so i was up till 2am with bad anxiety and i finally managed to fall asleep, i had a dream about throwing up and it felt deathly real when i woke up i was gasping for air and trying to catch a breath and had this horrible feeling in my throat. i am so scared to go back to sleep and can’t settle after having that bc of how real it looked and felt
does anyone else experience digestive issues from anxiety/fear? nausea, stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation
so it’s currently 00:45am. this started about 11pm. i was drying my hair when suddenly i started feeling “werid” i turned my hair dryer off and just thought it was just a bit of anxiety and stood up to try calm myself down then finish drying my hair. as i was stood up i genuinely couldn’t even catch a breath i started crying with my hand on my chest trying to breathe, i always have my windows open btw bc it helps with my anxiety, so i went into bed and tried to let some fresh air hit my face as that usually helps, i was laid down for about 2 mins when it only just got worse, a big wave of nausea hit me (i also have really severe emetophobia) due to my emetophobia that caused the panic to grow even more, i ALWAYS have anti sickness medication on me due to my phobia so i grabbed the packet and went downstairs to get water to take it, after i took it it only just got worse from there and i figured i had to phone my bf as i did not see this being good. i tried to call him twice and he didn’t answer as he was sleeping which i knew about but he told me if i ever need him at night just to phone him. he text me saying did you try phone me and i told him to phone me back as soon as he can he phoned me back and i went into my conservatory and just explained to him what was going on, he was telling me to just try breath through my nose and asked if i wanted him to come down to mine which i declined as i prefer just speaking to someone over the phone during attacks rather than in person as i always find that makes it a lot worse. he eventually managed to calm me down enough to go back up to my room, i got into bed and he was still on the phone just making sure i was okay, once i seemed okay enough he told me he was going to sleep and just to phone him back if i need him again. iv messaged SHOUT to try speak to someone just to calm me down all together but i am feeling a lot better however it really really shook me up. i have been struggling all year with anxiety bad panic attacks and my emetophobia but that panic attack was one of the worsts i have had in a while. i have a appointment tomorrow at psychology for my anxiety and emetophobia . i’m not taking any medication as im to scared of side effects. just feeling really rubbish now and quite drowsy from the anti sickness tablets.
i was staying at my boyfriends and woke up this morning with the urge to use the toilet. i had a episode of diarrhoea and immediately started panicking. my bf wasn’t even awake because it was still really early in the morning so i just booked a taxi and went home. iv been home for a hour took imodium and had two more episodes of diarrhoea. i honestly don’t know what this can be 😢😢 im from the uk so im not worried about the parasite going around but i have no idea what could be causing this. i just want to curl up and cry my anxiety has been skyrocketing the last month and iv been struggling to eat

So i have struggled with emetophobia since i was 9. however this year it has been the worsts it ever been, i need to see a mental health nurse and currently on the waiting list for exposure therapy at psychology. i have been with my bf for almost a month now. when we first met i was very open to him about my phobia and the anxiety i experience in my day to day life, he never really heard of it before but he tries to be as understanding as possible, if were watching a film and a vomit scene comes on hel immediately cover my ears and put my face into his shoulder. i have stayed with him most of the time the past month we have been together and i have experienced 3 panic attacks whilst at his. the first time was because i got noodles in my hair and he got a bucket of water to try clean it out, looking at the bucket gave me such bad flashbacks it caused me to go into a panic attack and i almost went home but eventually calmed down, the second time i done a bowel movement one morning and my stomach started cramping afterwards which sent me into a spiral and i had to phone my mum to come collect me. the third time he was asleep so he didn’t realise but my brain was just telling me stuff and i was believing it which caused me to panic. now don’t get me wrong he is so so good with me when i get like this however im worried it’s going to become to much for him and he’s going to leave me, i already said to him i don’t expect him to understand but i feel like this phobia can make me really selfish if we order food i need to pick where because i don’t eat out many fast food places , if we go out for dinner i need to choose where aswell because i won’t eat out new restaurants. i told him to let me know if anything bothers him and he said everything is fine but i can’t stop overthinking. does this phobia affect anyone else’s relationship? if so how so?
so i took my period at my boyfriends last night and i came home this morning fell asleep and woke up at 12. i had a shower and planned on getting ready but my cramps were so bad and suddenly i got a wave of intense nausea. back in bed feeling really shaken up and worried. i don’t know if it’s the cramps that’s making me feel nauseous or just my period in general but im so scared
hey so iv started to get closer to god and i swear god is testing me because im currently struggling really bad with lust and sexual temptation. i f up last night and slept with this boy after saying i am not doing casual intimacy anymore i felt so guilty after and asked god for forgiveness. i struggle really bad with self pleasure and i managed to stop for 1 month but f up 2 days ago idk why this is suddenly happeninggggg how do you guys deal with it i know it says in the bible to run from temptation but unfortunately i let my hormones get the better of me
Hi. I want to learn more about my religion and become much closer to god. for background my mum and dad are both baptised protestants. we were never baptised as they wanted us to decide our own views on religion when we were older. As iv got older i have definitely felt like god is wanting me to go to him. i get lots of christian tiktoks and posts on my social media feed, i see crossed everywhere and whenever i feel alone/down i feel like i have god by my side if that makes sense? i wear a cross round my neck and planning to read the bible. i talk to god every night thanking him and asking him to help heal me. (i struggle with bad anxiety) please let me know anything else to learn about/do to be closer to the lord! thanks
