sorry for so many posts. I really do apologize as I post so much. I do journal but I love this website because I feel like I’m being heard and I value that so much. I just made pizza for dinner and I ate two small slices. I was craving it, and I’ve been struggling to eat recently with my anxiety. Now I am laying on my couch terrified that the pizza is going to make me sick. In the back of my mind I keep wondering what if my stomach ache yesterday was actually a stomach bug, and I just made it worse from the pizza.
Second, today was better than yesterday but I feel so exhausted, even though I slept 10 hours last night. It’s worrying me that I might be sick. I slept a lot over the weekend too when I was anxious.

Post as much as you want. I will be doing the same. I discovered this site a few days ago when "googling" anxiety support groups and I am so glad I found it. I have my therapist and psychiatrist, but I only see them once a month so this helps to be able to vent whenever I need to. It helps me feel not so alone. How are you feeling now?
I’m so glad you found this site! I feel okay. I think it’s all in my head. Im hoping if I don’t get sick from this it’ll make it easier for me to eat tomorrow. It will show im not sick and that I can eat. Idk it sounds silly. Im just anxious now and feel anxiety thinking about waking up tomorrow and having to face this over again. Mornings are so hard. I just want to be back to normal
I want to be back to normal also. I had a better day today and hope to keep it going tomorrow, but I just never know how I will feel when wake up. I need to try to stay busy, but is hard sometimes. I am glad you were able to eat a little and feel okay. Is all about gaining confidence and realizing going to be ok. We just don't know when they will be okay and that is the hard part
That is what I’m struggling with. I felt hungry so I ate some goldfish, but now I still feel hungry after eating. I don’t want to overdo it and upset my stomach. I also have a headache which is making me anxious
Hang in there Daisy. Your stomach probably got hurt from all the anxiety and stress from the anxiety. And when it goes to the stomach it is not the business. And sure doesn’t help the fear. Try not to be too worried. Since you’ve done well with some foods and snacks maybe I take a little more and just say it’s going to be good I will digest fine my tummy is recovering. Anything positive. Headache could also be from the tummy and not eating enough. Good vibes up to you.
I deal with tension headaches when get too worked up. They can be very painful. Maybe just try to rest for a bit and then see how you feel and if you want anything else to eat.
I understand. For me, the bad days just feel like an endless cycle. Never know when something is going to upset me again. Try to stay positive. I know how hard it is.
Oh my dear Daisy I understand. I've been exactly there. I could've written this. About a year ago, we had a gathering at my house for a family a members birthday (my thoughts started messing with me long before the gathering about pizza bc i knew it would be here). And- they got the best pizza, from my favorite shop. I stared at it, wanted it, smelled it, and then, my head starts crap with me.
In my head- "Are you gonna get sick? Probably. Don't eat that you'll get sick. You better not. What if you get food poisoning? What if you get sick? You will. Don't eat that"
I eventually ate some after talking it through with my wife and I was so happy. So proud. Of course it's not over then bc my head starts again! I was fine btw.
You're ok. It's just got to be the anxiety monster. It'll zap your energy and make you feel ill. I hope I'm not triggering you I'm just saying I understand and that it gets better.
Btw, you don't post too much, you do what you need to. If you need to vent, we're here. 🫂
