Ptsd Memories When Full Of Food?

[anonymous]

Afraid I can't say more as it's too difficult for me but it is related to sexual trauma for me and was one of the things that caused my eating disorder. I also have general stuff around food because of dysfunctional family stuff about food. Food can be related to self nurturing control and other concepts. But the direct triggers are about the other stuff for me.

I absolutely despise feeling full. No idea where it came from, although there are several trauma...

I eat like that too. Most of the time.

Absolutely - eating disorders and food-related responses (smells/textures/etc) are very common on those who have experienced trauma whether food was present or not.

Yep.

Know the triggers, though.

Just prefer to not think of it. The moment I start thinking of food, is the moment I stop being able to eat even given the limited non-yucky things my body handles.

Not a road I am taking, happier focusing on just having eaten, no feelings in it whatsoever.

Feeling something about it when I done risking starving to death. Praise for eating at all, any and all times I manage, now.
