this might sound weird to you guys but have you ever heard of anxiety eating disorder? I have been having this disorder where I'm always anxious when dining out. It started about a year ago. One day I was eating out and I didnt have appitite. I thought it was normal thing. But after that day pass every time when I'm dining out I have this fear/anxiety that I couldnt eat. As a result I couldn't eat anything when I'm outside, because I lost my appitite due to my anxiety. Since then I have been avoiding dining out even when my friends call me to join them I always given them a excuss. I'm not fat or trying to loss weight by the way as I'm very thin. I seriously need help cause I keep avoiding social contact as when someone call me to go out I always reject them bacuse I fear that I couldnt eat. Worst part is, my anxiety came before I started to eat. For instance when someone call me to join them dinner tomorrow I feel the anxiety already.

QUOTE(xSinner @ Apr 11 2010, 12:14 AM) well if you are only afraid of going out to eat then maybe its something like "eating-phobia" Yes as we keep avoiding it it'll just get worst.. I try not to avoid it but it's so hard and sometimes I feel that it's like becoming part my life. Which is what I'm afraid of if you are afraid of approaching people or having problem to talk to other then it is anxiety disorder... i heard there is a successful treatment for anxiety disorder, forgot what its called, something called CBT me i have this problem too, like sitting in a place just for talking, i will feel very bad (dining too) but if going out to play something or watching then i think still better :/ but it is going to be worst if you just keep avoiding it.. cucumber I know how you feel. And yeah it does affect my social life too as I keep rejecting invitation that involve eating. I don't know any psychologist around town but even if it does have I think the cost will be like  Anyway for now I guess just have to do what we can to overcome our problem.  btw.. no one in this forum can really help? |
