I forget to eat and/ or have no appetite. I also don't like certain textures. Does anyone know why?

I haven't had an appetite recently and just forget to eat a lot of the times. Sometimes, I just don't even feel like eating. And whenever my parents make food, I usually deem it 'inedible' or it if is touching other foods 'contaminated.' Some textures make me gag and I just can't eat it. I can drink it if it's a liquid though. If I don't eat the food, I normally just retreat back to my room and wait until I actually feel hungry, which can be hours or longer. I would rather not eat than eat something I don't like.

Does anyone know why this is? A solution maybe?

Besides 'get over it.' That really would just lower my self-esteem more and just make it worse.

My boyfriend has that problem. He was in therapy for it when he was a toddler, but he still deals with it.
Try to see a professional about it, or just try to change your view on food. He looks at it as nourishment or fuel rather than enjoyment.

Eat things you like. Maybe your parents just aren't that great at cooking, haha.
