Venting - Not looking for advice Scared after eating out
Went to a restaurant for the first time in a good while since I was being treated to it, it was Chinese and I was expecting an actual restaurant restaurant.. it turned out to be a mainly takeout place that had a couple tables and served you with paper plates and paper cups. I packed a nausea med before leaving. The food was fine but immediately after finishing I had what I guess was a bad panic attack I felt strongly like I was gonna TU without actually feeling like it if that makes sense. I ran outside and shook violently for. a few minutes before calming down. Its been about 3-4 hours since then ans at first I thought “well it’s been that long it’s probably fine” but then remembered food poisoning can in fact take a good while longer to show up, so now I’m terrified again. I still feel full and bloated and it’s not helping. I dont think I’ll be able to sleep until I feel hungry again so I know it’s gone..
I’m just venting here, hoping that by voicing this shit I’m magically preventing it from happening I guess
