my uncle threw up and i sat in his spot

ok so basically my mom had to pick up my uncle from the airport this morning , she said he probably drank cuz she could smell the liquor on him, and when they got to a gas station he threw up.

he didnt throw up IN the car but she said he was also sleeping the whole time and groaning. its freaking me the hell out.

and i sat in his spot, in the passenger, because we went to go vote for our state senator and stuff. she didnt tell me till we were on our way home.

i have noone to tell right now and im so anxious that he was sick and not just drunk or hungover. i know that theres always a chance blah blah blah but like ARGHHH im so scared!!!! im hungry because i just woke up like two hours ago, and i havent eaten. But im scared to eat now! i hate living with this, it doesnt help that i had a minor anxiety attack like all of yesterday because i felt off (it was probably constipation).

AND im just coming off my period, so im still minorly cramping, and obviously that doesnt help either. Im just so beat down and tired, and sad, and anxious. i just really hope he didnt have anything contagious.

feeling uncomfortable and anxious

please help i went to go to the bathroom a couple hours ago and had a bm. not anything crazy but it felt small and like id have to go later. well later came and i tried to go again but nothing came out, but when i wiped there was stool on the toilet paper.

now my stomach is feeling like uncomfortable and im scared im going to throw up, im feeling so weird and anxious, im also worried that im gonna have a panic attack and then start to feel worse aka starting the cycle. im feeling so so anxious

im trying to distract myself by watching a show with my bf but its beginning to get extremely difficult to not panic. ive been sipping water and sitting upright and im not feeling like nauseous but just kind of weird idk im so scared. my bf said it was probably just me being constipated and im really hoping he's right. i just need to calm down so this is kind of just me getting it out.

i would like some words of comfort or something, ive been struggling really bad with my mental health and emetophobia obviously doesnt help. if anyone can even comment ab how they relate or anything would help, i just want to feel less alone right now.

Stomach feels so bloated and like its gonna happen but only when im standing and fully relaxing my stomach

so they title basically explains how im feeling but can anybody please explain why this is happening?! im freaking the hell out even though i feel mostly fine while sitting and relaxing.

im so scared its going to happen or that something else is wrong. my saliva also tastes kinda sweet and im scared i have diabetes or something. it only started tasting sweet after i had a lipton tea tho so idk.

​

my mind is all over the place and im so stressed out over this. i did have little ceasers yesterday but thats because i work there and we get a free pizza every week. i was the only one touching my pizza and i washed my hands before i made it but im still scared i have food poisoning or noro or something.

​

is this normal??? im so scared and i want to cry so bad. again its ONLY when im standing and relaxing my stomach fully. if im standing and not fully relaxing it then it goes away.

Worked my first day at my first job, worried about getting fp or noro

So its basically like the title says, i work in fast food, we make pizza and stuff and im scared of getting noro from my co workers and handling the food idk it sounds stupid

i also almost fainted like twice, maybe three times, i didnt eat or drink much today because we have no food, i had about 5 chicken nuggets before work and took a dramamine "just in case", i took like three five min breaks each time i felt i couldnt just work through the dizzyness and tiredness. and each time i felt like a giant failure. ik im new and all and this is my first job and stuff but i feel like complete let down. and i feel like im gonna get fired cuz i took those breaks, idk i feel like i pressure myself to rest as little as possible when it comes to jobs, like if i take a break im gonna get fired or my gm or coworkers will look down on me.

im praying i just overexerted myself and that plus lack of food and water in my system caused me to feel like that, i felt dizzy and my stomach felt weird. i did my best to not freak out in front of my gm and coworkers and did pretty alright but i work tomorrow and im so scared that ill feel like that again and maybe actually pass out.

This is besides my emetophobia kinda but i am also worried for my future in the work industry, like i feel so dumb and incompetent and like everybody hates me. i also feel weak and slow, like im not doing enough. like i dont belong. and i feel burntout after the FIRST DAY, i feel so pathetic like honestly. i keep telling myself that this is the real world and i need to find a way to deal cuz everybody else does. idk im just rambling at this point , i feel hopless tho! i only worked like 5 or 6 hours! idk like i said i feel weak and pathetic that im already feeling burntout after one day, i just hope it gets easier and im just being dramatic. plus the worry about catching something.

ate leftover rice from about 6/7 days ago, worried ab food poisoning

hey so my fear is basically in the title lol, my mom cooked some rice for me and my boyfriend last weekend and its been in the fridge since then, i reheated it on the stove today with some spam and im worried that i didnt reheat it enough or something, i only took a couple bites before feeling nauseous

i feel okay right now, i drank some water and got some spikey pain in my upper tummy which freaked me out. I am also on my period rn and so yk how that combined with anxiety can be.

i looked at how fast food poisoning sets in from rice but i read it can start within 30 min to like 2 weeks and im a nervous wreck. like i feel fine now but im basically playing the waiting game and spiraling into oblivion

so my mom got us wingstop earlier today and im so scared im going to get food poisoning or noro, and i stupidly went to the reviews and read ONE that said they got food poisoning and it was a week ago.

im freaking the fuck out right now and to make matters worse my boyfriend is heading over and will be here in like an hour and i dont want to be freaking out the whole time hes here, im probably gonna take a dramamine just to cope a little bit but im so fucking scared and my coping mechanisms aren't helping

i just need a little support right now, ik reassurance isnt allowed on here but idk im so scared and need to tell somebody so here i am

little edit, but ive eaten from this wingstop two times before and been fine but im reading the reviews and its just freaking me out more, i want to stop reading but i literally just cant and im spiraling rn, i hate this phobia and i hate eating out.

Hi (i wont be using abbreviations so just a TW for that) im going to a concert tomorrow by myself , im so terrified of eating anything before but im also terrified of passing out or throwing up, plus getting a bug or virus.

i need advice on how to cope or just something to ease my mind. i also had a really bad panic attack the other day and my arms and hands locked up really REALLY bad it lasted quite a bit but i had to force myself to lock in because i had an interview (panic attack happened on the way because my stomach was hurting). thats never happened before and i dont want it to happen again.

im staying in a hotel with my mom and sister until saturday and ive only had crackers with pepperoni and cheese, chips, and tea. my mom and sister are out right now picking up pizza that i might eat but idk. i hate eating out due to this dumb phobia but eating out is the only option for food rn, besides snacks we picked up before the drive over here.

please if anybody has any comforting words or advice id be more then happy to hear them.
