It must have been the medicine the doctor gave me for the ringworm two weeks ago. One of the side effects is loss of appetite/weird taste from everything you eat and drink. Of course, I must have gotten that one. Better than yellow skin/jaundice, I have to say. Of course... it's stress/depression as well. I feel so much better now that I feel thinner.

But, I guess it started with food not tasting good. I made one of my favorite meals a little over a week ago, took one bite of it and threw the whole thing in the garbage. It tasted like crap. So, I continued, or... stopped, all depending on how you look at it. It became easy. I didn't need food.

Now, I don't know. It's not an eating disorder or anything. I don't want people to worry over me. I'm not something to worry over, generally speaking. But, if it's not a disorder, what it is? It makes me feel ashamed. Ashamed of having the best boyfriend in the world, but all I think about it how I can wriggle my way out of the next meal.

I still eat, only not as much as before. Today I had 1/3 cup of mashed potatoes (tasted yucky), 1/2 portion of this spagetthi-stuff we bought, some strawberries and a small portion of dinner (chicken and rice with some sauce). I've eaten some chocolate, though, when we came home and now I feel... disgusting.

Mar, when my friend got his medication for his Ring-Worm, he didn't eat anything because it tasted wrong and icky. He didn't like the way he wasn't eating anything. He ate the food and didn't care about the taste.

But, if you still don't like the taste, then maybe you should wait it out and see if the side-effects go away.

I really feel for you, i really do sweetie. I also think that the time has come for you to have a chat to your GP. As things will not progress with you, until you sort it out. This may sound harsh to you, and other members reading this. I read a post by you three months ago, you said that you would rather be told the truth, than be told a load of nice stuff from people just doing it for the sake of it.

I am going to be honest with you Mer, you are such a nice bright girl, you have everything to live for. Nearlly everyday you feel down about yourself, it is a shame you feel that way. Things will not get better over night, and not on their own. Please go a have a chat with your GP, as i hate to see you like this.

You need to get yourself sorted before the family comes along. I had no problem until i had post natal depression, if i was down before my babies came along. I do not think i could of coped at all.

I don't plan on having children, and if I do, somehow miracelously fall pregant as we don't have sex, I'll have an abortion. Of course, this is something i'll grow out of, because... well, you know better.

[Emmadolly]

I am not saying at all that i know better, i understand where you are coming from Mer. I'm not having a go at your problem, it is far from that. I am trying to help you.

[Emmadolly]

You may not like me, because of the honesty i say to you. But when i read the pointless replies to the posts you make. When you open your heart to every member to read, and you have the simple ' oh sorry Mer you feel down'. I want to scream my head off to them, i know they are being kind, and want to help you. But it can only come from you. It it not because i know better, it is because nothing said on this baord has changed your way of thinking in the last 6 months. So that is why i have choosen to be honest with you .

At the end of the day, Merc knows what to do if she wants help. I don't think anything anyone will say on this forum is going to affect that decision, and I may be wrong here (Merc correct me if I am), but I think the reason Merc talks about her feelings here is for support, and not necessarily guidance.

I had so much more to say but my train of thought has crashed and exploded. It must be the coke.

That was a very good point to make. If Mer you want support and a chat with the girls, this is a good place to do it in. But reading your posts you are asking the right people for support and help. But they can not make it better for you sweetie. Because if they could, it would have happened already.

It might be because of the ring worm, your not feeling well, but if this does get worse, it may be a eating disorder, dont't let that reach out of control, or you will lose control and not eat anything, feeling reluctant to food may be a sign of anorexia, and if you feel digusted when you eat chocolate.

Im getting depressed about the past because I feel those were the good times, and I wish I could rewind back time

[DaSilva]

^^^ That happens as you get older.

What I say to myself is yeah I have great memories of my past, but now im going to make new memories today. That way in 20yrs I will look back on today and think how great these times were
