Hello everyone,
I€™d guesstimate that my panic attacks happen about 80-90% of the time when eating food with 3 or more people is the €œsituation€. The lead-up is terrifying, the meal is a battle and the aftermath is no better.
Over the years when I€™ve tried to explain this to therapists, doctors or psychologist they all seem thrown by this and have little to no answers. This makes me wonder€¦am I alone? I€™m I the first case of a guy in his late 20s early 30s that suffers from this?
All my life I€™ve been known as a picky eater and yes, that€™s true I am. Eating for me is a chore not a joy. From about age 13-30 (4 years ago) I was a thin 6€™ guy and when thin guys don€™t eat much or don€™t clear their plates many people often verbally point out €œNo wonder you€™re so skinny€. I know this has been a big part of it and thus self confidence is also a big part of it.
So I guess I€™m curious to know if I€™m alone on this or are there others out there that also have high anxiety and/or panic attacks when food is involved?
Thanks
Ry
