Lately I haven't been doing very good with stress and depression. They usually come in combinations of feelings and just worries that I have. The last few days in order to eat I have been having to literally force food down! I am getting sick from almost everything I eat and I really want to eat again. I am trying to think of ways I will get my appetite back.... I really don't know what to do... I am trying to forget my problems and all the other stuff that seems to be floating in my mind lately. Eversince I had my extreme breakdown a few weeks ago I have been having a hard time blocking it all out. Now I am just trying to live by the days..... I really would like some ideas. I really don't want to have to go to the doctor! I hate that so much... All they will say is that I am underweight. I only weigh 95lbs. and I am 5'3 if you are curious.... Please help!

Start with really bland foods, plain rice, bread, toast, eat a little bit every few hours. Red wine increases your appetite, I used to be very underweight and my GP said to have half a glass of red wine an hour before my dinner every evening, it encourages you to have a better appetite. If you're not eating anything at all i don't think you should try the wine as it might make you feel light-headed. Try plain foods and when you've got something in your tummy, the wine will encourage you to eat a bit more.

I know you hate it but the doc can help you. Lean on us for support and the doc for the medical advice. Try to eat even the smallest of something. A bowl of soup with a couple crackers,ect. Just try to eat something whether you want it or not.

I have has a form of anorexia for many years. A good way of overcoming this is to sit down with your parent/s and make out a little eating plan for the week, you don't have to have a lot. Eat things you like, try to keep a balanced diet. Little and often is the way. A milk shake is also good and easy to drink. Good luck, (hugs)

Deep in the past. A time machine, this. I have gone back now to before we spoke. And here, you speak. Here I find the things you could not say. And you were yet to choose me as your second. Five years later, and still the honor lies bright upon my soul.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
