Anybody else deal with this? (1 Viewer)

This post mentions disordered eating, but it's not ed-related. Fair warning.

It's likely an autism thing in my case, but does anyone else struggle with feeling hunger? Like many times my brain doesn't register the feeling of hunger so I'll just forget to eat. I also can't tell what my limit is until I make myself sick. Especially these days I overeat and feel awful after, but because I'm used to that, if I don't overeat, I feel empty even if I'm not actually hungry. It's a bit frustrating...

No .... I feel hunger all the time xD

I don’t feel hunger much. Most of the time I eat regularly (2-3 times a day) but if I were to skip a day or two of eating (I have in the past) I still don’t feel anything hunger wise.

I do this, especially in the morning. I forget to eat unless someone tells me to have breakfast and/or lunch. Dinner I cook at the same time everyday because I know it’s time to eat by the time on the clock. Wish I could do that for other meals. I will often wonder why I feel nauseous or have a headache and then realize its cause I haven’t eaten anything since dinner the night before.

I don't think I could skip more than a day because my body starts feeling weak even without the hunger pains

Too real. I'm like, "Why do I feel horrible?" Probably cause I haven't eaten in 20 hours lmao

I don’t get the signals to be like “hey you’re hungry” but I do get nauseous and get a headache if its been so many hours. I don’t know why my body is like this. I’m tempted to just eat at the same time everyday regardless of whether I’m hungry or not

I no longer have those problems.

Stress and worrying can also disrupt your hunger

True, but this is something constant, not stress-related

Then yeah you could have someone check up on that
