Answer 1

Depression affects eating patterns. Some people don't eat enough, some people eat far too much.

If you can force yourself to eat, make sure you have some protein (like a handful of nuts) and a piece of fruit or a vegetable if you can manage. Take multivitamins until (and after) you get your appetite back.

Talk to a school councilor or a psychiatrist about it. They're trained to help people with problems like this.

Answer 2

even if your not hungry you should eat.

depression affects people diffrently for me i dont eat

but i make myself eat healthy things so i wont over eat or eat things that will not help me!

i would try to do things to help you forget about the ex and get over him

like hang out with your friends or get a pet(if you dont have one) so you can take care of it instead of being sad

Answer 3

Im the same way. when im depressed i'll go days without eating but be careful because your E.Ds might be back,they can relapse when youre depressed

Answer 4

Well sometimes i get depressed and can't eat eiether but when worse comes to worse you just have to eat something. Otherwise you might do down that path again.
