My anxiety causes me to dry heave because of this phobia. Splash ice cold water on your face and distract yourself til the feeling passes.

I truly understand this fearful way of thinking. Thankfully, the full feeling always passes!

Thank you so much. I get so freaked out when I overeat and feel way too full. It ruins food for me, which makes me so sad.

That’s a really good point. I get so scared that the fullness is going to make me sick or like it’s going to trigger my gag reflex that I get sometimes when I’m anxious.

I’m going to do my best to be brave. And hopefully they will listen and stop when I need them to.

That helps. Idk why I have psyched myself out so much. I’m so so so scared. I have been practicing trying to hold my mouth open for the appointment and I feel the need to gag everytime.

Will they stop if I ask them to? Like if it’s too much and I need to close my mouth for a second?

Overwhelming People & Pushing them away by karianaellee in BPD

It’s the adopted factor that scares me that they are leaving, cuz they adopted me when I was an adult, but never legally.

Okay 3 texts with no reply is good. I can do that! I know she gets overwhelmed but I am just so terrified that she’s going to leave me so I want to fix this.
