[Ceaser_Leone]

Hello everyone I am new here and over the last couple of weeks I have had bad anxiety, I have not eaten much even though I know i should eat but the nausaea and fear of vomiting has made me afraid to do so, I have up all night because of it and yesterday was actually a better day for me, when i did try to go to sleep i didnt even lay down I sat up in the chair and propped my head in my hand, I dosed off then woke up in fear I was about to vomit and i ran outside my apartment and saw a neighbor and got embarrassed then i ran back in my place and ran out the back door went downstairs and when i got to the parking lot I just burped. I start a new job on Monday and this job will allow me to be financially stable. I dont what to do, has anyone else ever dealt with this? how can i fix this please help

thank you

Welcome to this community. There are a lot of caring, knowledgeable people with a lot of experience, strength and hope to share. Anxiety is a bitch. I have both anxiety and depression. One makes me want to jump out of my skin and the other demands I stay in bed. With both in operation I’m a wreck. I am using professional help (therapist and psychiatrist) and have achieved some relief. Keep posting and let us know how you’re feeling. Lynne

There are definitely some supplements that would help. I have a lot of experience in that field. I also suffer from anxiety and depression, although I'm doing a lot better right now. Nutritional deficiencies sometimes play a large roll in our emotional and physical diet. Not eating or staying hydrated can cause lots of problems. Reacquaint yourself with food by eating a little snack here and there. Chew it up thoroughly before you swallow it. Do this repeatedly until you start to establish a regular eating schedule again. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. To establish regular bathroom trips eat something with fiber, when possible. Oatmeal is good, as are beans like kidney, northern, pinto, red & baked beans. Protein is critical. Chicken, fish and turkey are your best bets. Complex carbs like wild rice, baked potatoes, yams and multi grain bread or pasta are a good source of vitamins and nutrition. Quite often I eat boneless chicken, wild rice and pork 'n' beans. I love it. Finally, some OJ will give you a high amount of potassium and if you get it as fortified OJ you will get several other important nutrients too. Take control. You can do this. We are all behind you here!

Excellent. If you get back to a good diet, you can then add some quality excercise. A 30 minute walk outside in the bright sun will do wonders for you. Even walking in the dark is somewhat helpful. These things play off each other and help to improve your health. I'll pray that God will help get you back on the right path. Have a blessed day, my friend!
