like I genuinely feel that certain foods and textures cause me insane panic but I also have distorted body image and intentionally starve to lose weight so? where does that put me, lol

does anyone feel like ARFID overlaps with anorexia for them?

Part of me is also quite worried that my anorexia will be found out and nobody will believe my ARFID because they’ll assume it’s a cover or something for my anorexia

Yes absolutely.
I have no idea what came first...
Anorexia made me restrict so much- I am now pretty much scared of everything expect for like 5 safe foods.
Even the texture of apples puts me off nowadays...
But my mom told me that I went through weeks of only drinking juice and rejecting any type of food when I was a child (like 5 years old)
... It's so confusing

To a certain extent, I've had ARFID for as long as I can remember but only developed anorexia in high school and now relapse every couple of years. I've found they both certainly feed into one another.

I had similar phases as a child, only accepting fries and processed foods.
Certain food groups trigger my gag reflex, and have for a long time. It was not until middle school I actively lost weight.

oh yeah, it massively crosses over for me. most of the foods i can't stand are extremely fattening and just generally nasty, but unfortunately it crosses over into some fruits and vegtables (bananas and onions make me gag)

Definitely. I had what would have been considered ARFID as a child and it's definitely intertwined with my current ED presentation of anorexia.
