Does anyone else feels aversion to food after family fights?

:ask: Ask Teens

Hii ! Been a longtime lurker first time posting here.

I've noticed something about me whenever there is a family fight my mom always brings how she's feeding me, I'm eating out of her money, and it kinda makes it hard for me to eat.

Ik eating is essential and fuel for the body but it makes it really difficult because these sentences are often followed by when you are not feeding us / running the household.

Sometimes even when I'm hungry and try to eat it just doesn't go in, I instantly spit it out because it starts choking me almost.... I'm a big foodie, I love cooking and eating and sharing my food with others and have a appetite above average for sure but these situations make it hard for me to eat.

Like today we had a family fight and my mom again said you won't eat anything from here, cook your own or go where you'll get food and again my aversion is back even though I'm hungry and I've eaten some packed biscuits I can't eat food. She came and apologized even asked dad to ask me to eat, they think it's because I'm upset but I simply cannot I'm not even upset anymore if that makes sense.

It's an unhealthy lifestyle ik it for sure because my hairs have started greying and I'm getting thinner and mild dark circles.

Does anyone else feels the aversion towards food after family fights ? How do you even deal with this ?
