I finished treatment 3 weeks ago and I thought the hardest part was over. Physically, yes, it is but emotionally, I have never felt more alone and depressed.
I am extremely upset at my inability to taste things normally/eat. I have to use the stupid tube. It's incredibly lonely and frustrating and annoying. I keep trying things to see if I can taste them and then I get upset because I can't. It's alienating.
I know that everyone recovers differently but does anyone have any suggestions on foods to eat? Nothing tastes good and nothing tastes right. But I don't want to rely on the tube. I am completely capable of eating but I just don't and I want this stupid tube out of me.
