Why is my phobia never taken seriously by my family? We were on a morning coffee run. (Still are.) my mom proceeds to roll down the window and even through my headphones I can tell she’s not feeling good.

She proceeds to say she feels like she’s gonna throw up. And probably because she hasn’t eaten anything this morning and took a laxative the night before. She hasn’t gotten sick but my mind is going haywire with what if she’s sick thoughts. I’ve been trying to get her to eat something in the mornings but she doesn’t, and she’s already on a weight loss med that makes her nauseated to begin with.

Then when I say I’m nervous, and she should never take medication on an empty stomach. I somehow come out looking like the asshole because she gets annoyed with me? I’m just trying to help because taking medication on an empty stomach anyway, isn’t good.

Now I’m too nervous to eat my own food I got and I feel like I’m gonna be sick now, even though it’s likely she isn’t sick.

Hi all, just some housekeeping, I’m working towards recovery. And I’m in no way asking for medical advice. Just getting words out :( I’ve been dealing with anxiety a lot lately and it all started to really ramp up when I realized we’d have to fly to get to our destination- (I’m not a good flyer)

I’ve been feeling nauseous whenever I eat, no matter what I eat :( and I was having episodes of.. the other end. As well, until I took an anti-diarrheal med. So I decided to do the adult thing and book an appointment with my families doctor and I’m really freaked out about it. And I’m happy-I really am! But still my brain won’t shut up. If anybody has any kind words or advice even about how to manage my hypochondriac thoughts about it, making my nausea worse- that’d be much appreciated! Much love friends <3

Hi all, before I give context! I am trying my best to work towards some sort of recovery, I’m just having a rough go of it :(

I’m nervous for a trip I have coming up, where I have to fly. And I’m not. A good flyer at all- it causes me so much stress and just general worry. I’m going through some psychical anxiety worries as well because I’m thinking about it, even subconsciously. I’m going through nausea every day and I’m assuming it’ll be there till the trip comes up. Every time I eat and stuff I’m afraid it’s gonna come back up for lack of better terms, or the other end. When I haven’t thrown up from anything I’ve been going through for the past few days, and I’ve just had episodes of the other end. Sorry for the TMI.

The only way I know this is anxiety you might ask? First- nobody else in my house is sick. Or has been- two. I got this way before my fiancé left for college, 2 years ago now. And we’re going to pick her up! That’s the only positive I’m trying to focus on. But it’s just- hard to knowing all my anxiety with flying :( it’s a double edged sword.

Thanks to anyone who has some kind words- or just even looks at this.. much love friends <3

So context. I’m very aware that flying is fine, and it is safe and all the statistic stuff people say. But I just can’t wrap my head around it. I have a flight and a flight back coming up in a couple weeks and I’m already thinking about it :( it’s a short one, 2 hours. Which isn’t bad, but I still can’t think about it too long or I’ll get anxiety.

I haven’t flown in a very long time :( and it’s truly freaking me out because I’ve developed some problems with contamination OCD and getting sick, primarily things like stomach bugs and sicknesses. Is there any way I can prep myself in the coming weeks for this? Or if anyone is similar to this.. I’ll be flying with my family, which helps and at the same time it doesn’t as well- due to my dad liking to make some jokes at my expense about it.

Thank you to anyone who replies or even looks at this, much love friends <3
