nauseous as nauseous gets 😭

I got a fountain soda about an hour or so ago (usually they make me a bit nauseous but i LOVE them - so i get them anyway). obviously im going to feel nauseous from that because like i said, they usually make me nauseous. HOWEVER, im also supposed to be starting my period soon (im 2 days late - this also means my hormones are all out of wack), ive also been having some school anxiety (shit load of homework to complete in a small amount of time - my honors classes do that to me 💔), so now i genuinely feel like im about to vomit (it’s been almost 30 mins though and i felt nauseous earlier too - fun fact: after being nauseous for 30+ mins, it’s very unlikely for you to be sick :) ), so i’m not sure if im actually gonna be sick or not & now i can’t focus on my homework because im over here panicking. somebody help 😭

expired seasonings

my grandma keeps a lot of seasonings LONG after they expire. I wanted to make french fries and for my fries I add a lot of different seasonings and some bbq sauce. some of the seasonings I used are 2-6 years past their expiration date, and I’m worried that I’m gonna get sick eating them with my fries. I keep telling myself that seasonings don’t ever rot or generally “expire” (I even put 15-16 year old ginger seasoning in my tea a couple weeks ago, and I was perfectly fine - but still), but my mind keeps spiraling over it still.

might be having a panic attack

i SHOULDVE known better than to go out and buy a monster (the past couple times i’ve drank a monster, i’ve always ended up anxious asf or feeling nauseous - or both), but i did it anyway. now, im having a full on panic attack (and its REALLY bad - lowkey feels like im high or something). i genuinely feel like im about to pass out, and the panicking is only getting worse because im starting to feel extremely fucking nauseous. not to mention i’ve barely eaten all day (i tried eating some chips a bit ago bcs that’s all i have, but the nausea came back - it keeps going in and out in waves). i’ve also been drinking a bit of water, and trying to distract myself with some music and some solitaire. i’m not sure what else to do lowkey and im scared.

not sure what’s going on

there’s this chinese restaurant in my city that everyone absolutely loves and adores but i’ve never been to it (or atleast i don’t eat there that often), so my emetophobia is telling me that i’m gonna get sick off their food or end up with food poisoning. i ordered some general tso chicken and fried rice, everything was fully cooked and it was actually really good (it just made me a bit nauseous due to the richness of the sauce/flavor of it all). i tried talking to my mum and my friends about it and they were like, “well you risk that possibility even at places you eat at often” which is true but still. as of right now it’s been a good 6+ hours since i ate the food (last time i checked it takes atleast 6 hours for symptoms to start showing).
i highly doubt i’m actually gonna end up sick but the anxiety is real and i still can’t seem to convince myself otherwise…

kinda scared

I’ve been feeling nauseous since the moment i woke up this morning (i start my period in 2-3 days, so that would explain it). had some breakfast, 20 mins later ended up having diarrhea in the bathroom (tmi i know). didnt think too much of it because thats a normal occurrence for me, also another thing that typically happens on my period. a couple hours later, i had band practice, so i went to that. my friend ended up surprising me by buying me a monster and bringing it to me (last couple times i drank a monster it didnt go too well). i drank the monster throughout practice (along with water) and ended up finishing it off when i got home (and ate lunch). i started to feel nauseous again afterwards, but it went away after an hour or so. hours go by and im feeling nauseous yet again, but i get distracted in doing my makeup so it goes away. once im laying down on my phone after posting several tiktok videos and what not, guess what? more nausea. my mum was making burgers and fries for dinner so i tried having some (along with a can of sprite). however, i tried eating slowly in hopes that my stomach wouldnt freak out and halfway through my meal i start to feel nauseous and i physically couldnt eat. so, i had to throw my food away. now im in the bathroom, trying to poop again (my brain thinks that means that i wont be sick) but i still feel like crap and havent gotten anything accomplished. im worried that i will end up throwing up somehow someway and i really just wanna eat something (my stomach keeps growling and i am starving but again, i physically cant eat due to this nausea). if anyone has any advice or solutions, please let me know. im going to bed in a little less than 3 hours and i dont want to go to bed starving (or nauseous).

too much on my mind

a little bit ago i went to the bathroom and as i was washing my hands, i realized that i havent felt nauseous in a little while and i was proud of myself for it. right after i recognized that fact, i started feeling heavily anxious (and then nauseous). i tried to ignore it and distract myself by cleaning up my room and talking to myself (like i normally do). however, anytime i stop to think about something, that gut feeling of nausea and anxiety just keep waving back. i also recognized the fact that ive been really worried about this cyclospora thing going around, along with the fact that my period is supposed to come up in less than a week (as far as my tracker shows). i tried talking to my mum about it and she keeps asking me what i keep thinking about (because overthinking is normally what leads me to this gut feeling of nausea and anxiety) but i cant pin point on what exactly has been running through my head..a lot of things have been running through my head. so now my mind and my body is panicking thinking that im going to suddenly be sick, whenever in reality, im fine. im
not sure on better ways to distract myself, or what medicines/remedies i should try (besides taking my nightly melatonin pill and smacking a heating pad onto my stomach, not because it hurts but because heat puts me to sleep). i also havent eaten in a couple hours, but i have about 10 mins or so until i go to bed.

tired asf

(POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING BTW)

ive been up all night and all day, havent gotten a lick of sleep. an hour or two ago (its almost 9pm for me rn) my grandma had made everyone dinner. we had these biscuits and porkchops, and it was okay. the only problem was that the biscuits were really doughy on the inside, which sent me into a full blown anxiety attack for some reason. due to this, i immediately start having severe stomach pain and quite a bit of diarrhea right after finishing my food. luckily i was only in the bathroom for 10-15 mins, and i didnt get sick like i thought i was going to. however, my stomach still feels a bit ehh after all that bowel movement (and i have a slight sense that im gonna have to go to the bathroom again, but only if i keep focusing on my stomach..). does anyone have any tips or anything on how to relax and get your stomach back to normal? i dont want to go back upstairs to the bathroom unless i really have to, and im also trying to get to sleep (i have to be up at 5:30am, smh). i did take my melatonin pill a couple mins ago, which is helping quite a bit.

unsure of whats going on with my stomach

so I woke up this morning around 6am with a little bit of stomach pain (it went away after 20 mins). at around 7:30, I went upstairs to make me some breakfast and immediately after I got done eating, it started hurting again. I ended up going to the bathroom and it was all better again. 10:30-11 rolls around and its hurting again (I was also hungry so me, my brother, and my stepdad went out to lunch at Subway). After lunch, we went and sat in the heat to watch some sort of 4th of July parade for an hour or so (after awhile my stomach started hurting again). Now I believe were on our way home and my stomach seems to be hurting again (like I have to go to the bathroom again). Ive been doing research and im almost sure that its just constipation or gas issues (bcs ive been struggling with that for the past couple weeks or so) but at the same time theres a small part of me thats worried that im gonna end up sick or something. does anyone know what it could possibly be? I havent been feeling any other symptoms like fever, nausea, etc.
edit: i also thought it mightve been my period, but my tracker says i still have another 12 days before my period starts.

i need some sort of help

im staying at a friends house for the night, i went out with them earlier for dinner because yesterday was their birthday. we ended up going to this local pub thats about 20 mins away from where we live, and the food is amazing (ive been there a couple times before that). afterwards, their mom offered to take us by the dollar store so we could buy some snacks (we planned on staying up late). I got myself a monster, along with a box of gushers and some sour candy. we also bought some cake mix as something to do when we got bored and something for us to snack on. it is currently 1am for me, i already finished the monster i got, and we already baked the cake we got (i ate a couple bites of it). i also tried the sour candy but i wasnt a big fan so i just put it back in my bag. however, my issue is that after finishing that monster, i feel extremely nauseous. ive been nauseous ever since i finished it and even before i finished it (i finished it around 3-4 hours ago). I tried recapping on what all i ate today along with what i did to figure out why i could possibly feel nauseous, and i almost guarantee it was the monster. when i was at the pub, i got a steakburger (i made sure to get it well done for reasons like this), and then i also got some sweet potato fries (i still have them in the fridge - i was full by the time i got done with my burger). nothing i ate today was uncooked or anything, i made sure it was perfectly fine. fortunately, i know im not gonna end up sick. fun fact: if you feel nauseous for over 30 mins, its very unlikely youll get sick (my nausea also seems to pipe down anytime i find a good enough distraction, which is also a good sign). the unfortunate part is i ran out of distractions and dont know how to get my anxiety under control. i did bring my owala with me and i have been drinking water (another cause could be because i havent been drinking enough water lately). i also went to the bathroom about an hour or so ago so i know there isnt any issues there (i felt like i had to go again which is why im writing this on the toilet lol - kinda TMI, my apologies). im sure ill be fine but i just need some sort of anxiety reliever or any advice on what to do, if yall wanna share in the comments what you normally do in a predicament like this, go ahead. (and thanks for reading my really long post if youve made it this far 🥹).

panicking

I made the mistake of drinking a can of monster (while on my period), so now my body feels a bit achy and I feel slightly feverish. I also can’t think or speak right due to my high levels of anxiety rn (and every time i talk my nausea gets worse). I feel extremely nauseous and I’m not sure what to do. Its too early for me to take my melatonin pill and hope for the best, and i also didnt bring my midol with me (im at my stepdads rn). i unfortunately dont have a heating pad, so i cant use that either. i dug out my old ipad earlier and have been trying to mess around with it as a way of distracting myself (which has worked a little).
anyway i need ideas as to what to do to distract myself or atleast some advice…it feels like im going insane

tried posting this within the community itself, but ofc the mods decided to remove it

im not sure if anyone will see this post considering im posting within my profile, rather than within a specific community. however if you see this, please take a moment to read (i know, scary thing for most reddit users) and upvote it to hopefully get it out there.

heres the context:

I am a seller on depop. if you arent familiar with depop, depop is an app for selling old clothes or anything basically. personally, i sell old jewelry and kandi jewelry, along with some old clothes i still have (if you would like to check out my shop, my username is @annabelb0216). on depop, customers are able to propose offers on your items. in this instance, i had listed an old charm bracelet for 4 bucks (like depop recommended, because depop also helps you pick out a perfect price for your listings - atleast with the right details). some girl proposed an offer for 3 bucks (like to purchase it for 3 bucks) and personally, im really laid back with offers, and i dont mind going down a dollar or two, so i accepted it (my listings arent that expensive either, but i get that people love buying for cheap). however, the offer automatically expires after 24 hours if the buyer doesnt buy the item for that price or whatever, which is exactly what happened. that has only been the second time that occured to me personally, but the whole point of r/depoop is to go and complain about depop and its users, so that is what i chose to do. i never insulted the customer or came after her for what had happened, but i was a bit frustrated. that is what led to me creating my post (which ill post a screenshot of it here in a moment), and also what unfortunately led to all the hateful and slow dimwits commenting under it, bashing me for no good reason.

anyway, if you read all of that, congrats. you know how to read. but seriously please upvote this post and try to push it out there. i need more people to read this post and understand that their words have meaning to them…along with the fact that they should stop being ignorant and learn how to read (not trying to insult anybody personally, im talking about as a collective - if you feel targeted by this post though, just know ur another reason as to why i had to write it to begin with and ur apart of the problem). do better people!!

this should also go for social media as a whole but i dont have that big of a platform everywhere else as well.

offers

this is the second time this has happened. why make an offer if you didnt want to buy the item or just to let it expire…smdh

edit: my point is that i wish that buyers would explore their options first before making an offer on one persons item, if thats really the reason why this always occurs. like i said before, i dont understand why buyers make offers if they wanted to buy someone elses item or to just let it expire, etc. im sorry about the fact that yall seem to be misunderstanding my point, but there is no reason to be hateful in my comments and bashing me for posting the same content that everyone else in this thread does. no wonder why others look down upon reddit. yall are weird. other than that, i hope yall have a wonderful rest of ur day/night.

anxious

TW because i suck at censoring words - even though im not sure if theres any triggering words in here:

this morning (like i said in my last post) i was supposed to go to church, but i found out that student ministry (what i normally attend) wasnt until later so i decided to go home. last night i managed to finally get a couple hours of sleep, however, i had a nightmare where my brother and i caught the stomach bug (literally my worst nightmare) so when i woke up i started panicking. once i got over that panic attack i decided to get ready for church and i made myself pancakes for breakfast. they were mini ish pancakes. then after i left the church, i stopped by the gas station to get a fountain soda and while i was there i ended up getting a slice of breakfast pizza (this was an hour or so after i ate those pancakes). after eating both breakfast items within a time span of 2 hours and realizing that i have done so, i started to panic thinking that i over ate and that “oh im gonna get sick”, so now here i am panicking in bed while trying to distract myself with minecraft. i physically feel fine but my anxiety is making everything worse than it really is. im not really sure on what to do besides forcing myself to go to the bathroom (thats what i normally do anytime i convince myself that im gonna be sick, which 99% of the time i dont end up sick what so ever but its hard to convince myself that).

i need help

so i have to get up early in the morning due to church and i decided to set my alarm and go to bed at around 10-10:30 (an hour and a half to two hours ago btw). i didnt take my melatonin pill until around 11, and i didnt put my phone up until 11:30. however, as soon as i put my phone up and tried to fall asleep, i started to feel this sense of uncomfortableness in my body (specifically in my arms and my legs & feet). its almost like a tingling sensation in way and an aching sensation. it doesnt actually hurt but at the same time it feels kinda painful (if that makes any sense lol..). i tried searching on google as to what it could be and what to do. it told me to do some deep breathing exercises, so i tried doing a bit of that, didnt work out so well. now its getting to a point where my anxiety is rising a lot, which not only is making it worse vut is also starting to make me nauseous. im exhausted but my body refuses to let me relax and fall asleep. im not sure what to do besides try and distract myself with my phone, but i seriously need some sleep tonight because of church and having to get up early.

Advice?: I want to confront my best friend, I think she’s interested in my boyfriend

I (F15) have known this person (M14) for well over a year now (we became best friends). Recently, we found out we both like each other so we decided to get together. However, a couple days before my friend (F14) asked me what he looked like. I decided to show her and she said “oh he’s cute” and I agreed with her. She then asked me if I would date him as if she wanted a shot with him. I gave her my honest answer and was like “yea I would”.

The three of us are in a group chat together and after she found out about our relationship (she read my bio, which has the date we got together), she said “how dare you guys make me the single one” and started acting like a total pick me. Hence why I’ve been basically ghosting her.

However, the whole situation has been bothering me and I can’t ignore her forever (we go to school together and we’re in band and in the same section - we have band camp later next month) so I’ve been thinking about confronting her about it. My boyfriend thinks I should, and he assured me that he didn’t have any feelings for her (which I already knew but that was nice).

I’m not sure whether or not I should confront her, because I could be overthinking but I’m gonna continue to keep an eye on her behavior and keeping my distance from her.

kinda anxious

about an hour or so ago my stepdad took me and my brother out to Burger King as we were on our way to some guys house (it was one of my stepdad’s friends and they needed help with a vehicle). I finished my meal as my stepdad was helping the guy out with his vehicle, and my stomach started hurting as we were on our way home. Mind you, I was up all night (until around 9am, I fell asleep in my stepdads truck while he was with another friend fixing some sort of car he planned on selling) and I haven’t been eating as much as I normally do. I go home and sit in the bathroom for about ten minutes with diarrhea (this is so weird to talk about but oh well) and I’m thinking “wait what if I got food poisoning from the food?”, because when my stomach hurts and something happens within my bowels, I immediately think of the worst. I highly doubt it’s food poisoning and even if I highly doubt it would’ve hit that quickly as well. I didn’t feel nauseous whenever I was in the truck with a stomach ache but only when I got out of the bathroom and started overthinking. I’m in need of some reassurance/advice on what to do about my anxiety (because I will feel incredibly nauseous if it keeps up - right now I’m about to post a group post on Xbox and hopefully play Roblox with some people).

been anxious/nauseous all night..

yesterday, I spent most of my day playing Minecraft with my friends (and my partner), along with playing video games in general. last night, I went to the dollar store to grab some deodorant and batteries because I was running low on both. while I was there, I decided to get a monster (I haven’t had monster in awhile) which sometimes messes with my stomach big time. The issue is that I came home and chugged the whole can, and I’ve been feeling anxious (or nauseous) since. normally, I would have fallen asleep around midnight or 1am but now it is currently 4am. what’s worse is that I keep getting videos on my TikTok fyp of people getting sick or whatever, and it’s not helping my situation any. I just wish I could go to bed and not feel sick every night.

panicking (again)

I left the fair an hour ago (if you haven’t read my last post and would like some context, please do so) and I was still feeling bloated from the food I ate and mostly all the tea I drank (I still have a full 32 oz cup of tea that me and my friend were sharing 💔). speaking of said friend, they were originally staying the night with me after the fair but they were wanting to go home due to feeling nauseous as well. We stopped by the gas station before we fully left town and while we were there I was messaging someone about my father - they seem to know him (im not sure whether or not he’s doing so well, they’re supposed to keep me updated about that), so that whole conversation with them on top of how my friend was feeling has been making me feel anxious and now my nausea keeps going in and out (one minute I’ll be fine but the next it feels like I’m gonna be sick). I am gonna try going to the bathroom when I get home along with taking my melatonin pill (that usually calms me down when I’m having really bad anxiety). I would also seek some comfort from my partner but they’re sleeping right now so I can’t. In the meantime, I’m not sure what to do (along with what to do if going to the bathroom and taking my melatonin pill doesn’t help).

panicking

I’ve been at this fair for an hour or so and I rode some of the rides and now I’m feeling really nauseous. I haven’t eaten in a couple hours or so and I’m waiting on my stepdad and my brother to get done with a ride so I can get money and go buy some food..I’ve been really anxious ever since before I got here and it’s only gotten worse and worse and I’m not sure what to do in this moment.
