Why is eating so difficult😭

[aceofspades]

I have such a hard time distinguishing between hunger and nausea, there’s so many times I think “should I eat a snack, or would doing so immediately cause me to throw up?” It’s so annoying.

You either get annoyed by the stomach aches, or don't notice the pain at all until you finish what you're doing and it hits you like a train...

I relate to this so much. I rarely find people who understand too, they all just think I'm purposely being difficult.

Definitely the vibes, so many times I'm like "ugh, why do humans have to eat so frequently, it's so much effort to remember to be hungry, and find something you feel like eating, and make the food, then eat the food, then clean up from the food."

I always feel so seen, heard, validated, and called out by these shorts- thank you for representing us neurodivergents so well Morgan <3

As an autistic person with emetophobia (extreme fear of throwing up and everything to do with it), it took me at least 15 years to stop panicking every time I was hungry, thinking I was sick.

"am i sick or hungry" is genuinely the most relatable thing ive ever heard :sob:

Me and my friends were talking about how we would love for humans to just photosynthesise, it would be so much easier and another bonus is that we would be green from the chlorophyll 😃

YAP the survival aspects of this whole IRL thing are a serious pain, don't know what the devs were thinking...lmao this is my morning every day

[imnotsuspiciousshh]

I relate too much. Occasionally I'll just skip meals if I don't feel like eating anything we have (not good, I know, but I keep myself fed enough to survive and that's all I can manage for the time being)

STOP BEING SO RELATABLE 😭
(i love you, dont stop being relatable)

[AprileB-tt]

Thank you and others for putting into words, what we autistics struggle with, but I just didn’t know how to articulate until now. And I’m still learning. ❤

This is why i have protein shakes for whenever i just want to get it over with. It energizes and keeps you full until you have the energy to make a meal.

"this is gonna take like half an hour" I HAVE ADHD AND THIS IS SO RELATABLE

[xavierdarche]

This is so relatable. I really like food, but it’s often so difficult. Both the problem of understanding if I’m hungry or sick and the struggle of finding energy to make some food are an almost daily struggle. And when it comes to food I sometimes completely forget to eat because I’m fixated on something else. I’ve even had a summer when I was younger and stayed home when my parents went on vacation. They didn’t make any food, I was hyperfocused on a topic for like 3 days straight before realizing that all I did was sleeping, working on the project and only a couple times getting something to drink. Hadn’t eaten a thing for like three days.

im not diagnosed, but i feel this on a deeper level. like, i literally set up alarms on food time because i can't differentiate between feeling hunger amd just feeling shitty overall. survival is such a complicated science, my goldfish braim could never

[vannessjen]

You make me feel acknowledged ❤ thank you

[deve]

i feel so so so felt when i watch your videoa. everytime I'm scrollinh sown my yt shorts and your videos come up, i get a smile on my face

[gabbismith]

variations of the peanut butter situation have brought me to tears more times than i can count. especially if someone eats my specific food i was looking forward to that i put in a separate storage space? it’s nearly impossible to convince myself to find something different to eat

When you wait too long to eat and you start to get nauseous from being hungry so now you are too nauseous to eat, so you have to wait until you are even more hungry so you are past the nausea stage
