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.
