need advice for rare eating disorder

ever since i was young i have been extremely picky, and over the years
its gotten progressively worse to the point where all food groses me
out.

it is really causing alot of trouble in my life, im starting
to get very concerned about my health... it makes social situations
extremely awkward because most of that is all centered around food

the
most frustrating thing about all of this is that its hard to find
people with similar problems..at first i felt like i was experiencing
symptoms of anorexia...but i am very unhappy with my slim figure and
wish that i could gain weight...i take suppliments to try and help, but
it doesent seem to be doign much because my eating habbits are still
very poor.

has anyone else had this kind of experience...where you just dont like food and it all grosses you out?

I can't say I have had experience of this personally, but I do know that things like that are a lot more common than people may think. Is it a particular type of food or all foods? I think everyone has issues with certain food types or textures, colours etc but some people can't cope with it at all. Have you thought about seeing a doctor for this? I'm sure your doctor has come across lots of cases like this in the past and could recommend you to a psychologist who specialises in this area. They will help you get to the route cause of your fear/phobia and help you to overcome it. Also your doctor will be able to monitor your health and advise or prescribe any supplements or vitamins which may be of some help.

Definitely agree with Lorna.

Im sort of like that. If i dont like the look or smell of food, i cant eat it. Ive gone my whole life not trying certain foods or sauces etc. Ive never had a pizza, spag bol, certain meat and even veg just because the thought of eating them repulses me. I use to work at a Costa Coffee, had to leave because i couldnt clear up peoples food, it use to make me so anxious. I gag when i see left over food on plates, it makes me feel sick.

Im sure there are alot of therapies out there for you to try if you go see your Dr.
