When i am starting to feel full of food, especially if i am eating with other people, ptsd memories start to come. My trauma isnt (at least directly) related with that situation.

Anyone has this?
Similar case?
Anyone can sympathise?
 
Omg I noticed that too. Has happened several times. I ate too much yesterday for example and had an emotional flashback on my way to the Y directly after. I started to have a panic attack but managed to ground myself before it all happened. My God this is all making so much sense. I'm so glad I joined this forum.
 
I absolutely despise feeling full. No idea where it came from, although there are several trauma possibilities, & this is a post-trauma thing, but I really, really hate it. Nope, doesn't trigger anything or I'd probably have a better idea where this particular irritation comes from. Upside, it meant that changing my diet to 5-6 small meals a day (what's recommended by nutritionists) instead of 3 huge ones, was an easy transition to make. At least it was, when I was eating regularly. These days I try really hard just to eat something every day. But when I'm doing well enough to be eating as I should? Half a sandwich = happiness, wherein the whole thing just makes me feel icky. I'll still eat the whole thing. Just half now, and half in a couple hours. Voila.
 
Yes I tend to get flashbacks and severe anxiety when I'm full too. I think it might have something to do with the body working to digest the food or something.
