I’m accidentally starving myself
Hi everyone. It’s my first time here, but I thought this might be a community that could help me. I am not seeking medical advice, but maybe some tips to help with what I’m going through.
As the title says, I’m accidentally starving myself. I do not have any sort of diagnosed ED. I love food. But cooking feels like a hassle, and eating feels like a waste of time when there’s more important things I could be doing. I am a college student in my junior year with a job and eating is hard because I’m so busy and exhausted all the time.
Usually things get the worst at the end of the day. Around 10/11PM I start feeling sick, nauseous, and light headed because I haven’t eaten enough. It’s to the point where my stomach hurts so bad that food just makes it worse. I end up going to sleep without eating many nights because of this, no matter how hungry I am. Eating is so much work and I don’t want to make the nausea worse. I don’t even get hunger cues anymore, I just feel sick.
I hope this is an ok place to vent about this. I know it is not as serious as what many others here are going through but I’ve been having a really hard time with it recently. I thought maybe there would be someone out there with advice. Thank you for reading.
Edit: I have diagnosed depression and an anxiety disorder & am medicated
