I just want to feel like me again

[MissLDM]

About 2 months ago I had gastro or food poisoning and I haven't been the same since. I've always had a bad relationship with food ie scared to eat certain things because it might make me sick. I have a massive phobia about vomiting. I've had no trumantic events around this but always have had a phobia of it since I was little. I've suffered anxiety and depression since I was 11years old. Been on the same meds till now. And they have always worked. But now I'm scared to eat. I've lost over 10kg in 2 months. I'm scared to go out. I'm scared of everything. I'm normally so socal and nothing bothers me. I'm seeing a phyc tomorrow and under docs care. But has anyone else ever had such a dear.. a fear of eating. ? 😞

hi,

I'll admit I'm not an expert in this but here's my advice.

• Start by eating some of the foods that are easier to eat with some harder ones.
• Don't stop eating even though you are scared you need food
• Talk to someone. someone you trust
• Remember, you're not the only one with cibophobia. many people all over the world have it
• Just be calm

I hope you found this helpful. Eventually it will get better I promise.
