Hey guys, this is my first big post. I'm Rose,and I've suffered from emet since I was in the fifth grade. I also have an array of anxiety disorders, which definitely don't help things. Anyways, I can't eat or drink anything at all without feeling n*, no matter what time of day or what it is I'm eating. I also have intense anxiety, shakiness and n* even walking into a grocery store, like I can sense all the possibly contaminated food. I get really hungry though, like at school, and have to eat something so usually I eat something kind of crappy then feel awful the rest of the day. The worst of my attacks happen at night, but they also crop up at random times during the day like in waves of n*. I haven't v* since fifth grade, thank goodness, but I work obsessively to avoid it, and it severely impacts my quality of life. Any idea? I've lost over 20 pounds from emet induced anorexia- I have no body image issues, but I'm so scared of becoming ill that I don't eat. I hope I can find some people here to help me out.

Hey Rose, welcome to the forum! I am exactly the same way about eating, especially at school. Food makes me so anxious now. I don't have body image issues either, and people assume that I do by the way I act around food. Several years ago, I lost 15-20 pounds due to not eating from anxiety. It's a cycle of feeling anxious due to general anxiety, feeling n* from that anxiety, getting more anxious because of the n,* and then not wanting to eat for fear of v*ing. It's an awful cycle! PM me if you ever want to talk.
