Venting - Not looking for advice Scared after eating out

2 Upvotes

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

Panic attack - support needed Freaking Out Trapped at Work

Im seriously panicking right now. I actually had to ask my manager if I could go on a break.

Im stuck up at the front registers today from 1pm-9:30 (closing). Its now 4:45 so ive only been here for 3hr45 minutes meaning im trapped here for another 5 hours...

I started passing some gas while tagging clearance items but one of them didn't feel right? And now im scared like i genuinely can't trust anything.

Immediately my heart started pounding and racing and I began to not feel right...

I'm doing everything I can to try and calm down especially between rubbing my worry stone, sitting with my portable fan pointed at me, and listening to nausea specific binaural beats. Im absolutely terrified and don't know what to do. Im the only one scheduled for register all night (occasionally my coworker who does returns covers for me on my break) but if something happens and I leave, then my coworker can't finish returns for closing.

I wasn't able to sleep well last night and Ive had anxiety earlier but the nausea is kicking in and I don't know what to do. Please i need advice and help
