trying not to spiral

[Daisy425]

I feel a little better this morning. I actually felt somewhat normal last night. However, I still have anxiety this morning. It makes it hard for me to be optimistic about the day. I’m scared to eat breakfast because if it. I’m trying not to spiral. I know I won’t throw up. Yesterday I had two normal meals and didn’t get sick. Eating just seems very daunting. I know that the sooner I go back to eating normally 3 meals a day and not restricting myself to safety foods like crackers, the sooner I’ll start ti feel better. But eating is very scary. I keep telling myself I did it yesterday and was okay, and I will be okay today. I just wish someone could tell me I wouldn’t throw up.

Hi Daisy425, it sounds like you have the same issue I had last year. The sight of food, smell of food, and thought of food made me nauseous and I just could not eat. It as so bad I lost 48 lbs. My dr had to give me a medication to turn on my appetite again because I was that way for 6 months. If you can't eat, try getting some Ensure protein drinks so you at least are getting some nourishment. Let us know how you make out.

daisy, I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. I wish I could tell you that you won’t throw up, but I can’t. keep hanging in there. I saw this post from HU coming up and thought you might be interested.

Thank you so much! I wish I could do that but I’ll be working. I keep eating normally so I assume I would’ve thrown up by now?

seems logical that you would have thrown up by now, these types of fears and anxiety aren’t very logical. by the sounds of it you’re very in tune with your self. keep up fighting the good fight and continue living life. you’re doing good, Daisy. Keep posting we are here to help you as best as we can.

It's good to you said you know you won't throw up, that kind of belief in yourself is important and it doesn't matter if you did. I would just try and do three small meals today and go from there

can I make a suggestion....try and eat a little something, preferably protein based....every 2-3 hours.....I try to eat 5 times a day....just breathe and take it easy
