Hi, I've had health anxiety for a while and tend to get irrational things that make me extremely nervous. One of those is cooking and especially meats. I've been in 2 relationships with the other half doing the meals. However now I'm single, I'm trying to cook for myself and really struggling mentally. I tried cooking meatballs and noodles tonight but got stressed that the tray wasn't designed to be in the oven and that the wooden spoon shouldn't go in the boiling water. I freak out I will harm myself by cooking wrong and affect my health so for that reason my confidence is rock bottom.
I do have a few other triggers of my health anxiety but this is the main one I need to battle with as I have to cook alone for the indefinite future. Any help or suggestions to make this easier for me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PS I live alone so don't really have many options and I do like to eat well if I can hense 'trying' to cook.
