It's not uncommon that people experiencing some kind of trauma or depression loose their appetite. I have a friend that is that way, so she calls someone and makes a commitment to eat. I think it can be helpful to eat with someone else who can chitchat with you so that you're not thinking about the food or the depressing stuff and you can relax enough so that you can slowly get through a decent meal. It seems to work for my friend, anyway.

i sometimes have this problem when i'm depressed or anxious. it does help if you have someone you can have a conversation with to distract from the food, and eat slowly, that way it doesn't feel like you're eating too much but you're getting what you need.

I too know about anorexia and bulimia. I was both for a long time. I had to lose weight to go into the army, so i quit eating, and when I did eat, I would pop 4 maximum strength ex-lax. I then had to start taking water pills, because after a while, the laxatives don't work and you become full of water. I am back to that now.

Over the past few months, I have been severely depressed. Not because my husband just came Out as MTF TS, but because of my situation at home. There are days when I don't eat, and then when I do, I pop 4 ex-lax, then 4 water pills. I have lost weight, thanks to phentermine, an rx from my doctor, but now that I no longer have insurance, I am forced into my old ways.

My son told me today that I looked fat again, so here we go, back to the porcelain god for relief. I don't care what people think of it, it is after all my body, and I WILL do what I want. If it kills me, which I'm sure it won't, then ok. At least I won't die weighing over 200 pounds again.

I have seen all the movies about anorexia nervousa and bulimia, if the characters portrayed are me, then so-be-it. I refuse to be asked one more time "How far along are you?". I have been asked that question many times, and I can't hear it again, and I won't. I want to die looking good, not laying there looking fat in my coffin.

I don't recommend it, I don't condone it, but, it is your life, and if you feel that this is the right thing to do, then know the complications that arise from it: your heart is weaker, your throat becomes raw and bleeds, your teeth rot, your intestines get inflammed, your rear end hurts, you lose muscle tone and fat, and your body starts feeding on itself.

omgosh hon =( thats not healthy. you can't do that, it may be easy but you need to make a point of not taking those pills =(

I may be a hippocrit because I dont eat much AT ALL and Im not trying to eat more, but I would never take pills. and I'm not trying to make you feel bad, Im just saying you love yourself too much to do that to yourself =]

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
