Struggling with Eating: Need Help

I would talk to your doctor about this, it sounds like you need help with your anxiety. Kind wishes ❤️

This sounds a lot like Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. There are a few different types. It may help to look into Aversive Type ARFID and Restrictive Type ARFID. Aversive Type: “Not eating as much as others due to fear of choking, pain, nausea, or other unpleasant physical sensations.” Restrictive Type: “Having little interest in food or little appetite.” I hope you are doing okay, I know this post was from a while ago.

That's so valid, I'm sorry you don't have great support from people like your parents, but what you're going through is valid. Eating can be really hard sometimes, but it'll be okay (ik that's cliche but it's true) Some things that might help are taking small steps. For example, sometimes I push myself to eat 3 meals a day and when I don't, I feel like I've failed. But just eating small snacks or really anything when you can is amazing. Take it slow and don't push yourself too hard, but focus on doing your best. Also, for me, I have autism so I deal with a lot of sensory issues related to food (idk if you can relate or not) but changing what I eat and focusing on foods I really like made eating easier. For example, sometimes if I have a hard time eating, I'll eat a bowl of ice cream. It's not the most nutritious but really eating anything is better than nothing and anything you're able to eat is amazing. I hope that was somewhat helpful, but im here if you ever need any support or anything. You're doing amazing and you so got this

You need a specialist my friend. It's impossible to go through that alone
