    Next time you shop or are in a oharmacy pick up some ensure or boost. These nutritional shakes are great. Feel better and get what you need when you cant eat.

    I am really sorry you're experiencing this. Depression and anxiety can definitely have a damper on your essential needs however you do need to eat! Have you ever tried talking to a therapist or psychiatrist? It really does help and perhaps medication can help you resume your daily chores without crippling anxiety or feeling depressed.

    Hope you feel better!!!

    NOT eating can cause anxiety. Get that food in you any way you can.  If you have a juicer, pop in some nuts, kale and a banana or blueberries.  Your body will thank you.  Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon!
