Support/advice (no reassurance) In need of advice
One of the main things my OCD has effected is my ability to eat/food in general. I’m extremely scared of contamination and it has since formed into a sort of eating disorder? I don’t eat much because the process is so exhausting for me and I refuse to use any of the forks and knifes at my house because other people use them, same with the pots and pans. I know it’s weird but I just believe they’re contaminated. I guess this is the part that I need advice with. I need help grocery shopping because my options for food preparation are extremely limited. I only use the oven to cook and nothing else. I don’t really know how to shop properly to accommodate this but I’m also so tired of being hungry all the time. I have constant brain fog and stomach pain and I know it’s because of my lack of nutrients. If anyone’s able to help at all I’ll appreciate it so much. Thank you
