Hello everyone,
I am suffering from 'real' anxiety while eating as well as thinking of eating. So here it is, I am perfectly healthy 29 year old man having problems doing something so natural as eating food.
It's not that I don't have appetite or something; I just get really paranoid when it comes to eating food. It's like whatever I put in mouth there is a huge risk of choking or who knows what. It's just so frustrating.
I want to know what is causing all that.
Any comments, suggestions are very welcomed.
To elaborate on the topic. I gave up drinking alcohol whatsoever 1 year and a couple of months ago because it was causing me problems. It's not that I was alcohol dependent but I was drinking more than usual.
I used to have some bad thoughts while eating even before I stopped drinking.
Is this a 'delayed' reaction of stopping alcohol?
Is it because of the whole lifestyle change?
So I went to see a psychiatrist and was prescribed anti psychotic pills. 1 week after I am eating a bit but the crazy paranoia is still here to stay.
Any comments, suggestions are very welcomed.
Bo
