I just grated up some cauliflower and found a caterpillar in it. I keep retching and feel really tearful and panicky.
I haven't even eaten it - I just kind of feel betrayed by my food and I don't want to eat anything ever again. Oh god this is pathetic!
If people even talk about bugs I feel sick and panicky. Now I can't stop thinking about how many bugs I have eaten without knowing. Ah shit. Feel like a massive loser.

I am frightened of bugs too.

I think you may have 2 problems there.

One is the today problem. I know exactly what you mean. I once found maggots in what looked like a very healthy looking tangerine. Took me years to eat a tangerine properly again.

The other one is bugs in general. Would it help to talk about it? Cant say I have seen a bug phobia on here before.
