scared my eating habits will eventually catch up to me
i just found this sub and im not really sure what flair this will fall on. but im pretty sure many arfid sufferers had been told that if they don't eat properly, they'd develop this and that diseases. ive always been secretive of my condition and i avoid eating out with people bcs i dont want anyone to comment on my extreme sensitivity. even doctors tell me i will get sick in the future because of what i eat smh
i have safe foods and most of them, if not all, are categorized as unhealthy. so when i hear people say if i keep eating this way i will develop terrible diseases in the future, i get anxiety attacks. i have crippling health anxiety and emetophobia on top of all these, but when i do try to eat something "healthy" like vegetables, oats, yogurt, etc. i can't stand it at all, mostly the texture, i'd start gagging at the first bite. so i just stick with my safe foods and food that i can tolerate so i don't starve. but i can't help but worry and doom search if my eating habits will give me a disease/s. its exhausting
