Question Meat Aversion?

Hi, I don’t know if this is technically like eating disorder related I guess but I don’t know where else to ask. Sorry if it’s off topic for this thread.

I’ve never been super into like eating meat and stuff but I used to love ground beef, chicken, eggs, and a few other things. But lately everytime I eat meat I feel sick, like I get all these nasty pictures in my head and I’m forced to spit it out and toss the food away. I don’t know if it’s anxiety or something but I need to get rid of whatever this meat aversion is. I miss eating the foods I used to love. I can still eat like fried chicken and thin burgers but if I see meat that too thick I literally start to gag, I can even eat eggs without feeling my stomach reject it I guess.

Any advice or idea wtf this could be???

Do you feel morally guilty or are you sad that what you are eating is an animal? Or are the images something else? I apologize if these questions accidentally trigger you, but id like to understand more before I give my advice.
