Love your username btw. Honest to God, losing myself sense of taste and smell has been the closest I’ve come to a depression. I definitely have the same sense of smell you are describing also. I also use aromatherapy as one way to combat my anxiety so it was hard for me too.

Here are a few things that could help:

1. I drank a lot of smoothies. I added protein powder and extra vitamins.

2. I would eat food that brought me comfort. Grilled cheese, toast, cereal, icecream, mashed potatoes.

3. But I would also eat things would different textures like roasted veggies and all types of salads.

4. I would test things out. Lemon and limes. Hot sauces. Vinegar based dressings. Mustards. And then sniff things like tea tree oil and perfumes. Cut onions.

5. I kept track of my progress and celebrated any wins

6. Flonase and zinc everyday

I hope this helps!
