You seem to understand that this fear is is a bit irrational... that's good. Convince yourself to take a small bite of food. Wait a few minutes and notice that you're still okay. Now take 2 bites and wait again. Work up to having a whole meal even if it takes a few days of doing this exercise. Happy eating.

Answer 3

its just all in your head because you just passed through a hard time of sickness so u still feel that u r sick because you r not used to it anymore... dont worry i had this too .. but its just in the head dont think and try to ignore everything that bothers you... plus after a body is sick like your case you need time to get back to normal .... DONT WORRY
