Personally I find that I become so scared to try something new it actually makes me sick even though there is nothing in it to act a trigger. Hence an all night panic attack once because there was a tiny bit of cocoa powder in something!!

I've kind of wondered if that's part of my problem, because it seems like a lot of things I've been able to eat for years are suddenly "bothering" me - soy products, egg whites, things that don't make ANY sense, or that are in such tiny amounts in my recipes that they honestly shouldn't make that much of an immediate difference. Hmm.

I guess I'm feeling a little better today. I forced myself to eat yesterday, and I lived to tell the tale. I've definitely found that, until I get the anxiety under control, my eating habits have changed - I can't eat sitting at the table, I either have to be watching TV or on the computer, and immediately after I'm done, I have to get up and clean up, so I'm not sitting there thinking about how I feel and getting paranoid about it. Whatever works, I suppose, right?

I can't eat bananas because they give me wicked heartburn/indigestion. It doesn't matter how ripe or unripe I eat them, I end up burping banana for several days. Blech.

Anyway, thank you for the support and encouragement. I think I'm feeling a little better today. I'm hopeful about the therapy, and at least I don't have to wait too long for that appointment.
