Forcing Yourself
What is Forcing Yourself?
You know you should eat but nothing appeals. You're choosing the most neutral, inoffensive food you can find just to get something in.
When you might feel forcing yourself
Forcing Yourself is a specific form of not hungry, which itself is a type of low & withdrawn. You might experience this feeling in situations where low & withdrawn is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define forcing yourself.
