I’m afraid of fruits. I get an intense physical reaction if I even see them, and avoid places they are (produce aisle or cafeteria). It is a mixture of fear, disgust, hatred, angst, and feeling nauseas. It repulses me to see someone peel, cut, or eat fruit so I have to immediately remove myself from the situation. The smell of ripe fruit is horrid, like bananas when you can smell that infusing through other areas of the store. Fruit flavor candies, gum, etc are also no’s. Being afraid of fruits has become problematic over the long term because I haven’t gotten the same vitamin/nutrients as others who actually consume produce (those who don’t fear fruits). Even knowing that I cannot change my fear or my behavior
