hi.. I’m proper struggling with my eating anxiety
I beg if anyone has any tips, trigger warning!! I got sick once, didn’t eat for a FULL week afterwards but I was threatened with a feeding tube so I ate… now I have anxiety over ANYTHING I eat, even safe foods. I always have my phone to use with my flashlight to check it after every bite, just looking for tips… it’s making me anxious and sometimes makes me not want to eat anything all day/for days at a time… then sometimes I binge eat till I literally cannot eat anymore…
I’ll be really grateful ✨
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing such anxiety around eating. It's important to prioritize your mental and physical well-being. Consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who specializes in eating disorders or anxiety. They can provide professional guidance and support. Gradually expose yourself to challenging foods and situations, taking small steps to build confidence and reduce anxiety.
@rosie1hehe I tend to eat foods that have been proven agree with me then I incorporate them into routine meals so meals are not a big decision.
I think of al the people that are responsible for the food in front of me from farmers, to truckers, to warehouse and retail people and those who provide the money so I can buy it. While I eat I think of gratitude and helping other people.
Repeating success is one way to cope with anxiety. I do small meal or snacks every 3 hours and avoid binge eating. This keeps my stomach more regular and avoids extemes of fasting or binging.
I am not sure you have this condition, but there might be ideas here https://www.7cups.com/eating-disorder-help/
