When you imagine a dirty toilet, just imagine that all the filth disappears magically and you have a squeaky-clean toilet like you always see in the toilet cleaner commercials. And then replace the image with nicer ones.

Could be a variety of obsessive compulsive disorder. Get some counseling. It'll help. In the meantime, train your brain, force yourself NOT to think of the dirty toilet. Concentrate hard to think only of something really appetizing: some food that'll really get the hunger going. Then try to eat. Concentrate ... and get some counseling. You're not crazy. You've just got some food issues going on.

Yes it sounds like a duck it is..Anorexia nervosa. An aversion to eating often starting with the onset of puberty. When life is out of control...we try ways to get control....get to a doctor and tell them you cannot eat, and you need to see a psychologist to help you find out what the toilet seat means to you???Maybe something bad, maybe a phobia to germs. good luck and find help you need to eat to live you can overcome this, be thankful you can- lots a hope from melissa

Yeah, you'd die or be very unhealthy if that was true. Unhealthy as in, hospital.
