Hello all! I wanted to come on here and see if anyone has any similar issues or helpful tips for a particular anxiety problem. I have had OCD since I can remember and struggle in situations that I cannot control. I’ve been able to overcome a lot of my struggles with medication and ERP, but I have one particular issue that I feel is honestly getting worse, and that is food anxiety. I’ve always just shrugged it off as picky eating, but realized recently that isn’t the case. Texture can play a big role, but also control as to who has prepared my food. I have gotten to a point where I am comfortable eating certain foods I never would have dreamed of eating as a picky eater (tomatoes, shallots, etc) because I am the one cooking the food. But now I feel like it has worsened the issue with eating food that someone else has prepared, even that friends and family have prepared, not just at restaurants. I find myself picking through everything I “eat” because I can’t trust what someone has made for me. I know to an extent I have always done this, but now it just feels worse and more limiting because if I had cooked that particular thing, exactly the same way, I know I would have been fine eating it. But if someone else cooks it, I am anxious the whole time and pick it apart. I don’t think it is going to poison me or anything, I just feel like I can’t mentally prepare for a texture I’m not ready for. If I cook it, I know what every little element is. For example, I know I’ve perfectly minced everything to a manageable size that won’t bother me. I just want to be able to relax and enjoy the meals that my friends prepare without having to ask ultra-specific questions or make weird requests. Anyone deal with a similar problem/have tips for managing?
