Fear of constipation
Okay, so I've always struggled with eating disorders. HS I ate nothing but airheads, pickles and fries.
But last 5 years I've stopped enjoying cheese, bread, all that. I can't enjoy food because I'm scared I'll get constipated and rip or get hemorrhoids and if I eat it I worry and have to have a ton of water or a ton of veggies.
I'm exhausted.
@rebelraven35 What you're going through sounds very challenging dear. I'm sorry you can't enjoy food because of these thoughts. This seems to be more anxiety related than an eating disorder. You should work with your therapist to find out ehat fears/needs are being projecte through this unhealthy coping mechanism, and develop different techniques and strategies together. Everything can be managed with the right guidance. We are all here for you!
