    A month or so ago all I wanted to eat was mangoes, then the adhd goblin told me that mangoes are too hard and I moved on to microwave hamburgers.

    When I suddenly fixate on a food, the shelf is not restocked, and even 2 or 3 days later, I can’t buy it again.

    Feel like “Truman Show”, as if the store and other shoppers are just some illusion for me and they can only restock in great numbers what I usually buy.

    Edit: Can’t believe it’s happening to so many others here!

      Sometimes I feel like I’m personally responsible for a store’s ordering system going haywire. Like, a store can stock like 1 or 2 of the item a month and be fine , then I become fixated on it and they need to start stocking 20+. By the time the store catches up with me ive moved on and they are stuck with dozens of that item.

      I once got a fixation with a certain spicy hummus. I emailed the grocery store to ask them to stock more of it because I was constantly buying all of it.

      The head manager emailed me back saying they would, and they would order a larger quantity just for me.

      I stopped eating that hummus 3 weeks later. I was so ashamed that I never went there again.

      Only until the obsession ends. Then back in the underweight hell I go until I find the next taste, texture or whatever I’m obsessed with.

      I hate the days I’m left alone with the decision what to eat…
