tw: Eating disorder

Hi everyone

i suffer from an eating disorder and im getting better at managing my emotions and thoughts around food but im having a major challange and wonder if anyone else could provide some advice.

i have to have alot of medical procedures which usually involves requiring support workers here and there and often overnight for some things.

2 things i really struggle with is

1- discussion around food/drink in any form that includes just being asked what i feel like to eat or what my likes/dislikes are

2- eating in front of people in most respects

Im just wondering if there are some suggestions on ways to approach this with support workers when im required to have some care and they ask what i feel like for dinner etc? i find the whole topic incredibly uncomfortable but im not to sure how to approach it because even the thought of mentioning to them that i have an eating disorder or talking about meals is quite hard and triggering for me.

would anyone be able to provide some advice on how i might communicate my needs without being triggerred all the time?

i am working on this with a psychologist but my current one is away at the moment and i wont have a chance to communicate before my next procedure that ill need support with which will mention food, cooking etc
