I need help

[onelittlerose]

I can't eat. I have the urge to eat but I can't touch food. My stomach is always tight and I'm always anxious and I'm always shaking uncontrollably. I need help, in any way possible. I need to lessen the anxiety, it's an emergency,I can't do this much longer.

When I have an attack I do the block of 4 breathing technique....so you breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds out through your mouth for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds and repeat four times helps me Most of the time and it does take some practice to breathe in this manner and helps to do it any time you want or need to relax. As for the eating try soup or broth to help get your appetite back n keep your fluid intake up.

I am so sorry, onelittlerose. I have been there in my worst moments of anxiety -- safe in my warm bed but shuttering in fear. You are NOT alone. If I could, I would wrap a blanket around you and say it is okay and everything will be okay. Be kind to yourself.

Thank you for sharing. I didn’t realize that I haven’t been eating after a traumatic episode too. My appetite is zero, and I am a fat guy. The joys of food isn’t there. Everything taste bland and colorless. Hang in there and thanks for Sharing.

Little Rose, i am sorry to hear you are suffering, you need to get to your doctor. Talk to the doctor the way you talk to us. If you get nervous with doctors/authority figures, write it down and hand it to them. This can take a lot of pressure off. Plus because you can write it out beforehand you can take all the time you need. I hate it when i am seeing a doctor and all he is doing is looking for the next patient, checking his watch etc this turns me into a wreck as i feel pressured. I hope you try this and i hope it works for you.

Stay calm, stay well ❤️

Take just one bite. Breathe deep and slow, and just one bite. You don't have to commit to anything more but one. After, maybe a little later in a few minutes, you may want to decide to do that again. Deep breaths, and just one bite.
