The Validity of ARFID: My Struggle with Trauma-Based Eating Disorder

I think all eating disorders are valid. But what I wish there was more awareness on ARFID. Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. For me it’s trauma based, and I don’t know anyone else who has it. Going to treatment is hard because sometimes providers don’t understand. But I know I need help.. my weight has dropped so much and I’m only sticking to one food for going onto 3 weeks. I went to the ER surprisingly my labs are semi ok. I’m just afraid my levels will get worse again and I’m back in the icu for malnourishment and very low potassium. It hurts so much through an IV!
