Going off/Avoiding Food

[scatmantom]

hi

Do any other people go off there food completely when your having a rough time?

When I am anxious I go off my food and don't eat at all...this is the situation I'm in atm. Soon I'm going to try eating toast, but im scared that eating will make me sick. This is a problem I have always had when Im nervous and I was wondering if any1 had any tips?

well its the thought of food that makes me sick (even when other people are preparing it), I dont have weight issues it goes back to when i was a child. I used to think my anxiety was caused by something I had eaten, and still to this day avoidance of food 1 of the first things my anxiety triggers. When im feeling fine I eat plenty and its not a problem, but now as ive moved in with new people and Im going back to uni soon im pretty nervous.

Im gonna try and eat small amounts today, and I should slowly re-gain my normal eating habits.
