When can I get to my normal eating habits...

Recommended Posts

I am 16, I am so tired of being paranoid about getting constipated, and getting more anxious, about the food I eat, I get bloated after EVERY meal I eat, it's annoying, it makes me feel limited, I seem to always get a little bit constipated, it's driving me nuts, I hate it,  and I am currently tapering off 50mg trazodone, I just want to eat like every 16 year old, you know,  no care about eating sweets, soda and chips. I am just so paranoid about eating that stuff because I dont want to be constipated or feel stomach sick or get more anxious. I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO MY NORMAL EATING HABITS. I can't do this anymore, it's driving me into depression, and I just want to eat like I used to...

Hey...

I know how you fell! I just to be anorexic, but i got over that with my own willpower! Just try eating, do it while there is someone next to you, because i can tell by experienc ,that it will make you fell safer!!! Or if you still fell afraid, try eating sweats whit out gluteen, and then move to back to normal sweets! Trust me , it actually works!!! I am 16 as well and i know how it is , because i hade problems with my stomach ... I hope that you will feel better soon , and good luck!!! 

Sorry about my english, its not my native language!!!!

A few thoughts. One, anxiety messes with your digestive system. A lot. So the more you focus on it, the more issues like these are bound to persist.

Same goes with "wanting to eat normally." You can't just push your way thru things (trust me I've tried a lot in the past!). You need to find ways to calm yourself and allow things to just be. As you gain confidence your appetite can and will come back.

Eh... not quite sure why you think that slight constipation is limiting.  Most people with panic/anxiety that i know are the polar opposite... anxiety triggered IBS where you're constantly running to the shitter to relieve yourself.  THAT is limiting.
