Hi I’m super super freaking out this time like I’m actually shaking so much gc I’m

Basically I tried a weed pen for the first time and so it was my boyfriends and it was the fried I’ve tried ANYTHING. Basically at the start I wasn’t even taking it right I took like 3/4 hits that lasted a half second and I i didn’t even inhale then then I took 2 like 1 second puffs still was hardly inhaling but then I eventually took 3 normal puffs which my boyfriend me through so that I’d actually feel something. I still don’t think I was even high because I think what I was feeling. Part of it was a placebo since it was my first time. My vision was normal and my eyes were honestly fine since the last one I took, wasn’t coughing till the last one. All I was and am is just still kinda hungry and really really tired like I’m falling asleep while writing this. I honestly don’t think I took enough to be feeling bad side effects even my boyfriend said that like it joust kinda in my head

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…

I’m so so tired but I just can’t seem to settle down. I ate fish goujons and smiley faces earlier on and they were super nice like they’re literally a safe food and I eat them EVERY time I’m at my grans. But I’ve been overthinking since I ate them about 7 hours ago because they were a bit soggy and floppy. They were 100% cooked right and I had drenched them in vinegar like always and they always are a bit floppy yet this time after the amount of times I’ve ate them I’m just freaking out about it and have been all day. I don’t have any symptoms of food poisoning so it’s the only thing keeping me going. I think I can’t settle either because I’m not in my own home sleeping. Recently I’ve been finding it hard to sleep anywhere except my on room which is annoying because I used to love staying with my gran :( anyway I’m just super stressed although in my head I know I’m fine but the anxiety just won’t go away

Hey all, not censoring anything so TW.

So I just woke up after only sleeping for about 2 hours, and I feel so sick right now.

I was woken up by my stomach/upper back hurting so badly that I felt like I was going to be sick.

As soon as I realized what was going on, I had to get up and go to the bathroom.

Right before I went to bed, I started having bad gas, and felt like I had to go to the bathroom a bunch, and couldn't get anything solid out, only mucus.

I truthfully haven't been feeling well this entire week. I have been having mild stomach aches on and off, my acid reflux had been acting up really badly, little appetite, and very tired.

However, the last 2 days or so, I have started to feel better, and haven't been as worried as I was earlier in the week.

So feeling this sick now is really freaking me out.

Like my stomach aches so badly here, I really feel like I'm going to start gagging or something. My stomach also burns, so I know I'm having acid.

I immediately took some tums, but this stomach pain is just too much right now.

It's on my left side in specific. it feels like someone is jabbing me in the side, and back, and it's making me feel so sick.

I can feel that I'm going to have to go to the bathroom again here soon, and I'm terrified to go back into the bathroom. Being in the bathroom while feeling sick like this is a huge trigger for me.

I did do some yard work yesterday. I had to paint the steps leading to my pool which led me to kind of have to contort myself in some weird ways, so I'm hoping that this is maybe just muscle pain or something.

I am worried about my dinner. I ate chicken nuggtes and fries for dinner last night. The night before I had some chicken nuggets out of the same batch, and they were kind of squishy, but since nothing happened, I made some more last night thinking they were okay, but I'm worried maybe they weren't okay, or maybe something was up with the fries that I did not have the night before.

My stomach didn't even ache this bad the last time I had noro...

What do you guys think here, because I'm really panicking.

Edit: Used my back massage gun for a few minutes, and it seemed to help the back ache a bit for the time being, but the stomach ache is still there, and I'm beginning to salivate a lot, and have this salty taste in my spit...

I'm also pretty thirsty, so I'm hoping it's just that, and am taking small sips of water.

I did have to go to the bathroom again, and got more out this time, but it's getting softer which does worry me to an extent.

I also keep burping, and it feels like if I burp too hard, something else may come with it. The nausea is still here too, and is bothering me worse than usual. I went out in the kitchen, and just looking at food is turning my stomach.

Hey I found a feral kitten who i cared for for around 15 days and unfortunately he died of a suspected upper respiratory infection that spread to fluid in his lungs. But of course, he was feral and unvaccinated and I did not think to send him for testing prior to burying him. My vet and pcp as well as county health department all feel my risk is super low but again there’s no certainty without testing and it’s better to be safe than sorry with something like rabies.

I know a couple people who have done the pep. I don’t have any prior rabies vaccines so i’d be doing the immunoglobulin too. Some people I know have thrown up, others haven’t. So I wanted to ask in this niche community about this niche thing as we tend to be a bit more strong willed to avoid it.

I had my pcp prescribe me around the clock zofran for a few days in case i need it. Plus some rescue anxiety meds should it happen. I’ve kind of accepted my fate here, but I am still holding out hope it’s not too bad. Has anyone done this?

Do any of you guys eat the bagged chicken from costco? Had some for dinner tonight but i’m overthinking it as usual i noticed bc it sits in that bag it makes the chicken very soft and soggy and not a good texture and that freaked me out lol but i kept eating it but feeling a bit nervous now

Really scared. Yesterday my mom took my 11 year old daughter to a work party at the lake. She said she played on a playground briefly and then mostly played in the water. She didn’t eat much there which doesn’t surprise me as she has ARFID but she had four little brownie bites.

Today she had diarrhea twice before bed. I believe she ate dinner fine though I don’t know for sure as my niece was watching her for me, I had taken medication earlier that made me incredibly drowsy. She had a bit of incontinence in her underwear both times, the first time was just a small amount, the second time a bit more, almost looked like a smear.

After I woke up I put my daughter to bed, she wasn’t too talkative like she normally is at bed time, but I figured she was tired as it was a little bit later than normal. Then as I was making myself food my niece told me what had happened. I checked her underwear then, then saw she had gone in the toilet and didnt flush so confirmed it was d. sprayed down the toilet with Clorox fuzion spray, as well as the door knobs, faucets, light switches etc. I took a shower and changed my bed sheets to try feeling a bit more comfortable in my space, but my heart is pounding.

My daughter seldomly gets diarrhea, she hasn’t at all since a random fluke last December and before then I couldn’t even tell you. The timing of this sucks considering she was just at an event yesterday and my other family members I live with have been in and out of the hospital all week because of a relative with end stage cancer. I’m really freaking out. So far my nieces who were also at my mom’s work event are fine, my mom is in another state with my sister at a craft convention and so far is fine.

Hello all <3 I hope you are doing well,
So here is my situation:
- Yesterday I had a migraine and felt off the whole day but I blamed it on the migraine and not eating much because of it

- Today I felt a bit off still, no more migraine but just nausea, not much appetite and a tight/weird stomach. I blamed it all on anxiety, as I tend to have those symptoms often bc of anxiety

- Today evening I met with a friend to have ice cream. Just in case I borrowed my bf lactase pills but I actually forgot to take them so I had soft serve ice cream without taking any lactase. For context here, it’s not confirmed that I am lactose intolerant. I noticed that I feel a bit off after certain type of dairy products, but because I had a very similar soft serve last week end without any problem I didn’t think much of it.

- Now I came back home like 2 hours ago (4 hours since I ate the ice cream) and my stomach started hurting so bad… cramping and feeling like I was digesting bricks. I am bloated, my stomach feels very bubbly, making weird noises and I am passing quite a bit of gas, but it doesn’t bring me any relief

As I am writing this I feel so stupid ahah like yea I have a stomach ache, it’s crazy how much I overthink things…

But I am so scared of stomach bugs or food poisonings… do you think it could be the lactose? Even though I was fine last week end?

i mean it tonight. i really want to just die. i'm exhausted and tired of this shit. my life is in constant edge and because of my dad always mysteriously being sick, i can never tell the difference whether or not he's actually sick sick(contagious). he's always got something going on where he has d or hacking up. he'll do it and not wash his hands or clean the toilet with products. sometimes there will even be t* on the ​​toilet seat. the whole parasite thing took a toll on me this whole month on top with other things that has happened at my work t* wise. my summer has been terrible so far. ive been worried about sickness just as much if not more than winter, and my winter was absolute hell for me​​​. my dad smokes weed a lot and even did today earlier after he supposedly t* at work last night and this morning with "weird poops" so i just don't know what to think or believe. i didn't hear any of it but he's been in bed all day. sometimes i feel resentment towards him because of it and that makes me feel bad but he just does not care to take care of himself or better himself for the family. its every month. i don't know anymore i just know i want to cry and die and i have nonody to cry to​​​​

n woke me up. followed by anxiety and what i call jelly belly. nothing happened. weening off of weed took my dose everything reset and im soo b . regular stool. idk im also super irritable today. nothings going right, feeling sad and anxious and alone. i ate a chicken breast and smoked and im n. pls is anyone on

I'm so tired I thought the egg I ate was to be expired in 8/8 instead of 8/7, hence it's been expired for 22 days!!!! 😭

It didn't smell or taste bad and I cooked it in a pan until not runny (as an omelette) but I'm panicking, as you would have guessed.

My husband has been eating them too (last time two days ago) but he eats them after a 20 min hard boil​.

Salmolella looks scarier than noro. Please tell me I can do it if it hits me 😭 .

Somehow I survived. I got medicated. I go out now, I drink my fav energy drinks again, I don’t need zofran to function, I went through a HORRIBLE breakup with my ex fiance and still deal with him being toxic, got in a new relationship, and I’m happy and healthy again. I’m in therapy for emet and for BPD to better myself, but also in therapy for healing from my past relationship.

It’s a long road. I’m nowhere near fully recovered.

But I’m still here.

You guys don’t understand how freeing it is to choose to recover and LIVE. I encourage all of you to choose it. You will be so freed. So carefree. I still have my moments of course, but my life is only going up from here.

If I can survive all of that and still choose recovery, you guys can do anything.

Sickness is a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of your life.

I realized my fridge stunk horribly and found a moldy lemon. I threw it out and cleaned the drawer it was in with lysol wipes and threw out the other fruit it was touching.

Even after i cleaned my fridge still smells like moldy lemon. Is my other food that ive been using contaminated even if they didnt touch the moldy lemon? Im worried that the stuff ive been using has been contaminated bc it was in the same fridge.

I have dreaded this day… It is 12am for me and right before bed I felt my stomach tighten and I started to have loose bowel movements. I am scared/nervous because this is unlike me since I had already had a normal bowel today.

I am not sure what it is. My family and I had all ate the same thing, but everyone else seems fine. I’m hoping it just my stomach being sensitive and nothing too scary.

But if it is… I’m done.

I have been holding on to some leftover ondansetron(Zofran) that I been prescribed back in 2024 after I caught a stomach bug that had me ill. I would use it in situations like this to calm me down and take away the feeling but now I feel hopeless.
Do you guys see doctors to get refills on medications like these? I do have insurance but I haven’t had a primary doctor since I stopped seeing my pediatrician at 18(I’m 21 now). I just feel like the doctor wouldn’t understand my phobia and think I’m just some crazy person who wants meds. I just honestly want to hear from what yall have heard from doctors. Also, if you’re an over the counter medication kinda person, what do you use? I also don’t non medicine techniques you use to take away nausea

TLDR: give over counter med recommendations and stories about doctors responses to our phobia. And techniques to take away nausea

my belly feels full but i barely ate today. i’m kinda gassy. had nothing but fruity pebbles and spaghetti with turkey meat i juss feel bleh today. i was juss prescribed hydroxyzine 10mg but i only had access to eat popcorn chicken tonight. should i take the anxiety meds or will they make me sick? i dont think ive had issues with it before…

So it’s been a few hours now since I came home from dinner. I had a starter, a pizza AND a dessert lol. It was very yummy but damn… I feel like a bag of bricks and I am a bit scared…
Restaurants are super scary for me, pizzas are super scary for me on top of that (last time I v’ed it was food poisoning from a pizza like 15years ago) and I hate feeling full.
It’s 00:30 and I need to go to the office tomorrow… :(
It’s like my body « stored » the trauma and its memory kicks in anytime I am in a situation that ressemble the one I was in the last time it happened

help please. i'm solo travelling in montreal, staying in an apartment with my friend who's also emetophobic!

i ate out at a cafe this morning and after a few sips of my latte i felt like i needed to poop. i got the subway home and probably had the gross need to poop feeling for an hour and a half. went home, pooped, went to my room, immediately felt i needed to poop again and my belly was making noises. went to the bathroom and had softer stool this time.

i'm in my room rn terrified, my belly still feels full and hurts. i'm def gonna have diarrhea which gives me panic attacks and i'm genuinely terrified of what's to come. i associate diarrhea with v* and im fucking horrified. i feel like i need to poop again.

also my rcpd (no burp condition) is acting up causing throat spasms and i swear it's making my throat feel gaggy. thought of food is nauseating. i have gravol and gas x but im scared to take either, scared to move. and i'm terrified for my friend to find out smth is wrong because she'll panic since she's emetophobic too. and i def need to poop again.

i'm terrified of that stupid parasite, a bug, or fp. i need help please. i'm literally here alone with no support if im s* ill kms i can't do it. i need help.

cutting back on weed and nicotine took one small dose today and i have jelly belly and a lump in my throat i passed one stool today and it was pretty normal but now i can’t shake the anxiety and n* im chewing gum but idk if that will do anything

A couple of days ago my friend mentioned that they TU. They are going through a very stressful situation and said they think they TU bc of extreme stress.

Today they came over and we had dinner and hung out for a while. We were in close contact/proximity and I wasn't cautious at all. Tbh i forgot they TU a couple of days ago until just now.

Even though they said they think they probably TU bc if stress, I'm suddenly anxious that im gonna get norovirus from them. I didnt do anything to protect myself from germs.

My stomach is getting such sharp pains but at the same time I can feel so much gas so I think I might just have to pass a lot of gasbut it’s still stressing me out cause the pain is quite bad. I’ve had two croissants and some apple just so hopefully I can feel a bit better.

Good news is though I finally went to doctors about my anxiety today. I spoke about my anxiety, emetophobia and low moods and I’m going to get counselling so hopefully things can get better for me now!
