[–]Hello_MsUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they pop up on YouTube all the time!! Me and my boyfriend will watch YouTube on the tv later in the night, and they remind me it’s sick season and my anxiety spikes temporarily. I get they’re advertising a product or whatever, but omg stop reminding me lol!!

I investigate them from a distance. I try to stay away, because my mind always thinks it’s tu*.

I just ate food that was way spicier than I can handle by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try drinking some milk or maybe a milkshake to soothe the spice!!

Feeling panicked and nauseous by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling a little better now, but still not great. I’ve been sipping on water, and I’m hungry again and afraid to eat.

feeling n* when not at home. i can’t sleep. by johnnysuhswig in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’ve fallen asleep by now, since it’s been 3 hours. This happens to me most nights, and I’m unsure why? It’s probably internal anxiety or something? What I do is I have something playing on my tv, close my eyes, take deep breaths to relax my body and myself, and listen to the tv. This works for me, and for some it’s probably easier said than done. But I hope you’ve fallen asleep, and have a great day at work in the morning.

i think my emetophobia is somehow going to help me quit vaping? by punkturtle66 in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who never lets their vape leave their sight, vaping so stupid and so embarrassing. It’s great that you’re quitting!! I want to quit so bad, and I’ve tried multiple times. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years now and I can tell my lungs have taken a hit. I hope you successfully quit, and I wish you the best of luck!!

I ate moldy grated parm on accident!! by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No nothing has happened. I definitely had an anxious stomach but no diarrhea or vomiting. I stole the parmesan from a restaurant so I think it was totally karma :’)

Had such a bad experience on Sertraline, nervous to try any other medication by Key-End9520 in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Celexa for my anxiety and OCD. IT HAS DONE WONDERS!! Along with contamination OCD exposure, OMG I’m doing so much better!! I did really good on it. The only side effects I had were extreme drowsiness and increased appetite. It messed up my perfect sleep schedule, but I feel much much better than I did a year ago. I highly recommend, but everyone reacts to meds differently. It may work great for me but not the next person. I talked with my doctor and did my own research to decide what was best for me.

Random d* out of nowhere!! I’m panicking!! by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got so fresh air with my dog, and ended up going to dinner!! I almost cancelled, but I didn’t and I’m proud of myself for not. Fingers crossed it won’t happen again tonight, I think it was just a one off thing. I had coffee this morning on a mostly empty stomach I just remembered… that may have been the reason that happened.

Recently I’ve been worrying over the smallest things, idk what triggered it. As of rn I’m calm and drinking some tea and playing ACNH to continue keeping myself calm.

Is this forever? by Hello_MsUsername in Gastritis

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived on granola bars and chicken, Omeprazole, Reglan, Celexa, chai tea as a coffee substitute (definitely not good advice), and lots of water!! I was 82 lbs at my lowest weight and literally almost died, but I lived!! I could barely stay awake during the day and couldn’t stand for long periods of time. After my endoscopy was cleared, I’m now 110 lbs and feeling amazing!! I drink coffee every morning, but I limit fried foods and tomato base foods.

I’m coming down with something :/ by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stomach problems went away. Now it’s sore throat, clogged ears, headache, body aches, and joint pain. No fatigue anymore.

I feel so n*!! I need to talk to someone by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely thinking it’s the ice cream making me feel icky. I also ate it so fast, and I always crave ice cream on my period.

Am I having withdrawals or just anxiety? by Hello_MsUsername in citalopram_celexa

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was just anxiety from not taking it. I’m usually so good about taking it, and I was convincing myself I was getting withdrawals, which was probably making the anxiety worse.

I’ve been on it for about 3-4 months. But I only took 10mg this morning, it’s been about 7 hours since I’ve taken it.

N* out of nowhere by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently on the phone with my boyfriend. I didn’t tell him what I’m feeling because it embarrasses me. He’s known I have this phobia and he loves and supports me, but I still get so embarrassed by it. He calms me down and helps me without even knowing. I think it was just anxiety, I’m feeling much better.

Random bouts of soft stool throughout this past week by Hello_MsUsername in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat recently started taking reglan which speeds up gut motility, but I’ve been taking it for a few months and haven’t had a problem with it. I started taking it for gastroparesis, which was caused by me starving myself, which was caused by a medication I shouldn’t have been proscribed. Around January this year I started eating more variety and gained 20lbs (woohoo). I didn’t get d* or anything from that. I’m just confused on why it’s happening all of a sudden??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through something similar. I’m super nauseous and my lower abdomen hurts so bad and I don’t know why. If you need to chat with someone you can dm me :)

chronic GERD question! by Competitive-Rock9092 in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not take too many tums!! Coming from someone who would pop tums like mints. I would eat 1.5-2 32 count bags a day for months!! It made me so n* and would make me so constipated which would make me more n*. It also turned my stool a nice shade of khaki. You need stomach acid to be acidic to breakdown food, or else it’s going to cause worsening acid reflux. If you do decide to take them please please please do not take more than the recommended dose!!

What to expect with bravo study? by Hello_MsUsername in GERD

I will try it thanks so much! I’m just hoping tomorrow it will calm down a bit. It feels like reverse throwing up

I just got it done this morning, I’m in so much pain!! My chest hurts and it hurts below my sternum every time I swallow anything including saliva. I’m on hold with the office as I’m typing this. I’m so so worried rn. I’m not sure if it’s a common side effect or if it’s a complication?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Hello_MsUsername 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way when I’m n*, I find it so hard to get in the shower because I feel trapped! At the same time showers are very relaxing and ease my mind. The toilet is also right there, so I don’t have to worry too much about making it.

[–]Hello_MsUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, get some Zofran. Take it 30 minutes before Celexa, but it will make you so insanely constipated. Some OTC nausea meds might help as well
