I am going through the exact same situation right now. I also have food anxiety, not just about meat though, but meat is something that I am "afraid" of. I hate eating at BBQs or resturants because I don't get to cook my own food. But I also have anxiety about eating meat at home because I worry about it making me sick. Actually I worry about everything making me sick. I was diagnosed as anorexic, but as I am working on things it is becoming apparent that my not eating is based in anxiety and control. LIke, if I can control what I eat then at least I can control something. I also get nervous at the littlest tummy ache or wierd feeling, anything.
I am also just about to start my job search and I am really worried that my worrying is going to keep me from going through with it. I just started a summer job, that is kinda high stress and I almost didn't go to work the past few days because of my anxiety and fears of feeling sick at work. I am scared to death about my new job and about interviews.
I hate to keep rambling on, but it is so great to find someone that is going through somewhat of the same thing. If you want to talk sometime, like maybe through e-mail, that would be great. Kate
