Eating Question

[kaitlyn]

Does anyone else feel anxious after eating, or during? this has been happening way too often for me, especially at restaurants. I just want to up and leave right after I'm done. sometimes I'll be eating and I'll be so paranoid about throwing up that I'll just stop. It's so bad. please tell me I'm not the only one

you're not the only one, i get very anxious eating out at places and if i feel nauseous i'll stop eating and start playing with my hair (thats just something i do when i'm nervous) i actually did not eat at resturants for a very long time but i've gotten myself to eat at a *FEW* public places now. i was once posioned when i was out to eat and now i'm very petrified to eat out.

Same here it's so annoying to think about something all day everyday! Horrible! But yes I definitly know a few emets who can't eat out

Yeah if I'm eating out I often start worrying part way through my meal and so can't finish it. BBQs are the worst, I'm always scared the meat hasn't been cooked properly :\

We don't eat out much anyway, but when we did, I'd get such waves of panic and n* and I'd have to stop eating. Sometimes I even asked to go to the bathroom where I broke down crying. I'd much rather eat at my house. Something about being around unfamiliar people while eating just bothers me. At McDonald's once, I couldn't even take one bite because we were on a road trip in an unfamiliar town. I didn't think that his McDonald's food was safe, if that makes sense. I made such a scene.

I can't eat out. Looking back I realize that I've had panic attacks about eating out at restaurants when I was only 4 or 5 years old. I get so anxious just walking into a restaurant. The few times that I have been to restaurants I have either awkwardly not eaten anything or got a salad or something really light that I would feel comfortable eating and could digest easily with a lowww chance if any of food poisoning.

I used to not eat all of the time, but I weighed so little I was forced to. It basically made me hate food. I've recently gotten over my dislike of food and am beginning to enjoy it again. However, I still eat to live rather than live to eat.

I never eat out. I avoid family gatherings and i always tell friends and family that i am not hungry because i have already eaten so i am always left sitting at the restaurant and watching everyone else eat. I feel safe eating at home and i will only even eat at home if i know i am staying at home i dont like going out on a full stomach.

I haven't eaten out in around a year, and last time I did I was on a school field trip and brought my own food... so you're not alone. I don't like eating restaurant food anymore because I'm too afraid that getting in the car afterwards will make me v*.

You're definitely not the only one...I get extremely panicky when I'm eating out. I always make sure that I locate the nearest toilet before I start eating just in case!
