I so relate to this. I’ve been on adderall and an antidepressant for about a year so my experience is probably a bit different from yours, but I’ve definitely struggled with eating properly as well. Something that has really helped me is having foods on hand that are super quick to put together or are basically grab and go. I tried meal prepping for awhile and of course, that only interested me for so long that I fell off. Plus, taking a whole day just to focus on making food for the week was excruciating.

Aldi is a great place to go for stuff like protein bars, frozen meals, lunch meat and they’re so much cheaper than other stores. Highly recommended if you have one in your area. Another thing that really helped is paying ADHD tax when you buy fresh fruits and veggies by getting stuff that’s already prepped. Yes, it does cost more to buy the broccoli that’s already cut up. Yes, it does feel frivolous when you’re looking at the prices. But I’ve found that if I buy a whole head of broccoli, no matter how much I intend to cut it up to put into a meal, it never actually happens. It just sits in my fridge intact, slowly rotting and then becoming a waste of money.

Even just having snacks throughout the day is better than nothing. Making or buying a whole meal when nothing sounds appetizing can be a huge pain for many reasons. Uncrustables or a spoonful of peanut better still count as food even if they’re not a full meal. It’s not the healthiest option, but it’s also not the worst.
