Hello everyone,
Had a bad week with anxiety/stress. I have had a fear of choking on food fear of swallowing for around 3 months. It got slightly better, although still wasn't back to normal then I had a huge dip this week. So the things I could eat, now I can't. I am back to basics. I find soups/soft foods easier. However, worried of having an unhealthy diet so I'm going to make homemade veg soup and smoothies.
I got really depressed this week couldn't stop crying, frustrated with myself that I couldn't be "normal" and wolf my food down. My parents were concerned so offered to pay for hypnotherapy for me. I am on my way now, wish me luck I went once before it was good it was 3hrs long.
Afterwards I am going for a meal out with friends. I will be having soup. My councillor told me to not avoid foods. However, i have not avoided foods for 3 months and tried steak/beef all tough food. They sent me into a horrible anxiety manic. I just kept going round in circles.
Now I am having small portions. Last night i had rice, chicken and chips on a sideplate (baby portion) I finished it though and felt pleased.
Any advice? Want to get back to normal. FAT FOODS and YUMMY foods, I loooove to cook! :blush::)
