I’m thinking maybe I did have some sort of bug. My stomach was weird Wednesday and Thursday. It just felt a little off/sour but I was able to eat bland food. Last night I went to a play with some friends which was fun. I feel pretty tired probably from being out, and from being sick and emotional throughout the week. I am feeling a bit anxious and I’m not sure why. I just took an Hydroxozine. I’m going to rest for 30 mins and then I’m meeting a friend for lunch. I feel really guilty about all this time I’m spending in bed. I know when I’m super anxious sometimes that’s what I do. But it’s hard because I also think my body needs rest from this past week.

I just wish I weren’t feeling anxiety right now. I’m thinking maybe I’m afraid I’ll throw up sometime soon or something.

I haven't read a post from you for a while Daisy, how are things going? You recently completed a move somewhere right? How is that going? I mention this because it seems to me you are doing really well carrying on with life and getting through big changes despite anxiety. Now you just have some other things to be anxious about? I am happy that you carry on through it. I hope you can give yourself what you really need in this time. I know that even sleep does not recharge me when I am extremely anxious. ☮️

Hi! Thank you so much for your response. Everything has been going great until hitting this speed bump. Yesterday was my first real meal in a couple days and it was a burger. I kept it down and felt fine. But now I’m going to lunch with a friend and I’m scared to eat because I don’t want to get sick

hi Daisy, I have been having bloating,sour stomach and nausea. I am not sure if it’s anxiety or a virus. I am getting very anxious about eating because I feel nauseous after I eat and painfully bloated throughout the day. I have to get a grip on the anxiety and I am tired of eating saltine crackers and drinking ginger tea. I found a heating pad on my stomach helped with the pain. I hope you have a good day and enjoy your lunch.

You have emetophobia. This is an intense fear of throwing up. You can look it up on Google. I suggest you begin to work on this fear with a therapist who deals with phobias. It is my understanding that phobias, in general are treatable. Untreated there is always a possibility that they can become worse and consume more and more of your thoughts. You are young enough that it behooves you to deal with it. Think, for example, how you will feel if you have morning sickness during a pregnancy. I hope you can use this time to get therapy for this problem.

I already see a therapist and we are working on this
