Sport 6'1 and 145 pounds

Sport Fitness
I have severe anxiety which I have pills for as well as depression which I have pills for. This all makes it hard for me to eat. Eating is a tedious task instead of one someone normally would enjoy. What are easy to eat weigh gaining foods or products that work? My family is really strapped for cash so price is a huge issue.

omg! talk to your doctor and explain that the pills make you not hungry. you are WAY too thin! how often do you go to the doctor? they should have already noticed your weight problem. I hope you find something that works. i dont know much about weight gain so someone else will have to tell you what to eat that helps you gain but is healthy. personally anything you can get in you looks like it could help you at this point. next time dont take a pic with you breathing in deep. you are already skinny as it is that makes it look worse!
 
I see my doctor every 3 months, I lost about 4 pounds last time I saw her, and she just said, I need to do a little better at eating. I told her how my anxiety makes it hard for me to eat, and she just nodded.

So I dunno.
 
wow im sorry. thats terrible. are the pills helping your anxiety at all, cuz doctors love prescribing drugs even when unnecessary. so if they dont work, stop them and eat!
 
You doc sounds like an Ass. Just eat as much as you can but sta yaway from fast food and ready packet food.

Things like rice, bread and pasta are cheap and easy to make.
 
How about Ensure meal replacements plus trying to eat.?


Also the pills do help, but not with the food. Sometimes not with the depression. Also I don't want to up my medication to much. Yet I need it. :(
 
ensure isn't that nutritious, and will cost more than a loaf of bread or a box of hi fiber cereal.

let me ask this...do you think you'd be less prone to anxiety if you had more weight on you...were a healthy weight with a bit of muscle? i bet you would...and wouldn't that mean you could likely reduce your anxiety meds?

I'm not a real fan of head meds, as doctors seem ot just hand em out nowadays to anyone who thinks they need it, rather than diagnosing the patient first.

bags of brown rice are cheap. if you can, get some whey protein powder, its cheaper than buying meat at the store, and since its more like weak chocolate milk, it'll be easier for you to consume since its not like 'real food'. plus its convenient.

Bulk up man. IF you use my link, take it slowly first. Add just 200 calories every week and slowly build. Focus on techinques in the lifts and not the amount of weight. (if you can lift :eek: ) And your doctor sounds like an idiot.
 
i agree with you guys. most likely you really dont need the drugs. i have a friend who is on a few drugs and is pretty skinny as well, never hungry and when she does eat, its like candy. but honestly i dont think she needs the pills and would be much better off without them.

and this is not meant to be rude but if you can barely afford food, why does your family have internet??? that confuses me. :confused: i would think food is more important but i dont know, maybe thats just me...
 
Whatever you do, dont stop taking your meds based on this forums advice. I would really sit down and talk with your doc and make her listen, if she wont find a new one. You are too skinny, but there are definitely things you can do. Maybe talk with a nutritionist as well.
 
No one in my life understands The anxiety is killing me. It's not that my stomach is too small. My anxiety makes food overwhelming. Makes me feel nassau about food. I am 45 pounds underweight. My doctor don't care, my mother has her own mental pain to deal with and says I should double what I eat, even though we don't have enough food to do that. My doctor is a moron, I give up. I will allow myself to go 50 pounds underweight, 55 pounds underweight. Then see how long it takes for somebody to care. My mother says she has noticed I am too skinny, but all she can do is tell me to eat more. Father just says eat more. I give up. My mom hasn't gone shopping for food, so we have like nothing. I begged her to go out, but she says she needs a day without anyone expecting things from her. Yet she has been saying that for about 5 days now. I have never been normal weight in my life, except when I was a young kid. I can't remeber if I was depressed then. If no one cares about my weight and health around me, why should I?

Maybe I will just get a heart attack in my sleep if I am lucky and not when i can feel it.
