needing some comfort and support

[Daisy425]

hi everyone.

Things have been going great. I love living with my boyfriend and the place is starting to feel like home. He isn’t here this weekend and I’m totally okay being alone. However I just started feeling really nauseous and now I’m freaking out. Throwing up is one of my biggest fears. I did go to Chik Fil A for lunch and I got a wrap. Now I’m worried if I have food poisoning but it looked cooked. I did eat a granola bar about 30 mins ago and I kept it down. I can’t tell how much of this is me being in my head or what. I also have been busy all day so I just don’t know if I overworked myself. I’m scared because I’m alone and I really don’t want to throw up. I took a Hydroxozine which has helped to calm my nerves a little, but I’m still pretty anxious and scared. I don’t want to get sick. I know this sounds so dumb and ridiculous, and this post is probably silly to post, but I just needed a friend .

it’s not silly, my mind plays the same games with me. FEAR , false emotions appearing real. Ask yourself, is my fear based on fact or feelings?

Wow, that helps a lot, Kovoo! FEAR just calmed me down. Thank you.

You will be okay.

You’ll be fine, try not to think about food and keep your mind busy on other things

Hi Daisy, it's good to hear that your new place is starting to feel like home.

All in time, all in time. I think as you settle in from day to day, you will start

to feel more comfortable in your own skin as well. You won't allow fears to take

over so readily. You're doing good Daisy. I'm proud of you. xx

Daisy, I’m here.

I have this fear as well.

But I do have some helpful suggestions. Amazon has a good deal on barf bags. Order some and carry 1 in your bag as just in case.

Now when you get anxious and your tummy starts tying it into knots and you worry about blowing chunks. Say to yourself "This is fine. We have been here before,brain. We have a bag right here. It's fine, I know we don't like it but it's fine. We overcome this before, we'll do it again. Stomach it's okay, I won't be mad" just let your stomach relax. Accept that your tummy is feeling a little off but it's fine. And you'll begin to relax. Then get yourself some water and sip on it. Feel the coolness of it. Then engage in something that takes up your full attention from your tummy.

Like a puzzle game on your phone or look at stuff you would like to have from Etsy/Amazon make a Wishlist lol

Soon you'll notice that feeling in your tummy has gone away.

Wishing you healing and love 🫂 ❤️
