Loss of appetite

Question

I am currently engaged in therapy and have been struggling with anxiety and depression for the past few months due to a traumatic experience. I've learned that healing is not linear, and my depression causes a loss of appetite during the harder days/weeks.

The thought of eating food grosses me out no matter how hungry I get. I can force myself a bite or two of something until I get upset and can't handle anymore. But I can drink liquids with no problem! I mostly drink water but remembered that meal replacement drinks are a thing.

Does anyone have advice for getting calories and nutrition through liquids? Any recommendations for certain brands of meal replacement drinks or smoothie recipes? Do you take multi vitamins with them?
