When I was 8 years old and going thru anxiety I honestly thought I could not swallow, with this I could only take down soup, mashed potatoes, and milkshakes! This when on for a year. I ended up getting pnemonia and was hospitalized. All the medications they gave me, had to be crushed up into pudding, plus they started an I.V. to get me proper nutrion, it was horrible. I dont remember the day I started eating solid food just like I dont remember the day the anxiety finally left. All I know now is, I am 25 my anxiety has been back for three years and I do go thru the stages where I have so much anxiety I can't eat, but its not to the point where I dont think I can swallow! Its strange how this affects everyone differently, yet we have so much in common!
Yes. We are different but also the same. I had big issues with eating also. When my nerves got too bad I lost my appetite and food was repulsive. My eating has been very consistent since going thru the progrm. Hard to believe your thoughts can cause all that!
