Don't Feel Like Eating

[Punk_Kid]

I'm not quite sure why but I don't really feel like eating.

I do have depression and have felt just really tired/exhausted the past few days.

I've been eating breakfast at home and lunch at school like usual but for the past 2 days I haven't eaten dinner and don't feel the "need" to eat it either.

I'm guessing it's because of the depression. But my question is this, how can I make myself want to eat more?

My opinion is, if you start forcing yourself to eat, you're likely to want food even less, so don't do that.
Missing 1 meal a day for two day's isn't going to be detrimental to your health, if you're suffering from depressing then you might have loss of appetite, in which case you should find that you want to eat again soon.

If this persists, though, maybe try thinking of ways to make food appeal to you again e.g. eat your favourite things, treat yourself to something nice that you want etc. - that way you'll want the food and you'll get back into the habit of eating normally again.

Hope this helps you out, hopefully you'll regain your appetite ^^

Thanks. I was just thinking though. Since Halloween just passed I have been eating more candy than I usually do (I didn't go trick-or-treating tho).

Could it be that I've been craving more candy and that other foods may have become less appetizing?

Possibly could be the craving thing. How did you find eating was today?
I think everyone goes through patches of not eating how they normally do, I wouldn't be too worried unless it continues over more than like 5 days or something like that.

Just a bowl of cereal like half an hour ago, I was cleaning the house so I was busy and that's why.

I drink fluids like soda and juice regularly, I never miss breakfast though even if I do eat it in the afternoon.

I had dinner last night, not much as I usually do but it was a decent portion I suppose.

And Thanks:D
