I went through this, it’s anxiety. I would only sip soup because I thought I couldn’t swallow. Trust me, it’s anxiety.

I went through this once before also. Its literally a mind situation. Find something that grounds you. A shoulder tap always brings me back to reality. Try eating with friends so your mind is occupied or watching a good movie or show and ease back into it
