I hate sticking labels on people but does anyone else suffer from this?
For many years I have been trying to do everything I can to avoid being sick and as a result I have been at a very low weight for most of this time. Everything I eat / drink I see as a potential risk, so when there is the possibility of going without, I would tend to do that. It stops me from being able to socialise, has prevented me from moving on in life, and the way I look has stopped me getting jobs and the looks and people's judgments have robbed me of any hope for the future or any self worth and confidence. Also I spend so much time food shopping to convince myself I'm doing my best to avoid problems e.g. being around when refrigerated things come out as I regularly see cold stuff being left out for too long before it reached the shelves.
Just wondered if there is anyone else out there. It is so incredibly frustrating wanting to eat more to help me change the way I look, but not being able to for fear something will make me ill.
