I am overwhelmed with emotions in finding this website. I am 20 years old and have suffered from picky eating my entire life. I hate going on family vacations, Thanksgiving is a nightmare, and dates are almost impossible. It's so nice to see that I'm not the only one!

Many of us in the group refer to Thanksgiving as Black Thursday. Not many happy memories for me on that holiday especially when I was a teenager. Welcome you have stumbled onto thousands of people all over the world who suffer as you do. Researchers at Duke University hospital have given it a name. ARFID. Still as bad as it may seem there are so many other things a person can have that are way worse. Probably should clue in your parents and loved ones that it is a real disorder that you never asked to have. I'm 72 and overall I have had a really great life.
