Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
For the past 2 weeks this has become more of an issue than ever before. I thought maybe the excitement of my pending trip but as I look back on my daily journal I find entries where I haven't eaten for days. The last meal I had was a week ago Friday and tonight I forced myself to eat a small veg salad a small baked potato and a chicken leg. I went to bed 2 hours ago but I feel so sick like I want to vomit. I have no problem with fluids but solid food is next to impossible. What the hell is wrong with me???

Do you always feel sick after eating or is it something that hasjust started happening or was there any changes in meds. I know havelost my appetite a lot of times. When you dont eat your stomach will shrink so when you start eating again it will cause disruption because you are eating something heavy after having nothing in your system so maybe start with soup :-)

*correction...it doesnt really shrink the stomach. It just resets how your eating pattern.

Usually I vomit if its greasy or "heavy" ...I had some chicken curry soup...and that's seems to be staying in place for now. I like to eat I don't have anorexic or bulemic issues so I truly don't understand this one bit.

This has happened to me before, it lasted for about a month or so, it was horrible. I don't think it really has anything to do with depression, although it did make me feel more depressed than I already was. I think it was something I ate, that had triggered a reaction in my body perhaps. Things like stress and what medications you take can also be involved in these kinds of situations.

The only good side to this is I've lost weight. Not really the way I would like to but I'm making sure to keep the fluids up and I'm taking vitamins just in case. I hope it's not medication triggered.

Vitamins on an empty stomach make me have nausea.
