I've always been really good at dealing with my emetophobia, and whenever my stomach growled, I'd be able to stop the panicking and say "see? I'm just hungry." And calm down again. That meant I never had trouble eating, etc.
However, the last few days I've been scared of eating.. I know I'm hungry, but I feel like I'm gonna t**** u* anyways. I don't know why. And I don't know what to do about it.
I'm not s***- I don't feel s***, but I have been dealing with some acid reflux the last few days as well, and it comes up my throats to the back of my throat, and I can taste a bitterness. It scares me.. and it happens whenever I'm really hungry.
I don't know what to do.. I'm sitting in class and I know I'm super hungry (my stomach was growling all morning), but I for some reason can't make myself believe it..

Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest drinking lots of fluids. They don’t have all the nutrients you need, but that have some, and you will feel more comfortable drinking than eating. Try eating lightly when you’re n* but hungry too - crackers, pretzel, veggies, and fruits are all good choices. Sometimes having the food in you actually makes you feel better. When you see that you can eat, it reduces the n* as well as the feeling of hunger because you become less anxious when you know you can eat.
