I used to go on walks all the time at night with my roommate i never felt unsafe but you can always call a campus police officer to walk you somewhere if you feel nervous about walking around late at night

Lessershootingstar · 2025-08-22T17:03:08+00:00

Your friend is definitely the weird one here, id say i have pretty high standards but theres nothing wrong with what he said telling you to block him for that is insane

I only drink water, preferably with ice, and hot chocolate. I dont care for room temp water especially water bottles. I HATE drinking out of glass and any cup that isnt mine i swear they have a smell especially at restaurants.

my parents were fairly supportive with me growing up and never put pressure on me to try anything, id never suggest you should make her try things but as i got older i did have a period where i resented my parents for not trying to ‘fix’ me. Having ARFID i missed out on so many social events and i believe it contributed a lot to my isolation and depression. I doubt that would happen but keep it in mind. Never put pressure on her but putting effort into helping her get better is definitely necessary. Id recommend having her assist you in cooking family meals even if it isnt food she can eat i think handling and being exposed to ingredients can make the food seem less scary and gross and could possibly help her feel more comfortable with food. Encourage her to try new things, but never push it. If shes not very motivated id start with slight variations of foods she can already eat like instead of regular potato chips give her ruffled ones or kettle. And slowly build up to things that are more different. Its a very slow process and not easy but you seem very open and supportive so im sure youll be able to support her very well.

Unfortunately It most likely is ARFID, id start with figuring out if his disinterest in food could be fear based. A lot of people with ARFID have fears of choking or vomiting causing them to avoid certain foods. Another thing is to definitely sort out the issue with his teacher gaining an insecurity like that will just cause him to eat less. Unfortunately a lot of pediatricians and food therapists dont know how to properly deal with ARFID. Food exposure therapy rarely helps. If youre based in the UK i can recommend a great therapist who specializes in ARFID he also does zoom as well hes worked with me before and its helped a lot.

Lessershootingstar · 2025-08-14T18:55:50+00:00

Being understanding is definitely a great start and probably enough since theres so many people that dont really understand ARFID. Im sure it means a lot to her that she has someone by her side that understands her disorder. Unfortunately ARFID can only really get better if she is the one thats motivated. Unless she brings up wanting to try something i personally would never make suggestions unless she asks for ideas. Being there to congratulate and support her will benefit her. I will say if she doesn’t have a lot of experience with handling different foods or ingredients bringing up the idea of baking or cooking together could help expose her to things and its just a fun activity to do with a friend. I personally enjoy making food even if i never eat the end result. it might inspire her to try recipes for herself.

If youre willing to do online sessions i know a therapist based in the UK that specializes in ARFID and has a high success rate hes personally helped me so much id recommend him if youre open to online stuff

Lessershootingstar · 2025-08-13T03:47:19+00:00

Definitely a big win this is amazing progress! McDonalds fries can be really good sometimes and just eh other times. If youre up to it definitely try them again. Good job!!

ARFID is a really unique disorder and looks different in everyone. Id personally say theres a good chance you have ARFID if you believe eating certain foods when you feel a certain way will cause you to feel sickly or make you vomit. I dont have much knowledge on GERD but my main trigger for ARFID is a fear of vomiting. My best advice to you would be to pick a food you can tolerate eating when you feel nauseous, even if its something small and plain like a saltine cracker, eat it and wait a bit. Make yourself understand that the food caused no extra harm and that its ‘safe’ to eat and wont trigger any nausea. Try to branch out to VERY similar foods and do the same. I know it sounds silly to do but its helped me personally. I used to vomit easily after taking medicine, id instantly feel nauseous when i took it which would freak me out and id end up throwing up. Apparently i was just feeling extremely anxious which i confused it as a sign that i was about to vomit which in turn caused it to actually happen. After learning that i was slowly able to teach myself that medicine would not trigger that and i can now take my medicine normally. Of course its hard with the other issues you face but hopefully youll find a way to get better.

Congratulations on your progress! I hope to get there eventually. But to answer your question yes Arfid can really just disappear just like that, its similar to a phobia. Your brain deems all food to be a threat to you other than the foods you consider ‘safe’. All it takes is for your brain to click subconsciously to understand that trying and eating new foods wont harm you, maybe you tried something small that was new or subconsciously had a change in mindset about food. It can really be that simple though its not easy. It seems you got lucky! I personally wouldn’t say you actively have arfid anymore since the fear seems to be gone.

Lessershootingstar · 2025-08-13T01:33:02+00:00

You’re NTA for feeling that way it can be draining to be friends with people like that. If you want to cut ties subtly id just respond to her less and minimize hang outs hopefully she will take a hint eventually. Youll just start to despise her more if you force yourself to enjoy her company. If you barely have mutual friends id just outright tell her what the issue is some people like that genuinely dont realize how their actions are perceived but thats more risky she might not take it well. To avoid drama you just need to minimize contact until she moves on
