I've seen this thread of messages regarding mental/physical illness a few times and wrote about it quite some time ago but unless you happen to find it on Tumblr, you probably don't have any suggested fixes for being hungry but can't/don't feel like eating. (Click on the photo for larger text.)
This is not medical advice. There may not be many avenues to finding licensed medical care while low-income. These are things I've picked up as coping mechanisms while having a Lot Of Health Issues that I probably wouldn't have had... if I had been able to both afford doctors AND had doctors take me seriously for literal decades. But now I finally do have some medical acces! And... the damage is done for life. ::shrugs:: So instead of just giving up, I look for solutions.
Here are a few of them I came up with and some stuff I learned along the way. Consult a doctor if you are able to so that medical issues can be documented and treated. Actual treatment is always better than "uhhh let's try this!" if you can access it. 2nd and 3rd educated opinions are immensely useful. The first step to fixing a problem is accurately naming it, right?
This is a long masterpost that addresses some different issues in the text chain. Different points are bolded so you can just scroll through them.
