Hi Jess - Put simply, yes this is disordered thinking, and no you can't 'spread' calories like germs. I would suggest raising this behaviour with your therapist. I know it can be difficult to talk about these patterns of thought, but as you mentioned, you want to be free of this. All the best.

This. I tried to squat without a rack and it took 4 weeks (even with a super strong husband helping to clean the weight so i could put it over my back) to need a rack. I also made the msitake of buying a cheap, flimsy barbell. Lasted 2 weeks before i reached the max weight. Also, i've had super progression with my lifts…

You also need a squat rack, or a strong spotter. Because you're going to be able to squat a whole lot more than you can press overhead. I.e., i squat 85kg and press 37.5kg.

I logged my subway sandwhich for lunch today and was a bit blown away by the sodium. Even the salads are surprisingly high. But for me, it's a handy option when I'm super busy, and don't want to buy the ingredients for just one sandwhich. I get really upset when i'm throwing out half a lettuce head at the end of the week…

Zoloft is a good drug for a combined depression and anxiety problem, and doesn't usually contribute to weight gain. As a psychologist,I hope you're also investigating non-drug therapy options, as drugs are unfortunately not a long term solution. Look into cognitive behavioural therapy.
