I've had panic for 12 years now and just the last 6 months or so I have suddenly developed this fear of eating also! It's like I know I have to eat to live so I make myself eat fruit or vegetables or something, which is usually ok for me to do. But, if I'm sitting down to eat a meal, I start getting anxious about how what I'm eating is going to affect my heart, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. I don't have any of these problems and I know I'm being irrational, but every time I go to eat something, I think, how is this going to affect me today, tomorrow or years from now?
I've never had this problem with eating and I am trying to get over it. Sometimes it's easier than others, but it still gets to me. Oiy!
