How do you guys handle eating and appetite around other people?

Howdy folks, I started recovery in January and my body went into EH/full recovery mode at the beginning of March. I've been trying to get out and do things out in public and social things recently, but I've ran into a barrier: I've always been anxious about eating around others, but I've noticed when I do things around other people, my appetite and hunger cues are nulled and I end up not eating or undereating out of anxiety while I'm around them. I will note I'm autistic and have anxiety and OCD, so I'm sure those play a role in making me feel physically uneasy, esepcially my stomach, when I'm in these scenerios. It was fine for the handful of days in happened in isolation, but this past week I've been busy and it happened several times, and I guess it caught up to me and I felt horribly ill yesterday with terrible brain fog, having to take a nap from fatigue for the first time since starting recovery, and going to bed super early and sleeping in much later than normal and I'm still not back all the way today. How do I get better about being able to go out and eat so I don't make myself sick again after? Has anyone else run into anything like this?
