Thanks for your help.
u may have a eating disorder or habitual dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). This is a very complex and specialised area, there is no way I can advise as it is so dangerous

this one suggests a therapy and what foods to eat to gain water so u can reduce your direct water drinking
Hi thanks for replying.
I was in hospital over night and by the morning I was given penicillin and sent home, I think because of how busy it was with covid.
It's very possible that I do have an eating disorder, I guess this is something I should talk to my doctor about yes? I don't mind contacting my doctor she's a nice woman but every time I do I end up back at the hospital and my anxiety can't stand it. But yeah definitely struggling with swallowing it's a nightmare.
Nice to meet you by the way.
Hello, when I’m feeling anxious and tired/down, it makes me not feel like eating or drinking, I have autism and I manage an eating disorders, I’ve been doing Ok recently, but I have been in your position, on IV fluids etc, it’s scary being in hospital, so I just tell myself I have to eat/drink no matter how I feel otherwise, I’ll end up back in .
hope you start to feel better very soon
I'm really sorry you were in a similar situation. I hated being in hospital. Everything triggered me, it was so loud, the smell of the hospital itself, never want to go back.
I'll try telling myself about going back and hopefully this will help. Hope your well now:)
