I like to eat certain foods that I know I can eat. just cant ever see myself getting back to fully eating anything. thanks for replying appreciate it
Your answer is in that statement, it's worse when you're anxious.
I have a similar issue, mine is triggered by social anxiety or when general anxiety gets bad I just can't swallow my food, my throat closes and I need to chew and chew to swallow even the tiniest of crumbs. It's a very upsetting issue isn't it. I find certain foods more difficult, for example if I'm anxious i'll opt for fruit instead of bread. For the past few days I've had to live off apples and protein shakes! It's silly, but it's better than not eating, which will cause actual issues.
I hope that's of a little help Mark.
