the stress of choosing meals

i recently moved out of my mums house and food has just become one of the most stressfull things i have had to go through. my favroute food that i always used to relie on for like the past 13 years has now switched and i cannot stand the smell or taste of them. now all the foods i used to really like have gone and i dont have any safe foods anymore and eating has become really difficult. the only foods i can happily eat are nuggets from mc donalds but thats verry much not sustainable and whnever dinner time comes along i just feel like crying becuase i dont want to eat any of the foods iv bought. any advice on how i can regain a positive relationship with food again

  • Hi, I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I hate when food changes or gets discontinued, send me into a whirlpool of anxiety. What you could do is add extras to your food so like salt or tomato ketchup, preferably something you enjoy, that way it will add a bit more flavour and taste and hopefully make you enjoy it a bit more.

    I also struggle with eating and often just skip meals because I'm too anxious to eat anything. I don't recommend that though!

    Hope the above helped a bit.
