Feeling really fed up at the minute with food and I'm getting really frustrated and down about it.
I've had Selective Eating Disorder since I was 2 years old and ate the same three meals almost every day for at least 10 years. Most people don't seem to have a clue which makes it worse at times like this, it's basically a massive food phobia of most things. It's improved massively since seeing a specialist last year but I go through cycles where I'm happy eating the same few meals over and over. Then others like now where I can't stand to eat any of my meals and I live off chocolate and crap just to take a break from it which makes me feel really sick and unwell.
People with SED tend to favour plain tasteless foods which tends to be carbs so losing weight is almost impossible, especially with the binges that happen when I get sick of it. I feel unhappy after most meals for various reasons.
I don't know if I sound like a crazy person but yesterday I was preparing food I didn't want and I got really mad and let out a big scream. Maybe I'm losing my mind but that's how bad it gets me at times, I'm such a calm laid back person normally.
I just wish I could be a normal eater, I'm so envious of people with regular eating habits.
I think I'll get there one day but I just wish I could eat a meal without feeling the guilt afterwards.
