I had an obsession with contaminated chicken for a while and also fat on meat. It was felt uncooked and I wouldn’t eat it. I realized it was ridiculous and people called me out for it. I’m not a picky person but my fear got in the way on my rationality and I could not think straight. What I did was forced myself to eat it and awknowledged it was all in my head. I’m now able to eat chicken, wings, steaks (fat), and raw fish

Prawns because they’re repulsive.

I also can’t eat foods that are ‘unhealthy’ like bread and chocolate without needing to throw up.

I also can’t drink red bull because I have a fear that it’s poisoning me :/

Yes! For over a year I couldn’t eat anything that I thought had some form of alcohol in it - I was convinced when I consumed alcohol I felt pain and that meant that a certain disease I had years ago was coming back (it’s a rare symptom of it) so anyway I had an aversion to alcohol because of it, but then I started convincing myself almost everything had some form of alcohol in it .. vinegar, sweeteners, natural sugar alcohols .. got to the point where I stopped eating produce unless it was super fresh because I was afraid of consuming something that started fermenting. It was so bad it affected everything (social life cause I couldn’t go out to eat, my relationship) ERP helped me IMMENSELY and I now not only eat whatever I want to but occasionally have a few drinks!

Meat, dairy, eggs. In my mind they’re a a source of contamination. I’ll avoid eating certain produce too if I feel like they’re too difficult to clean.

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 🫠

I have an ocd over food. I can not feel full if i don't have the last grains of rice and I should count. Before, I got a real bad stomach ache and nausea so I should eat on track. But one of my weirdness appears as time goes on that thing I mentioned and how I have to wait until certain time to swallow and digest the food. It's as if I keep myself for not reccuring anymore. It's so strange, if I don't follow it I would get sleepy and can not concentrate. It's like time really matters to me. And my head becomes weird if I don't listen to it. I wanna fight it but I think I can't. There are times even when I got staggered and wanna fall. Anyone here fighting over food ocd and signals in your head?

I have had such a long struggle with OCD and I have doing good for a long time but it is really coming in full force right now. I’m losing weight because I’m having a really hard time eating. I ate yesterday and then my stomach was hurting. I just convince myself that everything is contaminated or now that I’m not eating much that it’s gonna make me sick because my body isn’t used to it. Idk I’m struggling so bad. I’ve had some snacks here and there but it’s so hard for me to eat right now and It’s making me sad because I was doing so good for a long time. I also keep forgetting to take my meds and I know that’s part of it.
