December 16, 2017 at 6:16 amHow did you know my process?!
Elle says
December 16, 2017 at 7:38 amToo close. Then, there are other days I eat too much and either way, I feel guilty.
Will says
December 16, 2017 at 8:19 amI usually buy a box of cookies or donuts at the grocery store and binge eat the entire package. Tastes like self-hate with an aftertaste of guilt. 🙁

December 16, 2017 at 8:38 amSo much truth in this one.
I don’t like any food and I don’t enjoy eating. It’s just something I have to do because I don’t have willpower to not eat.

December 16, 2017 at 9:50 amI had a recognition giggle. Mine is the exact opposite but feels exactly the same.

December 16, 2017 at 9:53 amGood tasting food is pretty much the one thing keeping me going, some days.
Jose Bello says
December 17, 2017 at 4:31 amouch. Including not getting the complete ingredients to prevent that from happening is even worse.

December 18, 2017 at 10:43 amI just binge read all of your comics. For some reason it made me feel better. Thank you.

December 18, 2017 at 1:28 pmOh no. I feel the hunger pain. Please eat (something good) and feel better!
Agarax says
December 19, 2017 at 12:39 amMost of the time I was depressed I had a sense of detachment, so that sensations were dull and distant. Food was bland, colours were dim, sounds were muted, and I barely noticed heat, cold, or physical pain. Sometimes I felt that the world wasn’t real, that events I was witnessing weren’t actually happening, or that I didn’t really exist.

December 20, 2017 at 10:14 amI got a good tip from somebody once: Eat like you’re sick–because you are. Everything tastes like nothing? Eat chicken soup, or whatever fills that place in your culture of origin. Hate the mere act of swallowing? Stay hydrated anyway; keep something nearby and sip it whenever you happen to glance at it. Stomach hurt? Ginger and saltines. No damn appetite? Beef broth, or equivalent. This method has the advantage of being a short, easily remembered list of foods. Also, if you’re in the headspace where you don’t think you deserve food, it isn’t food-food; it’s medicinal food and therefore it’s your duty to take it.

December 20, 2017 at 9:32 pmAlso, something easily prepared. I keep a stash of emergency nukables, as well as soups. I can’t always count on myself going through with anything involved, or even making a decision. So I keep things on hand that I *can* do, and then I can curl up in a fuzzy blanket after.
A chunk of my issues come with fatigue and/or pain, and I can’t always tell until I accidentally make it better and notice improvement. I don’t have the capacity to diagnose properly unless something improves. But at least with the emergency food, I can get rid of hunger pains and have a nap, and while it doesn’t fix everything, sometimes you just need to be less miserable to get time to *pass* until it is better.
Jenny Islander says
January 18, 2018 at 9:21 amAmen to that last sentence.
YK Greene says
December 24, 2017 at 6:39 amExact opposite of me, I eat the tastiest things I have when I’m depressed. Cause they’re the only thing I can work up a ghost of an appetite for.
Damian Alcántara says
March 20, 2018 at 12:06 pmWow, I’ve been exactly there 😢
