ruining my trip

[Daisy425]

I feel so guilty because I’m ruining my trip with my boyfriend. I was so exciting but I have constantly been having to go to the bathroom and my stomach is so upset. I haven’t thrown up but I’m scared I will. We’re at the Inn we’re staying in for the night and I’m so anxious and scared. I’m worried I’m sick. I don’t know how to move past this. I feel so guilty.

hi! Thank you so much. Im trying but I’ve barely eaten today and idk what to do

Can you get something in your tummy, even a cup of tea and some crackers maybe? Or a ginger ale or a 7 up? You need something in there to soak up that stomach acid so you don't feel so queasy. Can you take some deep breaths, into your belly? Breathe in for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4, breathe out for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4, do that a couple of times, see if it helps. It seems the anxiety is turning your tummy into knots. Our bodies and our minds are closely tied together, they affect one another... So calming the mind should help calm the tummy as well...

thank you so much! My anxiety has always affected my tummy. It makes eating such an anxiety provoking situation. I have been drinking Gatorade and was able to eat a nutrigrain bar and some crackers.

Are you feeling better? I hope the rest of your trip goes well. Feel free to use that breathing technique whenever you feel panic hitting. It's quite effective... I love on Gatorade and nutrigrain bars lol, queasy tummy here too... Hugs to ya!!

hugs!!! I feel better but now I have a slight fever. I’m not sure if anxiety can raise body temp.

Don’t feel bad it’s not your fault. Just watch a cool movie and maybe order food delivery and snacks and make the best of it. I’m sure your company is more important to him anyway. Feel better.

Im sorry youre struggling. Maybe it was just too soon, its not your fault. Dont let your anxiety bluff you into thinking theres something wrong with you even if you do have an upset stomach, it will pass. Stay hopeful
