Hungry, but nothing is appetizing.

Can't afford the doctor.
Doctors do really want to help people. That is what doctors do, most do anyway.
Ask about a payment plan.
How old are you?
I have children and grandchildren, so I can’t help but be worried for you.1 -

I am 29. Just lost my full time job due to closure of the business. No insurance. Also, I appreciate your concern.5 -
Have you eaten today?

What about some soup or a sandwich? I love the black bean soup at Panera (vegetarian). I don't know where you're located, but the Dakota Smashed Pea and Barley soup at California Pizza Kitchen is delicious and vegetarian.
Pasta, any way you like it. Macaroni and cheese. Grilled cheese (and tomato). Vegetarian chili.
I go through times where I'm somewhat like you're describing, usually due to anxiety/depression. To me, soup is comforting and easy to eat. Also, when I get like this, I may have no appetite when I'm alone; but if I go out with a friend, I can usually eat. Do you have friends/family nearby (a) to eat with and (b) to talk to? Do you live alone?
What did you "used to" like to eat? Can you try to eat one or more of those items? Olives? Avocado? Artichokes? Rice? Pizza?
Please eat something today and post when you do. A lot of people are worried/concerned about you!

I used to like all the things that you mentioned, but even they don't appeal anymore. They just seem boring at this point. I live with family, but they aren't helping much. I do appreciate the concern.1 -

It doesn't matter if they're boring. Just eat one.2 -

It does matter. If I eat and I'm not satisfied I'll just keep binge eating and that's not good.0 -

Neither is undereating and starving yourself.
Stop making excuses and get help - you need to ask family for help if you can't afford to see someone about your eating disorder3 -

I understand that, but it still doesn't make the decision any easier.2 -
I think, as hard as it is, you have to force yourself to eat something. You haven't eaten in over 24 hours; I'm concerned you might pass out. Vegetarian Mexican food is flavorful (I know you mentioned you don't always taste things well). Peanut butter sandwich? Baked potato? Chips and salsa?
Are you drinking to stay hydrated?
A few weeks ago I went through a brief spell like this (nothing appealed), but I realized I had to eat something, whether I liked it/wanted to or not. Please eat. Maybe looking at some food blogs/recipe sites might spark an interest? Either way, though, you need to eat.

I had too much acid in my stomach and my doctor had me take omeprazole every morning to treat it. I'd see your doc to rule that out before seeing if it's an eating disorder. I had anorexia and am recovered and the loss of appetite felt completely different than any of that. I wanted to eat but the thought of anything except club crackers made me feel sick. Seeing my doctor, getting the omep and now I'm back to normal was the most helpful thing i did.
ETA: Just read you cannot afford a doctor. Is there any clinics near you that accept anything like carecredit? The damage you could do to your body from not eating for longer than this could end up costing more than a clinic visit.
Good luck! Hope you feel better.0 -

Haven't been drinking either. We went to a local wildlife park today. So not much opportunity for that. Mexican might be okay, but I don't know.0 -
Oooooookay, OP. I'm assuming you're a Doctor Who fan? On that assumption, and as someone who started watching with the 9th Doctor, do you remember one of the most positive, jubilant lines from The Doctor Dances?
Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once everybody lives!
Now, OP, find some food you can deal with and freakin' eat it so you can freakin' live. No nanogenes are gonna come save you.9 -

Cheese quesadilla, refried beans, chips and salsa. Oh yea. You can do this. With your friends, sounds perfect.0 -

The wildlife park sounds like fun! There's one near me that I really enjoy along with a few other nature trails.
If Mexican food "might be okay", just try it. (Don't think about it, just go get some.) 😀2 -

It might have been fun if not for being hungry. I was in such a bad mood all day. And, the park didn't have anything appealing for lunch. Gonna have to get something soon.3 -
Absolutely, go get something. Later on you can post what you had. (Now I want Mexican food.
) 2 -
just find something of sustenance. even if it sounds boring if its something you like and can eat it, then eat it. I know its hard but if you dont you will end up in the ER one way or another if you dont eat. especially not having anything to drink will exacerbate issues further. trust me you dont want to dehydrate yourself it sucks being dehydrated, it causes pain and other issues.not to mention you will be hooked up to IVs. you definitely need water for sure but you also need food. even if its not considered the healthiest. not eating is worse than eating stuff you deem junk.

Trying to make your tummy growl. Don’t you feel it. That sensation? Rumble, rumble.3 -
I would just eat something very basic, even if it’s not the most nutricious it’s better than nothing. Eat white rice or a baked potato for exemple. It should be filling, not overly tasty or deranging...2

Well, I finally ate. I had a burrito bowl from Chipotle. Brown rice, black beans, tomato salsa, and corn salsa. My mood has definitely improved. Washed it down with some water and a few of their chips.
Thank you guys for your concern. I don't ever want to go through that again. I'm gonna have to go back and retrace my steps this weekend to see what would have brought this thing on this bad the last few days. I mean I get indecisive about food quite often, but it's never spiralled out of control this much. Sorry for being such a grouch and a negative Nelson. I appreciate the concern a bunch.8 -
I’ve been there! Usually when I’m really stressed this happens. Hungry but nothing seems delicious. Def want a meal, not a snack. My trick was to have a liquid meal. Make a green protein smoothie or a simple soup like lentil or chicken and veggies. That way I got the balanced meal in me, the full meal feeling and could stop overthinking food options.

good that you ate something!. stress,depresson and other things can cause that to happen too. so maybe keep a journal about how you are feeling on days like that? then you can maybe see what triggers things like that.3 -
Good news. I was fixin' to take you over my checkered apron! LOL2
