Could use some tips!!
Hello! i am autistic and have arfid (obv) which means my daily foods are pretty limited. Recently i came home from university and ive experienced a pretty severe regression. My safe foods that have been safe for YEARS are now only safe sometimes and it’s been really hard. I’ve pretty much only been eating protein bars and whatever pre packaged snacks i can find in the house, but i haven’t been eating enough at all with this. I’m pretty much eating enough to take my medications and maybe one meal.
Some days are better than others, but many days i get headaches and have stomach issues due to the under eating. I’m really not sure what to do as it was not this bad before/during school so i’m rather unequipped.
if anyone could give me some tips to help get me back to eating a healthy amount it would be greatly appreciated!!
edit: i’m also set to start a stimulant soon due to bad executive dysfunction and adhd which i will likely need to work come june, but im concerned that it will reduce my already dwindled appetite. idk how relevant this is as ive never posted here, but figured it was worth a mention since im asking for advice
