I feel so bad I almost feel like passing out. I have lost my appetite and have eaten little things like jello.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes its a part of my life. On the bright side i enjoy losing a few pounds from it. Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, it's good old Depression. I live on Jello too when I'm depressed!!
It will pass, just make sure you take your meds with FOOD. Or they won't work well.
Try going outside for some fresh air and sunshine.
Do you have a Therapist? This would be a good time to call.

See your therapist if you've got one and try talking about it. Also, see your psychiatrist if you have one about a med change and getting on a new or different antidepressant. If you're getting so depressed that you don't eat you must need a med change.

Just like dobie saidits good ol depression. Sorry your going through this. I usually lose a few pounds when I get real depressed due to no appetite and not eating. If you have a therapist and/or pdoc give them a call, they can help. We are all here for you too. Take care my friend. (((HUGS)))

I spoke to my therapist yesterday. She told me s lot of interest things about what my past is causing in me now. She told me I was displaying ptsd symptoms. I need to find ways to work though it.

Huh I wish I could say that I did Jenn. I tend to binge eat when I am depressed. I am sorry you are feeling so bad Jenn. Maybe you can do something for you like take a hot bath or watch a funny movie. Hugs to you Jenn.

As soon as I wake up my husband says " Babe, you gotta eat something." He normally brings me somewhere to eat just to get me out of the house. I am sorry your depression is this bad (((((hugs)))))

Thank you.

That happened to me even when I was on meds. I've started to watch tv shows and movies. I also write to get my thoughts straight. Crying also helps.

If my mood is low and I don't feel like eating, I eat small snacks like fruit cups, or things that are my favourite foods like French fries, or pasta (in smaller quantities). It helps.
