Hello Faye and welcome! Your story sounds a lot like mine. My phobia started at 10 years old after a horrible bout of being sick, partly from a medication given to me. And I have all of your characteristics about food, worry, fear. I have 2 kids as well and it's hard to not let it affect them. Lots of great support here. Hope you are feeling a little less stressed...always seek counseling, meds, whatever you need to. Take care!
