Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Have you tried incorporating rice into your diet to gain weight? I like white jasmine rice and it agrees with my sensitive stomach. You could try eating small amounts throughout the day, served with some cooked veggies for some added nutrition - prepared however you like.
When I was under-eating due to an undiagnosed severe stomach issue that was missed by doctors for years, the best thing for me then was slowly increasing my food intake at meals, eating light and more often, eating things that agree with me (eating primarily whole foods and cutting out highly processed foods + gluten), and vaping cannabis for nausea.
Nowadays it's perfectly legal to get hemp shipped to your front door from online websites in most states for the time being... if you want a recommendation for nausea and appetite primarily I could point you in the right direction if you'd like.
Here is a reputable website for full spectrum CBD tinctures if ordering hemp flower/vaping/etc. isn't something you're comfortable with: https://www.lazarusnaturals.com/collections/tinctures?filter.p.m.custom.spectrum=Full+spectrum&sort_by=manual
CBD isn't something that's amazing for nausea or appetite specifically, but there are trace amounts of THC in there that could help. Low potency flower would be superior if you can tolerate it.
I do enjoy rice, yeah. That's not a bad idea, especially with the veggies.
Regarding the vape, I actually had to recently quit for unrelated reasons, but I can definitely confirm that I was eating more frequently with live resin carts. I'm hoping to be able to use them again in a few months, fingers crossed. Thanks for the tips.
Definitely advise you to check out Type 2 flower (low THC potency) or edibles made from Type 3 hemp (high CBD, low THC) if anxiety or THC sensitivity is the issue. Carts are very, very potent and I do not recommend them for most people, dry herb vaping low potency flower is much easier to mitigate side effects.
I also edited my reply with a link to Lazarus Naturals for full spectrum tinctures, which is a great company. HCF is my favorite for Type 2/3 hemp flower (search the acronym and append hemp at the end).
Disclaimer: Be advised that CBD has a grapefruit effect and is best to consult with your doctor before regularly consuming if you're taking any medications.
