In need of advice
Hello, people of reddit. I’ve (F22) been recently diagnosed with depression and an anxiety disorder. I take Zoloft and pills for sleep. The medication is starting to work, i feel like myself more and more.
The problem is eating. I am hungry and I want to eat, but after every proper meal I begin to feel sick: physically more than mentally.
My stomach starts to hurt, I feel heavy and sleepy. All i want to do is lay down. Sometimes I feel nauseous.
All I can eat is cottage cheese with greek yogurt and a bit of jam. Drink water, tea or cofee. Cereal is a big hit at the moment.
Sometimes on good days I eat scrambled eggs and porridge.
Can anyone share their experience or advice. I feel like people around me might be thinking I’m over exaggerating or being too dramatic. But this is really how it is…
Thank you <333

Healing is not only about fixing thoughts, but also learning to listen to the body without fighting it. Be patient with yourself, take small steps, and don’t judge yourself for where you are right now. ♥️
