Anyone else struggling with barely eating, even when you know you should?
By JugglingNothing on
I’m not diagnosed with anything, but lately my food intake has dropped a lot and it’s starting to mess with my head. I don’t know if it’s a lack of appetite, stress, control issues, or some mix of everything, but eating feels… complicated now.
I’m not actively trying to starve myself. I just don’t feel hunger the way I used to, or I ignore it without meaning to. I’ll go most of the day on coffee, maybe a small snack, and then realize it’s late and I’ve barely eaten anything. When I do try to eat, I get full fast or just feel turned off by food.
This feels even harder to talk about. People don’t really expect men to struggle with food like this, so it’s easy to brush it off as “I’m just busy” or “I forgot to eat.” But it’s happening too often now, and I can feel it affecting my energy, my mood, and how I function day to day.
Part of me worries about it, and another part minimizes it because I’m not diagnosed and I don’t feel “sick enough” to say it’s a real problem. Still, something feels off. Eating used to be automatic. Now it feels like a chore or an afterthought.
