Getting ready to phone bank for the Harris campaign! Thank you for the informative video, it’s helping people in 2024 🩷

It's weird because I'm persuaded the arfid switch was turned on when I was a kid, but now it's kinda gone? I mean it depends what I have to eat but it seems like I'm less sensitive, like really really less When I was 2 I had that thing where I could suddenly not tolerate eating things that I used to eat, like cooked ground beef or cooked meat in general And I kept that kinda disgust, but I don't remember how sensitive I was Then when I was 8 and my father started to make me anxious as hell because he thought I was anorexic and was putting pressure on me, and being anxious when I had to eat stuff that I didn't like made it even worse, and here it was really really arfid stereotype, at some point I was hungry as hell but I had no appetite, everything except ice cream was really making me struggle to eat, even food that I was supposed to like, I had to use water to help me swallowing really little bits of food, and the food I was not liking at all was awful, I've never felt any disgust like this At some point I was 21kg while I was almost 11, soooo... Yeah pretty much that can't not be arfid But how the hell did it stopped all of a sudden when my father stopped putting pressure of me, can arfid be triggered by that? Or maybe arfid can be more or less strong, and I still have it but it is a chill version, similar to what I started to feel when I was 2? Also I know my smell is pretty bad now, I didn't smell anything to the same intensity I used to smell for 4 years, and really recently I started to be able to smell things normally again, and it's true, even tho it happened only 3 days, I could feel much more disgusted by everything, everything was too tasty

Mine switched at 2. Started hating everything. I can't have mash potatoes. I can't stand cheese. Cauliflower, salmon mushrooms. Certain food smells make me feel physically sick. If I try I retch. My parents struggled to feed me as a child. I am in my 30s and have expanded a little extra things into my diet but don't think I can add anything else now. It is embarrassing in social situations

Which book will be best for the beginners?

I have ARFID too. My doctor always doesn't take me and my ARFID seriously either. Male doctors almost always gaslight woman. Mine doesn't understand my autism either.

I love your cat! I don't have arfid but I don't know if I would want to try that fruit with the goopy seeds either. Terrible looking texture.

What were you taught during your design school in the initial days? Were u taught every niche of graphic design?

So sorry you had to go through all that gaslighting. So awful.

This video is legendary thank you 🙏🙏🙏

google supports hate speech and dangerous acts while muting people who speak on these

I just found out I have ARFID, I basically self diagnosed myself because it’s really not that hard, most of the symptoms that are listed I have majority of it. I am scared of swallowing my food because I feel like I might choke on it. I also have a fear of trying new food because I had one bad experience in the past that I ended up having an allergic reaction. It started 2 years ago, I didn’t know there was a name for it, I just thought it was a phobia that I ended up having. I explained to my boyfriend’s mom about it and of course she didn’t understand and told me “ you will never recovered from it because you aren’t trying hard enough “ she literally told me that. I fucking laughed because wym I’m not trying hard enough? everyday I try to eat as much as I can. people who think like this seriously make me sick. the ignorance.

"Bro just drink the franken OJ" YOU DONT UNDERSTANDDD I WANT TO DIEEEEE

Dude. So fn real. One time I went to a supermarket with my family when on a vacation, and they didn't have anything I liked. We forgot to buy anything beforehand. So I literally didn't eat anything for like a and a half day until we found somewhere that sold gawd dang goldfish. And at the market I told the teller I was allergic to like everything they had. I said I had a apple allergy. AN APPLE ALLERGY. That trip haunts me till this day. And the "I'm not hungry." SO REAL! Like what else am I supposed to say? "Hello yes I am a freak and can only eat crackers yess heloo." I actually really want to just have a pill that gives me 2000 calories and move on :D

Can i ask what university you attended?

Thank you for this video! You helped guide me throughout the process of calling my House of Representatives to pass along my support of alleviating the financial burden of higher education 🤞🏽

Thank you so much for making this video! 7 years later and it’s still an effective and informative video. I’m using your prompt to call my reps about a ceasefire. Godspeed to you!

Thank you for sharing your story! It was very informative and I learned a lot that can help help people I love with this disorder!

Hey Morgan. Hope you have been alright. I am a 45 yrs adult with Arfid and I have only found out what I have a year ago and since then I have been trying to find a way to get better. Here in Australia we have a good arfid Facebook group and I found these two therapists that are specialised in arfid. They treat it more as a phobia to food than sensory disorder. It is a two session treatment that are psychology and hypnotherapy. I have my treatment this week and changed my life. I have tried more food this week than in decades of struggle. Under the risk of saying something you already know, I felt the pull to share with you. The treatment sessions are done over zoom. So my suggestion is for you to look into Felix Economakis and Glenn Robertson. May peace be with you. Kind regards

First world problems are the real disorder these days.

I relate. Thanks for sharing your story.

I have ARFID too, and it was always pretty mild growing up, until I started having health problems & food allergies. My experience with the allergies made me scared of food, my experience with the resulting digestive issues made me scared of eating in general... So I'm currently refeeding after realizing I had starvation syndrome. I don't really have many issues with taste or texture, I force myself to eat anything I don't think will hurt me- I just hate how eating feels, I hate how it can cause so much pain & discomfort to eat. I'm scared of developing food intolerances, sensitivities & allergic reactions, since for awhile I had some intense issues with that. But apparently, starving is actually the cause of at least some intolerances! Realizing this explained so much & I'm glad to be well enough to finally fix this. I wish doctors had done more to help me with this, I kept begging for help eating :/

“and so it was ironic because then i was allergic to apples” you needed an audience for that one cause it was GOOD😂😂 but seriously ty for this one! i know it’s been awhile to say the least probably, but hearing a POV like this has definitely helped. i would love to start a place hospitality wise for ARFID/ED-restrictive pallets :]

This is useful!

Oh and your drs are horrible jaded bullies. Who CARES what ORDER you start healing things. Asses. 😡

Amitriptylene/elavil is an outstanding aid to my whole appetite. Very safe, mild antidepressant from the pre-prozac days. Im 60, my mother was on it way back and it was incredibly healing to her, and for me keeps my weight extremely steady but moreover gives me an appetite! Drs can be HORRID. I promise you the respect will come when you’re a million years old like me but because of almost identical uncountable exact experiences past 40 years. Im SO sorry.

Your an inspiration for me who thought I was all alone I’m this so thank you for posting this

So I’m only at 1:44 and already you sound like me! However I made it to three years old before pretty much everything was off my list. Sadly though, the middle school I attended could only reach one conclusion; they labeled me as mentally handicapped. So this nurse (I’m sure was some type of psychiatrist) would meet with me to ask me what was wrong with me! Well, mom, who couldn’t drive, was so angry when I told about the ink spots on paper, and the spare blocks. I’m now 60. My in take consists of steak, hamburger, pizza, pasta, etc. The one thing I’ll eat that most others won’t is French’s mustard, and that’s because I have a muscle relaxer. I’ll be following, so we can compare notes. Thank you for your honesty

Morgan, you are so bright. I hope eventually you will have a change of heart.

Is there any resources in india to get these books second hand? Does anyone knows?

Wow you did amazingly, when i tried this i could only do one a day and i completely shut down. Went silent and couldn't comminicate how i felt

I don't know if you still monitor this post but I am just in awe of you and I thank you so much for posting this video. My son is 13, autistic and has ARFID. He has been in and out of "food therapy" since he was 3 and he sees a psych. I will let him know about your channel. I know that sometimes he feels really alone so maybe he will find your channel helpful. Best wishes to you and your family!

Thankyou for this.

A random stranger on the internet wishes you the best

Let me preface this by stating that I am in opposition to everything that you believe. As a literal omnivore who will quite happily eat everything that doesn't pose health risks, your condition is unimaginable to me and I have no capacity for sympathy. However, I do suffer from a rare condition of my own that nearly nobody else understands, and so I do have great empathy for you. I know that I'm half a decade late to respond, but I've read your updates and it's wonderful that you've found healthful solutions that are working for you. Ignore the boring old hypocrites that can't imagine your condition and do whatever ever it takes live a happy and healthy life

I've been looking a lot into ARFID recently because I think I might be someone with it and when this video popped up in my recommendations and I heard your experiences I not only felt anger for you but also incredibly sad because I've had my own experiences regarding food. I fortunately haven't had to deal with incompetent doctors (I'm glad you found someone who took you seriously and that you got the help you need) but I've had people scold me or laugh whenever I was brave enough to try new foods and even the "we'll sit here all night until you finish it" thing from my parents that pretty much became the foundation for me to stick with my safe foods. I don't want to self-diagnose, my experience isn't as severe as other stories I've heard, but I have had medical episodes because of my food intake (or, rather the lack thereof). If you or anyone else who might encounter this comment have any advice (I do plan to continue doing research and reaching out to a doctor of course) I'd love to hear it. Once again, I'm glad I found this video and to know you've got the help you need.

Chicken nugget people of the world unite

It may be anecdotal but people in third world countries don’t suffer from this illness.and is it a coincidence that most people that have this illness look alike?

Keep Up the great work !!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Both of my kids have ARFID. My son is 11, and he is ASD/ADHD, and most heavily affected by this disorder in terms of growth and nourishment (1st percentile, and falling into malnourishment). His sister, 9, is close to surpassing him in height and weight, and she is also pretty small for her age (30th percentile). I love how candid you are, you are able to describe what might be going through my son’s head so I can understand him better and get him better treatment. It has been suggested/threatened by his ARFID clinic that he will need to do inpatient care like what you did, and if he didn’t gain weight, they would put him on a feeding tube. I suspected that treatment in a facility would only make things worse, exactly how you described your experience. I’m not really sure what to do for him. I don’t try to force him to eat unless he hasn’t eaten a meal in several days and I notice his weight dropping. I HAVE to be forceful when he is so close to being hospitalized and he is getting sick from the lack of nutrients and calories. We have also been struggling with eating school lunch because the menu will change to “healthier” options for the general public, or they won’t allow sweets or allergens in the school. He used to only eat milky way bars, and they barred us from bringing those in because it wasn’t “real food.” It has been really hard. I have to make 3 separate meals for every single meal because my kids have no similar foods they are willing to eat, and height one will eat what my husband and I eat, and we can’t eat what they eat. Honestly, even hearing that with all the help and support you have had that you still struggle is helpful for me, because I can come to terms with this just being reality for many kids. They aren’t going to change or be forced to change, they just have to find ways to survive. It is not my fault and there isn’t really much any of us can do. I can relax a little…I was always thinking I wasn’t doing enough, or I was doing everything wrong. Maybe I just have to admit to myself that they need to be informed, but in control. Anyway, thank you for sharing. My kids don’t see anyone else on UA-cam similar in age or diagnosis with ARFID, and they feel really alone. I’m tired of hearing adults and clinicians talk about it, I want to hear from real kids and young people so I can learn better. I just want to understand them and support them the best way I can. I don’t want them to get sick. I hope you are well, and I hope you keep us updated over time.

Thank you so much for making this video. You're a guiding light in this graphic design ocean I'm swimming in.

Im stuck in this body that win’s eat anything, and no one knows anything about it!

I always doubt that i struggle with food, and then im like oh i spat meat in the toilet and sat at the table in tears for hours when i was a kid not being able to leave until I ate everything, abd i can't eat anything in the canteen st school apart from banna corner yogarts

I would like to punch the person that recommended broccoli and kale , literally the worst vegetables

Thats so stupid im so sorry, , anemia is very easily dyagnosible and very easily treatable? ,,

Have you figured out what morgan was allergic to ?

Raspberries are a fruit that I can do , not the squishy ones

I love how I grew up watching this and we both ended up trans. And I don’t even know you I just know your content. Thanks for making my childhood more bearable

I used to read that series as a kid lmao

Its funny how you dont like your body, have all these identity issues and coincidentally, you have a horrendously unhealthy diet. You are really a case study for how not to handle parenting in the 21st century.
