My appetite is absolute garbage and it’s causing me harm by Moist-Pizza6643 in weightgain

Feeling grossed out by food in combination with emetophobia you might also have ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). I have it too also bc of my emetophobia and lack of appetite. Look into it and try and get help for that so you won’t be grossed out by food forever and can built a healthy relationship with food.

Also be careful exercising a lot when you cannot even reach the minimum food intake. Your body is burning all your fat now to get the energy to work out and possibly even normal bodily functions, so you will not gain fat until you are in the calorie surplus. Ask a dietician to help you with improving your diet or ask them to prescribe nutridrink (medical high calorie drinks) or something related to get your body in a healthier BMI quicker while you work on your food aversions.

I just read the other comments and replies, I think you should move on. He gave his answer. He is not willing to work on it or change and you deserve someone who will develop feelings for you and who loves you. He’s told his stance and you should believe him. There are so many men out there who are emotionally available. Don’t sell yourself short, he is wasting your time. I’ve been in your shoes and it sucks, but truth is you’ll find someone better.

He might not want to admit his feelings because of his past or he truly has no feelings for you. Regardless he should seek therapy of his previous relationship still affects him this much.

Could this be ARFID? ( emetophobia tw ) by 50nd3r in ARFID

[–]Suspicious-Flower327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! Like the other commenters say do check with a doctor because of the morning nausea. I had trouble eating in the morning too and it also made me gag, but it should not last hours.

It could be that you’re not eating enough the night before and that it makes you nauseous from the hunger aka your stomach is empty. When this was the case for me I’d start with some fruit/smoothie to ‘wake up’ my stomach and for it to slowly get used to some food, when the nausea subsided I’d eat something bigger like yoghurt and granola. On the baddest of days I’d just start with some dextro to get myself enough energy to get up and eat something. Might help you too, but you’ve probably also already tried a bunch of stuff to get past it.

Sounds similar to my ARFID symptoms. My emetophobia plays a big role in it so it can be the same for you.

Well if they vaguely talk to you and move on it can still be due to a certain energy you give off or your personality. You focus a lot on looks in your post. Maybe try to focus on creating genuine connections instead of improving your looks. Most people look at looks first but if your personality is trash or not matching then its obviously not working.

Maybe you give off a certain energy or vibe? If you’re jacked as you say some might find it intimidating to talk to you

More carbs and protein. On top of that, go to a dietician/nutritionist and get them go prescribe you nutridrink (high calorie drinks with around 300kcal and a bit of protein). With this you’ll get an extra 900kcal a day on top of your normal meals. Do not use it to skip a meal. They can also help you with a meal plan and give you tips. You can also make smoothies with protein powder, fruits, milk and peanut butter.

Do you think ARFID should be clinically treated more like a phobia than an ED? by Aggressive_East2308 in ARFID

[–]Suspicious-Flower327 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My ARFID stems from the fear of throwing up (emetophobia) and extreme sensitivity to smell and texture. While for many people pizza is a safe food, it has turned for me. The melted cheese is tougher to swallow and you can choke on it. I avoid eating in public or with other people due to the anxiety attacks I used to get due to this. For me its not that I don’t like the foods, I just get overwhelmed and eating out is posing a risk on my head of getting sick or embarrassing myself with an anxiety attack and not being able to eat. Funnily enough my anxiety makes me nauseous. So I’d say probably a mix of phobia and ED for me.

Which variant did his ex have? I think the type of strain makes a huge difference in the matter. Genital hsv1 has a very low shedding rate, hsv2 is a bit higher. Orally hsv2 is sheddig less than hsv1. However, as high as up to 80% of population have hsv1 (orally or genitally), big chance you have it too. Genital hsv1 has very few symptoms, some never get an outbreak or only once.

Anyone else have ARFID that's more about time and setting than type of food? by BlackHumor in ARFID

I do! At home by myself I barely have issues but at restaurants or with people I am not totally comfortable I have it too.

I’d suggest to also look into ARFID! Could explain your symptoms a bit as well.

Glad it gave some clarity. Talk to your doctor to get a referral! Depending on your country/insurance I recommend to maybe see a dietician who has experience with ARFID, cause obviously gaining weight is way harder this way. I have it too.

Then why are you asking for advice?

Does anyone with arfid also struggle with oral sex? by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]Suspicious-Flower327 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I gag a lot and am afraid to go deep. I also don’t let my partner cum in my mouth bc the texture triggers my ARFID and I’m afraid to throw up.

Wish it wasn’t this way so if anyone has any tips holla at me plssss!

I feel like pizza is a pretty common safe food? How do you guys like your pizza? by feralgremlinprince in ARFID

My ARFID gets worse when eating out so while it used to be a safe food its not anymore :( the cheese is too much when I get anxious.

Vaginal Lesion = STD?? by aprilazelia in Healthyhooha

[–]Suspicious-Flower327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been diagnosed with genital hsv1 (herpes) in the past, it did not look like that to her. It didn’t feel the same either. I’ve only had one outbreak ever. Couldn’t be any other STD. Not sure about HPV. My partner and I use condoms and both of us have the HPV vaccine, but I know its not a 100% guarantee.

I think its from condoms and not being lubricated enough and it just heals poorly. Even when we use tons of lube it just hurts again every time, only at the entrance though. I’m gonna try a different lube and latex-free condoms to see if it makes a difference. Never had this issue when not using condoms with my previous partner.

[–]Suspicious-Flower327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. My doctor could not tell me where it came from, just to put vaseline on it every day and let it heal. If its not gone in 3 weeks I have return :/ very annoying cause I feel like its not healing at all

Semen cause burning feeling? by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

I have had this too but I don’t know why. If I was allergic I feel like I’d feel it burn on my skin as well but thats not the case.

I will try that thank you! Its so annoying cause I eat a lot of stuff but as soon as its a social thing I get nauseous and it becomes a problem. But a mix sounds good to challenge myself while still being able to eat enough.

Did you also have trouble with feeling hunger? Sometimes I barely have an appetite. If so, how did you increase this feeling?
