Hi my name is Jade and I'm 23 years old, I have been suffering from SED ever since I can remember but only recently found that there is others like me. Throughout my life I have always had issues with new food it got so bad my parents would try all they could to help but it was impossible it resulted into them feeding me what I liked just to make sure I was eating something, I've grown up avoiding social situations involving food and any conversations that arose I would leave the room to ensure no one would ask me any questions that would trigger a conversation around my eating habits. I have always felt so embarrassed and ashamed of myself for this. after years of breaking down to doctors for some help I went to therapy this was not the correct answer they didn't even know what was wrong and kept relating this back to anxiety which I knew wasn't the case, I eventually got hypnotherapy whilst this is a physiological solution it was felt like the last resort i just wanted to feel normal and even if that meant being brainwashed! I haven't done as well as I thought I would immediately going to but it's all about hard work. I still need help on my next steps I don't know what to try first in order to restore my taste buds after being told they are currently at the age of an 8 year olds, has anyone else been through this that can help me make these next steps? This is deteriating both my health and my relationship and I have put others through this which isn't fair and I just want to change please if ther is anything anyone can advise all help will be appreciated another issue is I can't cook because I have never need to this makes things a lot harder!
