@Some_Emo_Chick I'm really annoyed about this.

I'd delete #Instagram if I could, but I need it to view ever-changing menus at local cafes.

They don't post them anywhere else and I have suspected #ARFID.

So if I delete it, I'll just never be able to go to any local places.

#Threads #Meta

I have #Instagram solely because a bunch of independent cafes only put their online menus on Instagram and as someone who probably has #ARFID I really, really need that info.

I do NOT want to have any more accounts with #Meta than absolutely necessary.

New preprint: What do we know about psychological treatments for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)?

We conducted a systematic scoping review, focused on outcomes and measures. We found:
- Evidence is accumulating for behavioural, CBT and family-based treatment.
- Measures are heterogeneous and in need of further validation.
- Studies are typically of children.

I don't think any of the people I know from the climate movement understand just how much some of the rhetoric has destroyed my relationship with food.

I feel tremendous amounts of guilt while eating, regardless of my behaviour otherwise, because all food production is making the crisis worse, and thus the the world would be better off if I wasn't here.

I really hate having (suspected) #ARFID because it's very much atypical as EDs go due to being unrelated to body image. It leads to so many misunderstandings from people.

Like, I'm actively trying to *gain* weight and I want to do so... but I still struggle with it. And I want to exercise to increase my stamina but I *don't* want to lose weight which makes it difficult. There are so many atypical issues here.

Fellow #arfid sufferers: is being more excited for a newly returned safe food that is better for my own nutritional needs over a long standing that must be only a treat a good sign? (No debates about good/bad food, please.)

📢New Paper Alert

In the first twin study (n=34,000) of #ARFID published today in @JAMAPsych we show that ARFID is highly heritable (~79%). http://shorturl.at/cS459 @cbulik @SthlmMark @MicaliNadia @LarssonPsychEpi @Seb_Lun @CEDI_KI @karolinskainst #eatingdisorders

It sucks to be a picky eater in a vegan house. Actually it just sucks to be picky, the food alternatives in the house are really good, I just lack the discipline to keep trying grains and stuff. #arfid

#ARFID is a serious eating disorder that leads to #malnutrition and #nutritional #deficiencies. Researchers estimate that between one to five percent of the population is affected by the #eating #disorder.

Is there an #autism community here? Wife spells out her diagnosis with alphabets! Beige food = calm, no stress and sensory sensitivity! ❤️ her sense of humour! #arfid #AutismInWomen

@dyinglikeastar To expand on the possible sensory issues I relate to #ARFID for example, I have tomatoes and mozzarella with basil and balsamic, all things I love, but I don't want cold stuff in my mouth right now, but I also can't eat warm tomatoes.

Another example is thoroughly enjoying the taste of bananas, but it's difficult for me to eat them. Not sure why.

@dyinglikeastar Your toot is 1 of 2 referencing #ARFID. I am not diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure ARFID affects me or perhaps #OSFED. I attribute it mostly to my anxiety and other weird things like not wanting to eat with a large spoon instead of a small spoon, but also having a house full of good for me food that I love, but I would rather NOT eat it if I'm not "in the mood" for it. I suppose that's sensory. It's been like this for almost a year now and I really need to get a hold on it.

Ik ben op zoek naar iets/iemand die nu echt snapt wat autisme doet met problematiek rondom eten.

Rigide denken en/in/met een eetstoornis te maken heb is NIET hetzelfde als rigide denken/handelen vanuit autisme en een eetstoornis hebben.

Today’s #actuallyautistic moment - reheating pizza only to discover when it’s done you no longer want it. Yay #arfid 😫

This is what 99% of food looks like to me #arfid

Okay so, I am poor and I just want to point out how expensive it is to have arfid/sensory issues with food. I don't have the money to be buying dozens upon dozens of the only (stupidly specific, usually expensive) food thing that my brain will let me consume. Often I just go hungry because there is food in the house so I can't justify buying anything new, but I can't force myself to eat any of it either. #SafeFood #arfid

In the past year I've discovered ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder)
Fairly certain I have that.
