I have to force myself to eat where I just feel sick all day everyday? Is this part of anxiety? Thank you

Yes. I am the same way. Started having anxiety attacks and panic attacks in November. I have to force myself to eat because I am always gassy or belching. I maybe eat once a day which makes me feel lightheaded and other things. I totally get it.

Same here. Feel sickly every morning and cant face food even though I get hungry tend to eat a little at night but because I have no appetite I don't know what food to get in and end up with take away can't eat it all and waste it. This is calmer now. Just the waking early to sort out. What do you do at 5 am and you can't get back to sleep....

Yep. When it's bad I can't eat. It becomes very mechanical becasue it's REALLY important that you do keep eating. This is when your body needs it the most.

Talk about gas I feel bloated all the time . Sometimes I can't even drink anything with carbonation. I feel bloated after and feel sick . When I get very anxious I feel like my throat tightens and start to panic. It's just awful .

Thankyou all!! Been so worried and what about dissiness? I've been dizzy all day today and I don't like it keep thinking the worst 😭😭 x
