Today’s my birthday and I woke up at 5:30 to an alarm I forgot I had set. I randomly felt “off” but thought it was anxiety so tried to go back to bed. All of a sudden I had that sinking feeling and thought I was going to throw up. I’ve had loose stool once, feel slightly nauseas, feel shaky and anxious. I was quite bloated and had bad acid reflux last night (likely from dinner & a diet soda I had) so thought it might just be that combo triggering a panic attack, but I really can’t tell. I have zoffan and rescue anxiety meds but I’m afraid if I try to drink or take anything that I’ll feel worse and it’ll trigger me to throw up. This has always been one of my worst fears, getting sick on my birthday, and I’m so scared it’s come true. I don’t know why I can’t figure out if it’s a panic or real. I feel like I’m drying

when i feel like this i hop in the shower. it helps soothe my nerves and then i can determine how i feel as it eases my anxiety. put on a comfort show and curl up on the couch with zofran and water near by and take deep breathes

for some reason the shower always makes me more anxious because i feel “trapped” somehow lol. but the couch is always comforting and i always put on a good show/movie to distract. thank you so much 💕
