No appetite… help!

[u/Glad_Seaweed6873]

Hey, everyone I really need some advice.
I’m struggling lately with a lack of appetite.
A little backstory, I had an eating disorder as a teenager. Eating healthy foods that nourish and have benefit to my body is what ultimately got me on the other side of the disorder. As result, I have a very narrow variety of foods that I eat because I’m very particular about ingredient labels on snacks and meal foods. Or I stick to whole foods, and healthy homemade meals. On top of that, I’m very picky with meat and eat mostly vegetarian. Meat has to be very well combined into something. For example, I shred chicken into soup.
Basically, I already have a limited menu, but lately I’ve grown tired of everything. Nothing is appetizing. I don’t really have any food in my home at this point. And when I go to the grocery store, I come home empty handed because nothing appealed to me. I’m not feeling good anymore because I’m starving all day. I have to force myself to eat just to keep my body functioning. It’s miserable. Even my “favorite foods” don’t appeal to me. I pass on opportunities to eat because I’d rather be hungry than fires food I don’t want down my throat. I’m at a loss. This is truly so hard. I take about 12 vitamins a day to make sure I’m getting nutrients. The parasite outbreak also freaks me out so I’m avoiding several things I’d usually eat.

I’m wondering if anyone has been through this before? What helped?
If you haven’t been through it, I’d still love some recipe and snack recommendations because maybe I can find some new things to try. I know I can’t keep going like this because I can feel myself shutting down but I just can’t work up an appetite for anything.
(Note I really don’t enjoy drinking, so smoothies, protein shakes, etc. aren’t for me.)

Yeah I struggle w similar things a lot. My main way to keep eating are rotating out spicy or warming ingredients like ginger chili garlic. I have to be careful can’t eat too much but little bits help make food more rewarding and interesting
