Disgusting Food

My mom cooked some meat without me knowing and as soon as I saw it, my automatic response was turning around and gagging.


I don't think my family know about my necrophobia. I can't look at or eat meat. It's too disturbing for me.

i am beginning to wonder if there is a phobia you aren't familiar with. i'm a multilingual etymologist and your phobia list manages to get me scrambling for my dictionary on a routine basis.

not to invalidate your pain. irrational fears (phobias) are hard to live with.

I dont necessarily think you have Necrophobia. There is much more involved with that particular phobia than just not liking the site of the meat your mom cooked for dinner. Typically it also involves obsessions with death and all things related to death including objects that symbolize death. I think maybe you just don't like eating meat.

I notice you self diagnosis yourself a lot. Its best to keep that up to a licensed mental health professional. Self diagnosing can lead to receiving medical treatment you don't need and can also be seen as you suffering from Munchausen Syndrome. Please be careful.

Well, it's because I'm homeschooled. ; )
I love to use big words and whenever I want to find the fancy word for something I have I look it up.

I even surprise myself sometimes.

I also have a big fear of other dead things. I wrote something is the Depression group that will get more into detail.

The whole reason you need to go to school, Too much time on your hands to sit and dream up new illnesses and obsess on the ones you might have. You really aren’t helping yourself at all, This is not how to approach recovery. If that’s what you really want. I see you more as a lonely young girl with nothing to challenge yourself with. No friends, no real purpose to fill your days with. Nothing to challenge your anxiety, no goals to achieve, but endless time to spend “researching” to fill the void. School is hard for lots of kids at first, but gradually they adjust. Your patents are doing you a disservice by letting you “run away” from your fear instead of helping you learn to face it. Your life is far from over. If you choose to run away from everything you don’t like, your life is going to be a lonely void of nothing. Just you and your many illnesses to keep you company. Best get ready for it now, cause it won’t get any better the way you are going right now.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
