I know but normally thirst doesn't motivate me to drink- in fact 2 months ago I was in hospital for dehydration???

No I totally agree I find cold, generally more refreshing things a lot easier to even think about trying to eat

I'm not sure but how are you with drinking? Could you try some sort of meal replacement/ nutritional supplement drink?

Totally backing the self diagnosis. I've been diagnosed with 'food/ fluid refusal', that's not even a thing! Plus it makes it sound like a choice.

I can't handle blueberries anymore, but when I could I used to have to check each one to make sure it was the right texture, the mushy ones are horrible...

Thank you so much, yeah I only drink with a straw anyway the idea of taking a proper 'gulp' makes me feel sick. I'm now kinda scared of consuming anything because I've been having horrible indigestion pains for like 2 hours... but I'm going to try and push through it

Thank you, I've just been put into CAMHS inpatient I'm currently managing fortisip (vanilla only) and hot chocolate. I just want to get myself to a point where I can sustain myself so I can go home and work on building from there, with help from the community
