I can't eat.

It's been a few weeks where I just don't have the urge to eat anything, I can eat small things and snacks, but the idea of eating a full meal messes with my stomach. I've tried forcing myself to eat but it usually leads to a nearly untouched plate.

I've never had a bad relationship with food or my weight, so I know it's not that, and I know depression can cause this lack of appetite sometimes. But it's been so long that I don't even remember what feeling hungry is like, just an empty stomach.

Any advice?

Sorry if something is wrong, English is not my first language.

I don't even know

I'm 20 and live with my parents and everything just feels really dull. I'm technically in the best point of my life, I have friends for the first time, my parents love and support me, looking for a job but don't need one to live right now talking to a therapist but I just don't feel anything or just feel sad.

Sometimes I laugh and joke with my friends but as soon as I get off our call everything just gets grey again. I'm barely eating, everything gets me annoyed, nothing I enjoyed feels good anymore, it feels like a chore getting up from my bed and going to my PC to play games I should be enjoying.

I'm not even sure the therapy is helping, the more I'm able to put what I feel into words the worse I feel about feeling that way.

Kinda of a rant but it puts into perspective how it's been, on the weekend my dad took me and my mom out, you know, making an effort to spend time together, but the whole time I didn't feel anything, everything he pointed out and explained how cool it was I just was there physically. On the way back I nearly cried and I don't even know why.

Tldr: I'm sad, don't even know what I'm expecting by posting this.

English isn't my first language and I'm on my phone, so sorry if it's a mess.
