I have been seeing a counsellor for 5 sessions. It has been ok so far, but last week I finally blurted out that I have a problem with anxiety around food. I didn't say much more.
But I had anorexia years ago, and never talked about it to anyone (even my mum) except for a counsellor who helped me out of the mire.
It feels so frightening to talk about this. It is such a private thing.
And it is a shock to me that, now I have been honest with myself, that I do have a problem. Not the same as before, but still have issues around food and eating enough etc.
How am I going to get through the next session? I am just in shock and so scared.
The counsellor did ask me if my avoiding eating had anything to do with control. Well, no it doesn't (it definitely used to) but it does have a lot to do with coping.
It is past midnight and I am wide awake. So worried. I am not seeing her until Thursday.
Thanks for reading.
