In the dumpster again

[Gillyflower18]

Yesterday I really tried to get moving. Did some time on bike and took care of paperwork and meditated in the morning. Short yoga in afternoon. Was doing ok till I had some cheese and cracker in the evening. Stomach and gut rebelled. Made my anxiety worse again. Extreme belching and knot in stomach,rumbling gut,nausea the works A combination of Pepcid and Ativan calmed it down but it’s still with me this morning. Combine that with extreme muscle tension, sore eyes from same, blurred vision and racing thoughts and you have the picture. I’m trying to do what my therapist and I think is beneficial but it’s soooo hard. Right now I’m feeling quite nauseous and discouraged. Help anyone !

Wow! You are really doing well!

I think you said that you had a great day, doing things for your health, then suffered a setback last night.

That's the way it is for us, when you have a setback you have to pick yourself up and carry on. I know it sounds easy, and simplistic, but it's true for just about everything in life. Dwell on your successes. When you fall down, get up as fast as you can!

Don’t be discouraged. Look at what you did yesterday, all of that activity is amazing.

I’m not sure what causes your digestive issues, as in it’s anxiety or if you have a medical issue, but if you can do what you did in activity yesterday and be that strong during the day, you can be that strong again today and tomorrow and the next day.

Shut the discouragement down if you can and like the poster before me said, revel in your successes. Hope you keep the momentum going again today.

Thank you. I really do have a hard time accepting compliments of any kind. Even my therapist says I immediately disregard them or make light of them. You’re both right. I’ll try harder. The day got better as it went on. Took a short walk. It’s all I can manage right now. Today I’m anxious but I’m trying to just accept it and keep moving. I don’t always see replies right away so sorry for the delay.

Have you considered you may be lactose intolerant ?

Yes I only use lactose free milk and try to follow the FODMAP diet when I feel like eating.
