Food
I just would like to know if anyone else has struggled with when eating getting gross images that make you stop eating. Or is that just me 😭

Omg, yes! Idk if I had ocd in the past but I used to get disgusting images when eating meat and I would immediately kill my appetite. Now, I get them and I immediately have to spit it out and wipe off my tongue and use mouthwash to disinfect because I don't want that thought there, if that makes any sense. 😭
Yes! Omg I get this all the time. I've mostly learned to push through it but sometimes it stops me from eating. It's really disgusting images and it literally doesn't come into my head until I want to eat
@Studybug I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one 😭 I love eating too so this makes me sad lol. It’s refreshing to know I’m not alone
Does anyone else struggle with this? I get a sense of dread and then I feel like the need to find the answer. For me it’s about like sexual reproduction or like some other taboo topic. Especially anything reproductive related to children or pets. I feel so awful after researching. I don’t know if the compulsion is to research or to ruminate about my intentions after researching. I have a hard time understanding why this happens I’m assuming it a question of morality? Like “what does this say about me if I wondered this and looked into it?” Does anyone relate to this?
Recently, I’ve been struggling a ton with what I eat/put into my body? I’m a first year college student with a few different health issues (including IBS), and lately it’s been hard for me to find food on campus that doesn’t upset my stomach. I also have pretty severe emetophobia, and feel extremely anxious when I feel sick. The ironic thing is that being anxious makes me feel even worse, so I end up sticking myself in an impossible loophole. My OCD has taken hold of these fears over the past few months, and it’s been such a struggle. Especially since people have been getting food poisoning from various dining halls on my campus lately. My OCD has gotten so bad that sometimes I’m too afraid to eat food other than what I buy myself. I feel so trapped. I don’t want my OCD to affect my physical health or prevent me from eating, bc I love eating!! It’s the fear of getting sick that’s the problem. And it’s even harder when everything is so unfamiliar. Just wondering if anyone could relate. Advice is appreciated!
Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠
