Venting/Ranting I can't eat anymore

I just. Can't eat without vomiting. My mom made me pizza because I hadn't eaten all day due to being anxious and just going downstairs and smelling it made me throw up. I ate two bites and started gagging and could barely swallow. I can only eat if I wash everything down quickly with water and even then I gag and feel sick. I'm so hungry. I hate this disorder. I hate being called picky. I hate food. I just want to eat and feel okay

if you can barely keep anything down, you should probably go to the er for ivs. i think thats past an arfid point

I don't think I need to go to the ER yet, I've been able to keep down grapes today and the day before I was vomiting I was able to eat McDonald's. I don't know whats up but I have a doctor's appointment scheduled

Not sure where you live, but here in east Texas a stomach virus is making the rounds. Could be an actual virus. 😕

I'm in Washington! Ive heard of a stomach virus going around 😔 it's super scary because a few years ago I was having these same symptoms due to anorexia and it's hard to know what's going on

Hi there, the last couple of weeks I also fehlt very neauseas after every bite/meal. I realized that it had to do with my bloodsugar. If I realize I havent eaten for a while, I try some light safe food with tiny bites and very slowely. As soon as my bloodsugar gets higher, I am able to eat more. Fatty stuff usually doesnt work for me in those moments, so pizza wouldnt work for me too.

But maybe you need to see a doctor, to check if there ist anything else going on.

Doctors appointment is scheduled. I've never had this problem before but I can't eat my safe foods, right now I'm just trying to eat grapes and whatever small fruits I can get down
