My doctor diagnosed me with an eating disorder called ARFID. it is an eating disorder where you are afraid of food because of a horrible experience like choking or v*ing. Anyway, it was so bad that I had to be in a wheelchair and have a feeding tube up my nose. This past year was great till I had a triggering dream and a triggering encounter with my niece. my question is, What coping skills do you guys suggest that can help prevent me from spiraling out of control?
Sorry to hear about this.
I too ended up in hospital but only for a short time in 2015...
I lost 8 pounds within about 2 months last winter due to some bug/virus I picked up over Christmas. Finally up to a healthy weight(sort of) now but came down with what feels like a minor flu yesterday and..low and behold - scared to even look at food.
I told myself to eat this morning even though felt groggy and honestly? felt great all day..energized...no tummy feelings...I feel off tonight but I've loaded my body with sugar and acid triggers. still unsure if I'm sick but I'm gonna try and eat tomorrow even if its a little bit.
Hope you're ok, I don't think you'll spiral after one incident, not as much as you did last time anyway.
