Visible Food
Anyone else have this problem? I have to have a constant eye on my food (Like- I can't eat in the dark) because I'll convince myself bugs are crawling in my food as I'm not looking 😣

I have fears around food but a little different. I can worry that my food has been drugged! I will pick apart my food and check for signs of it being drugged. If I look away from what I'm eating or step away, I'm scared someone tampered with it! I'm sorry you are struggling with feeling like you have to monitor your food like this. I know it's so scary to think it has been tainted or tampered with either through bugs, drugs, or anything else! ERP has helped me so much with this and it's a lot better now. I can eat my food in peace and not have to do compulsions like monitoring and keeping an eye on food.
This is to interject a little humor into this . I really do have to keep an eye 👁️ on my food or my cat 🐱 will find a way to help herself, especially if it is something she likes , 😆 LOL !
yes!! i struggle with this, cat hair too 😖 i have to pick my food apart anywhere i go because of it
@steph423 i also pick my chicken apart because i’ve convinced myself it will be raw and have little worms 😖
@steph423 yess.. I have to examine my food with a flashlight sometimes to make sure 😭
@Ysab0405 YUUUP SAME 😭
OCD can really work against you. Have you had this fear for a long time?
At least for 7 years 😒
That definitely sounds like a scary thought to be having! OCD can play some awful tricks sometimes. Have you considered seeking ERP treatment to work on any of these thought? It can seem scary at first, but can come with a lot of relief long term for you!
