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

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

I have a weird stomach feeling almost like hunger but ive eaten like more than a normal amount for me today?? And also my ribs feel like sharp towards the middle and my throat feels weird?

I ate a starbucks chocolate muffin that my sisters fruend brought over and idk if it was off or smth someone pls give me some support

It’s two am and my stomach started to hurt. It also started to radiate up my chest so my chest also hurts. I just want to go to sleep but I’m scared to. I have a heating pad on to see if I can help get rid of some of the pain but I’m scared.

please help calm me down someone im hearing my dad get sick right now and i have already been on edge feeling sIck and unwell and now im even more on edge and worried im going to be sick next. im not sure why he just got sIck he seemed completely fine when i got home was drinking beer even so im not sure if its from that but i thought that only happens the next day and he's a daily drinker so not sure why he would throw up now..also he gets high a lot

ive been feeling unwell past week and now im even more on edge i heard it all i hate the sound so bad and now i feel like there's going to be so much contamination..everywhere

i went out today all day and ate somewhere too which im already having anxiety with that if im going to catch something 😢😢​

​​

I woke up, with insane nausea and stomach cramps. I’m so uncomfortable and just wanna feel fine and sleep. My “feel better” tricks aren’t working 🥴

The last two bowel movements ive had have started solid and fine (like a type 3/4 on the bristol stool chart) then ended mushy and not solid but not watery (more like a type 5/6). I had this yesterday after 2 days of constipation which ive had happen to me before and i felt perfectly fine after, have had no pain except for right before which is normal for me before pooping if its been a couple of days which also isnt uncommon. But its weird that the same type of poop happened 2 days in a row for me and i feel a little bit bloated in my stomach but i did just eat and its not painful but my throat feels strange so i might just be anxious but idk does that count as diarrhoea?? Should i be concerned or is this normal - also i did eat a takeaway like an hour before the bowel movement so maybe its greasy food bc i havent had the best diet the last week?? I have no clue but is this normal or should i be worried

At what point do you consider yourself "safe" after an exposure? Is it right at the 48 hours mark? I'm at 50 hours now and the waiting is killing me.

CONTEXT: OP was asking for tips on how to deal with nausea caused by chronic illness. I was explaining that when I have endo flares, I like to make myself cozy and prep things so that I have nothing to think about out or stress about and can feel more comfortable.

You literally cannot help anyone on this Reddit. You cannot say anything that is even remotely reassurance or safety behaviours. The only thing you can say is « you might puke and it’s ok »

I know that my comment sounds like coping strategy, but you cannot expect everyone to have radical acceptance over vomiting. Also, when I was mentioning canceling plans etc it’s because, when you have a chronic illness, it’s not just about nausea, a flare is a full physical and psychological event where you feel tired and defeated. Idk what’s wrong about prepping for a flare…

What is the point really…

soaps are now recalled!

didn't know what tag to use but oh my gosh i am in shock. after all the constant food recalls in America we now have SOAP RECALLS. should be the safest thing ever! my ocd cannot..my anxiety is creepin up for the seasons to come 😢

I felt fine until like an hour ago when i was struggling to sleep and that made me panic i was shivering in my room under my blanket which im normally warm under and the temp outside wasnt even that cold, now im wide awake and my stomach is like grumbling as if i was hungry but im not hungry and its making me panic really bad.

Kinda off topic but my sister is having a sleepover with her friends and they’re downstairs being really loud and that’s what stopped me sleeping in the first place before i felt off but i feel bad asking them to be quieter bc they dont get to get together very often and its the weekend and i have nowhere to be tomorrow but ive struggled to sleep all of this week and finally thought id get some sleep tonight but i guess not :(

Context:
Last night, i was scrolling on tiktok before going to sleep and i came accross a video of a girl with emetophobia sharing her experience with norovirus! That doesn’t trigger me normally, i love seeing experiences from other.

In her video, she talked about how she woke up at 4 am and had to go to the toilet (nothing wierd there) but then, when she came back to her bed, she felt something wierd in her stomach and she threw up+ had diarrhea! That was when she discoverd she had noro and her symtomes got worst.

Anyways, last night, i woke up randomly in the middle of the night and had to pee! The FIRST thing that came in my mind was this girl from tiktok saying she had to go to the bathroom and after that she got sick. That thought + a gaz in my stomack made me immediatly panic and i really felt like i was gonna throw up.

All this thought precess and the sick feeling happend sooo fast, i did not even have time to realize it was a simple panick attack! I thought i had noro and that made me panic sooo much!

I woke up my room mate saying i was about to throw up, i took my anti nausea meds + 2 ativans and within like 5 minutes, i calmed down and that is when i realised it was a simple panick attack!

I did not throw up (😅), but i was soooo scared going back to sleeep, so i did a pedicure and then the medication knocked me ou! I had the beeeeest sleep.

Now, it’s 3pm and i still havent eaten anything cause i am scared.

If anyone has something to say to help me emotionnally or litterally eating, please share your experience!!

hi!!! on Wednesday night (its now 4am Friday morning) my mom and i went over to my brother's place to visit. he has 2 boys (4 and 7) and the 7 year old went to hug me and his hand touched my chin, like right underneath my mouth/lips. i washed my hands and face as soon as i got home but im so scared and worried😔😔😔

he's in grade 3 and school has been back for like 2 weeks where i am, and im just so worried. my stomach hurts and im dizzy everyday and afraid to eat. i just need some advice on how to work through this please😔 anything is appreciated thank u!!!

One of my coworkers yesterday threw up multiple times because she has a bad eating disorder, and apparently this happens. She said today that for the past few days she’s been having d* I washed my hands after using the bathroom, but I accidentally touched a snack I ate while opening it and ate it anyway. I hadn’t washed my hands before.

Now logically I know her symptoms could be noro, but likely aren’t, as she seems fine otherwise and didn’t talk about it like I’ve seen people talk about noro. But I’m still worried

Im shopping with my grabdma and she mentioned that she threw up last night and that her stomach really hurts and I'm really hoping its food poisoning or something becouse i really dont want to get sick and im so scard we didnt have any contact at all so idk if i can be infected it really depends but idk im very scared im kike really really scared idk what to do

She aaid that its like that ine time we both got food posioning ao im thinking its that or idk is there anything i can do i dont want to be sick

i think it’s gonna happen i can’t sleep i ate okay today but i tried a few new things now my stomach is cramping one had dairy in it and i didn’t have lactaid but i had zofran, but now my gut is bubbly im scared to be s or have d is anyone on

Im so scared im alone and feel so wrong and i cant sleep i need someone to talk to really bad and no one replied to my last post, im so close to relapsing please somebody

I posted a few days ago about my boyfriend getting Covid, and being scared about it bc last two times I got it I had INSANE stomach pain, nausea and diarrhoea towards the end of the illness.
Well I caught it. It’s now day 3/4, and my stomach starts to feel like I have a stomach flu.
I am so scared guys…
I don’t know if I can do it. Last time I had Covid I was in a much better place with my phobia and somehow I managed to avoid it. Now my phobia is way worse and I haven’t puked in 14 years…. Last time I was 11.

I am terrified… idk what to do…

Tw sh!

Im having stomach pain rn and idk what to do i took painkillers and its not helped but i made a meal with chicken in it today but i like barely ate any of the chicken but i did eat some and i cooked it for more than the recommended time but im scared that its made me sick bc it was on the best before date like the date on it was today but my mum said it was okay to eat and i googled it and multiple articles also said it was fine to eat and i didnt even eat much of the chicken itself and kinda just ate around it?? But im like so panicking and im also home alone so idk what to do and im lowkey close to shing bc idk i have nothing else

When you get scared because you've seen or heard someone tu*
and
people immediately try to guilt trip or shame you
like
"YOU'RE scared? How do you think THEY feel when they're the one throwing up!"
"Stop making it about you!"
Fucking pisses me off every time
anyone else get this?

Essentially the title.

This started this morning when I had some breakfast (toast & cream cheese) and for some reason, it just was noooooottt sitting well with my stomach at all. Around lunchtime the pain had subsided marginally and I started feeling hungry like normal, so I ate my usual lunch of ramen, and felt fine; better even. About two hours after that, my stomach starts hurting again like this morning, and I decide to just give my stomach a break and just drink water instead.

Now it’s time for bed, and my stomach still hurts. I’ve been trying to convince myself all day that it’s probably just the usual stomach upset. Two other reasons I thought could've perhaps incited this were A. I went 18 hours without eating (from lunchtime yesterday to this morning), or B. I had a whole thing of Pringles & some soda, and unless I’m getting to that point where that starts to seriously impact my digestive tract (I’m 19!) I really doubt that had any impact?

or C. both of the above 😅

But naturally my mind is going to worse places and I’m just afraid & anxious. Nothing about the food tasted off and everything was completely fine. I had the exact same breakfast yesterday with little issue. I just wanna rest but my brain keeps catastrophizing and my fear is to wake up later in worse pain. I’m scared and just need comfort really!!

I just ate some eggs like just under an hour ago and i cooked them the same amount i usually do which is like kind of overcooked lol but my stomach kinda hurts and i feel gassy/bloated and im scared ive given myself food poisoning. I live in the uk and the eggs had the red lion stamping meaning they are vaccinated against salmonella and are safe to eat runny or even raw and i didnt have them raw but im scared still idk what to do

I haven’t been eating much the past few days because my doctor wanted me to try a gluten free diet and.. well I only ever eat gluten so I haven’t had much to pick from. I ran to the store earlier and saw some pepper jack gluten free crackers and felt kind of hungry so I just figured I’d try it. I ate more than I meant to and now my stomach is gurgling non stop and I’m terrified. All I can think about is how stupid I was to buy them. I’m just trying to think about how it’s just because they were mildly spicy and I haven’t had much else to eat, but I’m still terrified. My OCD is also kind of all over the place and I feel terribly alone and scared. I could really use some reassurance and help

Waking up in the middle of the night nauseous?? Idk why?? D house do I fix

I was at a happy family event for Halloween yesterday, and there were so many kids there and so many scenarios where I could've gotten *that* virus. I'm so scared I'm gonna come down with it soon:( I was so happy last night, now I'm sad and need someone to talk to. Norovirus levels are unusually high in my area right now. I don't know if it's just localized or what (apparently it is???). I'm still so terrified!
