I Have An Eating Disorder

My doctor just diagnosed me with ARFID. Any one else on here also have that? I haven't heard of it before.

Me neither
What is it mean?
@SW-User Basically it means I'm ridiculously picky eater to the point where it affects my ability to socialize and whatnot. At least that's how they explained it to me.

@Lyss23 do you splurge and purge? 😔🤗🤗
I've had many friends with eating disorders. 🤗
@Montanaman No, fortunately I avoided the big two eating disorders.

@Lyss23 okay. I'm glad that it's been diagnosed. This will take time to win this battle, but I know that you can do it.👍👍🤗🤗💕💕

@Lyss23 I think the difference behind afrid and anorexia is that when you look in the mirror you aren't trying to look thinner; your reason for not being able to eat is that you find most foods icky. My friend's niece has problem with the texture of most foods and she eats those koolaid type popsicles mostly. She has had a feeding tube for awhile now because of the disease. It is a very serious thing so now that you have your diagnosis I hope they are able to find a treatment program for you.
