Hi,

I've suffered with this phobia for as long as I can remember.. It has gotten progressively worse as the years have gone on to the point where I can hardly eat because of the fear.. In my eyes if the worst was to happen then I would rather have an empty stomach. Also anytime that I do manage to eat something I am sure that because I have food in my stomach then it will cause me to be *S*

It is affecting my health badly. I am severly underweight, I have no energy or motivation. I think I may be lacking in iron because I have all the symptoms of anemia.. I know that I need to eat but I am just so scared. Just the thought of eating the smallest thing causes me to have massive panic attacks.

I've been to countless doctors but none of them take my problem seriously and most of them have never even heard of this phobia.

Has anyone here suffered with not being able to eat and overcame it? How did you manage it?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice xx
