getting better…

[Daisy425]

I was finally feeling like my normal self until today. I had a really bad day at work. I was being stern with my class due to their behavior and randomly felt hot and sweaty and nauseous, which made me scared that I was getting a stomach bug. I feel a little better now that I’m home but my stomach is still a little off, which is probably due to my anxiety. I keep having to use the bathroom a lot maybe from anxiety or from coffee. I took a shower and now I’m resting in bed. I know I need to eat dinner but I’m pretty nervous to. I don’t want to get sick.

My lower back is also hurting but that happens before my period usually.

I was proud of myself for going to the gym this morning instead of after work, but now that seems daunting for tomorrow. I just want to sleep but I need to eat first and I’m afraid

Food and hydration are important Daisy. Try to eat something more on the bland

side and make sure you hydrate this evening. The fact that you were feeling good

before today probably means that it could be more anxiety related.

I hope you get a good night's rest and feel back to normal tomorrow.

Wishing you well dear xx

Thank you both! I was able to eat some peanut butter crackers and I had some pretzels with hummus. I want to go to bed but it’s so early

Great choices Daisy. Your body will dictate when to go to sleep.

Goodnight, sleep well my friend xx

I slept a little and now I’m not cold but I am anxious about having a stomach bug and throwing up

But it hasn't happened right??

This is Anticipational Anxiety which can produce the same smptoms

as if you were experiencing the issue.

Most of the things we worry about never happen and if they do

it's never as bad as we thought.

I wish you a good rest of the night. xx

I agree with Agora1, you need to eat and drink. Even a piece of toast would be better than nothing. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Daisy

all I can suggest is to rest relax & hydrate with drinking water, no additives

And get warm & comfortable, maybe take a bit of time off from work

Sleep is a great healer, create an environment whereby you can fall asleep comfortably & safely
