> I’ve been moderately depressed recently and it’s been really ruining my appetite. I have the worst eating habits in the life right now, and I’m unsure how to fix it

God I've been here for years, and haven't figured it out let. I don't like big meals, and I don't like standard schedule. I'd prefer just to snack throughout the day, but that's somewhat difficult to do in a way that's both healthy and appealing. My hunger occurs at random often extremely inconvenient times. I also just don't have the motivation, especially reading these other comments. Life if already boring enough without eating the same thing day after day.

Yeah it’s definitely annoying thinking of what to eat everyday, i especially hate spending money to eat two bites and not want to eat at all after.

I’ve been trying to train my body to get hungry at “normal” times. I kinda hate breakfast, always have, but now I’ll eat a piece of fruit i enjoy in the morning. Later on in the day I’ll try and eat something else that’s small and i enjoy. My thought process is that if i continue to do this my body will start to crave food at that time and my appetite may come back.

I’ve had varying degrees of success so far, i don’t have the habit of the small healthy snacks yet so i keep having to remember. I think i may set up a bot to text me to eat at X time.

The depression definitely doesn’t help, hard to motivate to eat when you’re low. Dealing with that in parallel should help. When i can exercise again I’ll probably start doing that too for 30 minutes a day to build up an appetite.
