Weird thing


20 years ago 0 387 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I've had panic for 12 years now and just the last 6 months or so I have suddenly developed this fear of eating also! It's like I know I have to eat to live so I make myself eat fruit or vegetables or something, which is usually ok for me to do. But, if I'm sitting down to eat a meal, I start getting anxious about how what I'm eating is going to affect my heart, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. I don't have any of these problems and I know I'm being irrational, but every time I go to eat something, I think, how is this going to affect me today, tomorrow or years from now? I've never had this problem with eating and I am trying to get over it. Sometimes it's easier than others, but it still gets to me. Oiy!

Well, this may sound weird but does anyone else have a thing about eating? I mean, I can eat just fine with people I am comfortable with but sometimes I get weird if I am at a restaurant. Or if I don't want to eat and I feel pressured to. When my panic and depression is at its worst, I am unable to eat. I have been fine but we got invited to dinner at someone's house that we do not know well. I know I should look forward to going (Tuesday) but I am nervous about it. Its just one of my weird things. I feel pressure alot about eating. I don't have an eating disorder, I am at a healthy weight and all, but sometimes I just don't want to eat. My husband has a "You HAVE to eat something, Thats ALL you are gonna eat" family and it is awful for me. This probably soons crazy though. Who the heck gets so worked up about A MEAL????
