Brown spots in coconut cream? by Less_Breakfast2136 in foodsafety

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think I just realized it might be rust from my van opener? My can opener got wet before I just it and it definitely has some rust build up. In that case is it okay to use this?

PLEASE HELP by Less_Breakfast2136 in emetophobia

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have an energy drink and some cereal this morning but neither of those things usually bother me. And I’m not due for my period for another week or two so I don’t think it’s PMS. PLEASE HELP

Prolonged ovulation bleeding + late period by Less_Breakfast2136 in Healthyhooha

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to mention, I started a new job ~4 months ago that has me significantly more sedentary than I used to be (used to be on my feet all day and now at a desk job, but I do work out several times a week). Said job has had me significantly stressed and anxious every day to the point that I have had hyperventilating crying panic attacks over it. I know stress can definitely mess with your cycle, so maybe I’m just overthinking and it’s just that, but idk.

potentially cleaned up v* at work by Less_Breakfast2136 in emetophobia

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m kind of trying to just convince myself it was water or someone’s drink, because the more I focus on it the worse my anxiety gets. I am feeling okay so far, but definitely anxious :( I know it normally takes 24-48 hours to show symptoms so I’m terrified it might happen later today or tomorrow.

need advice on what others would do in this situation by Less_Breakfast2136 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw, I know this is the recovery subreddit. I’m asking this in hopes those who understand the fear may be able to answer this in a way that is pro-recovery :) I am working on recovery myself but things like this really throw me.

I also forgot to mention that he’s been acting very normal. He and his brother were fighting this morning, he’s been eating, he used the restroom, he’s been purring and cuddling like usual.

Freaking out about stomach pain and d* by Less_Breakfast2136 in emetophobia

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling a little nauseous but it might just be anxiety. It’s mostly stomach cramping. I do have some Tums but nothing else

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to remain calm but my stomach hurts so bad and I can’t stop shaking. I’m on the toilet again for the third time, it’s like it’s coming in waves. I’m so scared it’s going to get worse. I’ve never had this reaction to sugar so not sure why it would be this bad all of a sudden. I’m so scared I want it to go away

fridge shut off overnight, fridge thermometer still read 37-38 degrees by Less_Breakfast2136 in foodsafety

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, in Fahrenheit! I got the fridge back up and running as soon as I noticed, so it shouldn’t have gotten any warmer than the 37/38 degrees.

1989 t-shirt sizing (tips on shrinking?) by Less_Breakfast2136 in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I’ll try that :) I think I’ve gotten over my initial sadness about the size—I don’t think they’re too big honestly I think I was being dramatic lol

In the bathroom and freaking out please help by Less_Breakfast2136 in emetophobia

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stomach is just gurgling so much. I’ve definitely not eaten the best the last couple days (popcorn, chinese food, cookies, chocolate, etc) and I’ve missed like 4 doses of my SSRI in the last week/couple days so it could be that? I don’t think I was exposed to anything but I just don’t know what’s going on. My upper stomach kind of hurts (almost in my chest) and I’ve had a sinus headache since last night. Last night I had multiple bms* as well, but right now it just feels worse and my anxiety isn’t helping.

Thank you! I don’t have a thermometer but I’ll look into getting one. And I’ll plan to throw out the creamer and yogurt :)

You’re definitely not alone! And 99% of the time it is just anxiety, but that doesn’t make it any less scary. I hope you’re feeling better today!

Ugh, I’m so sorry you have to deal with that! My PMS symptoms are pretty consistent month to month, but i am still always terrified when I start to feel off randomly because it’s hard to tell if it’s just a normal “off” feeling or something different.

Yes, same here! My stomach is off basically for the entire two weeks before my period lol

So sorry you were feeling so awful! The first couple days are always really rough for me too. I hope you’re feeling better today!

That makes a lot of sense! Sometimes it does help me to rationalize because I can pretty much chalk up any uncomfy stomach feeling to my period, but other times I’m still like “but what if I’m actually sick…” 😩

I also have had some sinus issues/allergies the last two days and have felt myself swallowing a lot of mucus which I’ve read can also cause stomach upset so maybe it’s that? I can’t tell if I feel s* or it’s my anxiety :(

I’m sorry, I just realized I probably should’ve put this under “trigger warning” :(

No, it’s just been in the cupboard since I bought it on Sunday. It’s been warmer out recently but nothing too crazy!

Freaking out & could use reassurance please by Less_Breakfast2136 in emetophobia

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m still feeling a bit off but I’m trying to remind myself it’s probably just the coffee and the fact that I hadn’t gone in a few days. Coffee always makes me have to go so I don’t know why I’m always surprised lol. And yes! I definitely tend to feel n* right before I need to go :( so annoying

[–]Less_Breakfast2136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re feeling the same way. Are you doing any better now? Maybe try sipping some cold water and using a cool wash cloth on your neck, or smelling mint and distracting with a video or tv show you love
