Good and bad days

Hi all! So I've struggled with food since 12 but ignored it. I know it's not right but yeah. I'm 24 now and I've gotten better the last year/ 2years. Some days I am okay but some get bad, like today I cooked lunch but now I smelt it and I feel sick, I feel sick in my throat, stomach. And it scares me to eat. I just wondered if anyone else experiences this and how you deal and get over this feeling. I've never been diagnosed with an eating disorder as I never went to doctors or anything as I was too scared. Nor do I want to label it and worry family members & friends. But recently it's starting to get worse again and I don't know what to do.

It does sound like its time to seek some help - your feelings around food maybe anxiety - I know I tend to feel sick when I'm pushing myself to eat sometimes - EDs are very complex and are a medical condition - if you broke an arm you'd go to the hospital and get treatment - an ED is no different - and from experience waiting and hoping things will get better and that you don't need support isn't the answer - so please do have the courage to discuss this with a medical professional - or ring anorexia and bulimia care or BEAT - confidential helplines - and chat to them.

You need to nip this in the bud now - when the fear creeps in eat your food do not let this urge or fear control you
