Anyone else have intrusive thoughts that interfere with eating properly? I often have intrusive thoughts about food and vomiting that make eating enough really difficult

      Yep! I have them about gross things being in the food which causes my throat to close up so I can't eat, but I've learned to cope by eating while playing games or watching TV to keep my thoughts focused on something!

      Yes I do too! I have them about bugs while I’m eating/parts of bugs/etc. I haven’t figured out a solution yet.

      My entire life! Its so annoying. Mine revolves around the food being something not food or something that disgusts me. I deal with it better now but it still gets me every now and then. I usually eat while watching something and try to accept any thoughts as if its a toddler with an overactive imagination.
