food aversion
sofiacarsonfan27 September 27th

(let’s make a codename for ‘food’ just for this because i don’t like saying it so food = turtles)

does anyone else have food aversion? it seems to be really overlooked. it’s where people don’t like talking about turtles (it took a lot for me to send this) or seeing people with it or being in the same room as turtles. it makes us feel anxious and very uncomfortable and we might avoid eating turtles, feel upset seeing others eat or not want to be around turtles at all and it's not necessarily about body image, but more about the discomfort turtles cause. trying to spread awareness as it is generally overlooked because it’s not the most common ed!! 💜

It sounds like this is distressing for you, not just uncomfortable.  I'm glad you posted.   How long have you been struggling with this?  Do you have any supportive people you can share with when it's really tough for you?

I've found that having a support network can really be helpful, but it requires having those that are trustworthy and understanding.

i used to have anorexia which i got into therapy from like 2 years ago which i guess is contributing to why i don’t like thinking about it now because i absolutely hated it so if i told my parents they would put me back in therapy, some if my friends know tho
