Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Well, I had major issues with food. It's the texture that gets to me. Turns out.. it was from anxiety. It was causing a kind of anxiety attack. Certain foods just set it off. I would get one bite in and that's it I was done. Forcing myself would make me puke. Now that I'm on a med that has reduced my anxiety I can eat again. And I can eat foods I thought I didn't even like!

Maybe explore your reactions to the food? It could be anxiety... just a thought.

I appreciate all of the responses and I'm wondering if anxiety could be part of it like bec stated. Also, medications do cause problems, and in part I think it could be the canker sores. Maybe just a combination of all of these things?

Thresh mouth was a virus from putting my mouth on a drinking fountain. It was very painful. This could have caused the eating problem because I didn't have anorexia when a child and I was on no medications but very picky and couldn't find taste in food. But now that I'm older I wouldn't be surprised if the combination of the 3 relate to my inability to find food to taste good at this point in time.

This has happened in the past too, so I doubt the canker sores numbed my taste buds completely because I can enjoy food at times, but it comes and goes in phases.

The whole thing is very strange! I will strike it up to a mystery I guess.

Thanks everyone
Tammy

Good Grief, I just woke up with a fever blister on my bottom lip this morning. I am sick of these viral things that doctors can not cure. *VENTING*
