life changes

[Daisy425]

I have been a bit MIA. This summer I started an IOP group which has been great. This past Tuesday I started ozempic to help witb my PCOS and I’m struggling. A trigger for my anxiety is not feeling good. I’ve felt like absolute crap. Tuesday night I was nauseous. I’m 25 and a baby and was so scared I stayed at my moms. Each days feels maybe the slightest bit better but I’m not hungry, which I know is part of the point of the medication. I don’t know how much of these side effects are anxiety or the medication. I don’t feel anxious but I’m also just feeling miserable and want to be back to normal. I’m scared to eat because I don’t know how I’ll feel after

"I have been a bit MIA."

First and foremost, good to see you back.

.

Second, with everything else that you wrote, this is where you keep tabs of what is going on. (it's usually best to write it down on paper, and then put it off to the side)

If you can make it to your next doc appointment, fine.

If the side effects are bothering you, then I would give your doc a call with whatever you wrote down, and see what he/she has to say.

The doc said maybe not to take the injection next week (it’s a weekly medication). But I don’t know how much of my symptoms were from the medication and how much were anxiety. I injected Tuesday afternoon around 2pm. Today is Saturday and I’m just starting to somewhat feel like myself again but not quite. I’m terrified to eat because I’m scared the food will interact poorly with the medication.

"But I don’t know how much of my symptoms were from the medication and how much were anxiety."

Alright.. Let's (try to) relax for a second, and let's also "try" to look at the bigger picture here for a sec.

.

You are putting something "new" in your system, and your body is adjusting to it.

It's kinda like.. Let's say you never had a cup of coffee, or that you haven't had a cup of coffee in a very long time, and then you had one.

Well your body would react "in some way" to that cup of coffee. (even though your mind might be thinking, "it's only coffee")

You get where I'm going with this?

.

All I'm saying is this.

If the sides aren't too bad, (and if it were me) then I would listen to your doc.

If the sides are bad, then I would make a phone call, and see what he/she has to say.

.

Hopefully what I wrote here helps you a "little" bit.

As always, your words really do help. Thank you so much for being such a support to me. I really appreciate it! I’m trying not to let this push me into an interest Spiro, so I’m doing what I can to keep going about my day instead of sitting in bed, but sometimes it’s hard. Eating is also hard because I’m starting to get an appetite but I’m afraid to eat

[AnxiousSilver in reply to Daisy425]

No problem.

.

If eating is hard, and you are afraid to eat, then lets start small and simple.

Do have crackers at home?

That's a good starter type of food.

If you don't have crackers, then how about making toast?

.

Either way.. I would recommend starting small, and then slowly working your way up. (I think that would be the best way to go)

How's that sound?

I have been doing that since Wednesday which has helped! But I also think it might be time to eat normally

See.. You're doing good.
