Anxiety appetite

For me it's a few things, I love food I consider myself a foodie. But I do suffer from anxiety that gives me nausea and I have ADHD so I have trouble with executive functioning. Which basically means for me that even though I love and enjoy cooking sometimes it feels like the barrier between me and eating is like a trench so I don't. I agree with you sometimes smoothies or simple things work better. I also find sometimes not sitting up and doing something else like watching something makes it feel less like a meal and more like casual snacking. Fruit as well typically for me I can always snack on that for a while. If sitting up and forcing yourself to eat is making you anxious perhaps going out and not necessarily eating out but going to a park or something so you are less conscious of it. But I do agree with you something is always better than nothing. And your appetite will come back.

what helped me was buying and stocking up on frozen foods/prepped foods that i liked and that were somewhat nutritious i also can get to the point where i can’t bring myself to eat much less cook something, so microwaving a quiche slice and having solo yogurt cups on hand was really helpful! that or buying salad kits and frozen grilled chicken tenders, frozen fruit, frozen bfast sandwhiches. some of these were maybe not the most nutritious, but it was the easiest thing for me to make myself eat

I struggle with this too sometimes. I also agree that smoothies/shakes are good, and soups are always an easy and comforting meal for me when anxious. I also really love cheese sticks, they’re yummy, quick and have protein

Oh yeah, yogurt has been a life saver.
