I have trouble eating food that I have prepared. I have trouble eating anything that isn't individually wrapped. Anything that has been in the fridge for more than three days, I worry about it being contaminated.
There is food in my fridge. There is food in the cupboard. But I can't eat it. I can't make myself prepare it, and even then, I don't know if I could eat it.
I know this is an anxiety issue, and possibly even OCD, and it's driving me nuts. I get one good meal a day, five days a week, via lunch at the school where I work, but otherwise, I don't eat much besides cheese sticks and granola bars. I'm tired of a full fridge of food that I already know I am going to throw away.
Does anyone else have similar problems, or ideas to help?
I've tried using meal kits and frozen meals, but it's like I have this mental block.
I'm exhausted, and I know that is at least in part because I'm not eating enough. But I don't have enough energy to do anything about it...
Already on anxiety meds and in counseling.
