better day

[Daisy425]

today has been slightly better. The morning was hard. I had a muffin from Dunkin and for lunch I had soup. Then for a snack I had Cheetos. I am really craving pizza for dinner but I’m scared to eat. Because it’s not bland

Hi daisy have you got a eating disorder or are you just a picky eater ? Fo you have anxiety or depression i wonder if you had that can also account for you eating habits !! Take care !

[Daisy425 in reply to Celtic27]

No I don’t! When I’m anxious it just becomes pretty hard for me to eat. Then when I start becoming less anxious it’s easier. Idk if that makes sense.

you deserved a better day, that’s fantastic.

[Daisy425 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

Thank you so much! I’m scared it won’t last

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Daisy425]

it’s ok to feel that way, it’s important to remember the times where you feel better and more peaceable because it gives you a healthy mental foundation that troublesome days will pass and you’ll have strength in knowing when they do return, and they do, relief can and does happen.

[Daisy425 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

Eating is just the hardest part. I’m not sure what to do. I feel hungry and want pizza but I’m scared it’ll mess up my stomach

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Daisy425]

Have you had pizza directly upset your stomach before?

[Daisy425 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

No! My stomach has just been hurting but I think it’s from the anxiety. Because I have an appetite

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Daisy425]

then have pizza and enjoy it 🙃

[Daisy425 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

This is irrational but I’m just scared it’ll make me sick. I’m hungry and want to eat but my anxiety is making my tummy hurt a little. I’m sure not eating doesn’t help. My stomach probably wants food

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Daisy425]

I understand. if you’re craving pizza try it. if you feel better eating something safer that you know won’t cause you any problems do that then. it’s important for your body and mind to eat. You’re doing great.

[Daisy425 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

Thank you so much! I’m honestly exhausted from today

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Daisy425]

that’s a good exhaustion, hopefully that will translate into peaceful sound sleep and rest and waking up ready for a Dunkin muffin.

[Daisy425 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

You are amazing! I know you are struggling as well but you truly are remarkable! Your words have helped me so much.

[litethatnevergoesout in reply to Daisy425]

I’m really glad to hear it and thank you for the kind words.

[Daisy425]

That’s what I was thinking but I also don’t know if my body needs more nutrients! I could try eggs and toast instead.

[Weeniedoglady]

I started drinking Boost when I'm really anxious to ensure I'm getting all my nutrients. It's not the best stuff but it's easier than eating a meal sometimes, I can totally relate girl.

[Daisy425]

Don’t apologize! Thank you for checking!! I just have a hard time eating after being anxious. I hate it.

[Swilly97]

Yay! So happy for you!

When the kids have pizza, I get the same way. I'm like ohhhh that looks and smells so good but will I freak out and have a panic attack if I eat it? The answer is probably yes. Technically it's fine though.

I'm so glad for you. Give yourself a pat on the back✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[Swilly97]

Maybe try a bite, see how you feel which I'm sure you'll feel ok, then go from there. Idk that's what I usually do. Especially with pizza. I always end up ok.
