It varies greatly for me.... When I am having a really rough time like I am now,, yeah I have no interest in food or much of anything..


most times when Im just a little blue,, I want to eat but of course I want to eat all the wrong things to cheer myself up..


Sometimes AD meds will affect our appetite too just a thought..

ooooh.. cheesecake! That actually sounds really good! I go one of a few ways.. Either I'm just not hungry so I forget about eating, I just don't feel like bothering to find any food.. or I'm simply discusted by the whole process of eating in general.. like you put it in your mouth, mix it with spit and then swallow it? That's gross. I mean you wouldn't want to just spit on your food and then eat it, right? That's where I am right now. It just seems really.. gross.

That was a graphic depiction of the eating process

I am not a big eater in general maybe once a day I eat and that is usually a late lunch no dinner no breakfast and on the weekends when I am not working I do not eat at all usually too depressed when I am at home and have no want to eat at all.

Alot of antidepressants can eather increase or decrease your appitite mine doesnt do any of those things it keeps you pretty balanced but that is because I have a slight eating disorder so my pdoc knew not to give me anything that would make me eat more or less.

Best bet try to not think of the eating process to be honest it made me not want to eat ever again....but dont worry I am sure tomorrow I will want lunch if you are hungry eat if you arent have one of those meal replacement shakes sometimes they help.

By the way welcome to the board.

That sound kind of like me. I don't eat in the morning or night, but will usually have something right after work around 4pm, and that's only if I'm in the mood to eat. I've never been a real big fan of eating in general. It hasn't ever really been about my weight or anything either. There are only about 2 or 3 days out of the month before my period when I actually FEEL hungry. I try not to let it gross me out, but sometimes it's nearly impossible to force anything down. I do good with meal replacement shakes sometimes. Other times I'm just so frustrated that I can't 'just be normal and eat' that I don't bother with them.
