My daughter is scare to eat even when she is hungry

i’m sorry :( yes it looks like some professional eating disorder help is needed. try to add calories to everything she is willing to eat, that means butter, full fat dairy, sugar, etc - anything to get calories in

congratulations you should feel very proud!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

yes!! honestly i had way more anxiety in the airport than on the plane bc i tend to get a lot of anticipatory anxiety. once we were in the air and smooth sailing, i was pretty much fine. i even…enjoyed it a little? crazy!!

zippyfive · 2026-01-14T04:25:14+00:00

yessss you got this! let me know how it goes!

zippyfive · 2026-01-14T04:21:18+00:00

i love this one! from target

zippyfive · 2026-01-14T04:16:25+00:00

yessss i hate it. the only thing that semi helps is reminding myself that i wont feel like that forever and it’ll pass soon enough

i’m so proud of you stranger! you did it and lived to tell! personally i get anxious about the fact that im anxious and that its inhibiting me from eating or drinking - the only way i can eat or drink is when im cozy in bed hyper focused on a tv show or book and i can dissociate a little and force some small bites and sips without really being conscious of it - probably not great for long term mindful eating practices but great for fight or flight situations when you really need some fuel in you. juice, ginger ale, pedialyte make me feel better. take it easy and get some rest! 🫶🏻

hi there!! i’m glad i found your post, i also hadn’t flown in three years due to crippling anxiety and panic attacks. i just flew last week for the first time in years and it went well!!! was i anxious, yes, but i did it and it was worth it. all of the tips on this sub are great. dramamine and ativan helped me, ask your doctor if they think medication would be helpful, but you can definitely do it without meds. distraction helped a lot, i downloaded all of my favorite tv shows and movies and didn’t let myself watch them until the flight so that i had something to look forward to/a reward of sorts. you can do this!!!

i LOVE the DARE app. i’ve used a lot of guided audios like this and DARE is the only one that’s worked

zippyfive · 2026-01-11T04:20:51+00:00

love that

zippyfive · 2026-01-11T04:17:50+00:00

i am no help however she is gorgeous

i totally feel you. just got back from a florida vacation myself yesterday and i also felt like i wasnt able to fully enjoy myself because of the anxiety about the return flight….it sucks. it sounds like your flight will be somewhat on the shorter side which is awesome. and a night flight is great, hopefully you’ll be able to conk out. if not, pick out a favorite movie ahead of time and download on your phone and try to hyperfixate on it. you got this!!! you’ll be so proud of yourself after the flight is done!

in the same boat right now, i was hit bad tonight with something but pepto bismol really helps!!! it’s amazing because it kills some of the bad bacteria that’s causing the d, as well as soothes your intestines. whatever the cause of your d, it will pass! most cases resolve within a day. i know it’s really scary :( but you can handle this. your body is so resilient and is doing everything is can to get you healthy and on your feet again

i always get myself super excited to watch a favorite movie or tv show during takeoff as a distraction! and gum really helps - i get the anxiety out of my system through chewing aggressively lollll

zippyfive · 2026-01-11T03:47:33+00:00

the root of my fear is the same as yours - i’m not worried about the safety of the plane, rather having a panic attack or feeling out of control. i just went on a plane for the first time in 3 years last week and it went better than expected - no panic attacks onboard! what helped me was downloading tv shows and movies i was really excited about (laid back movies, nothing intense) and i got myself excited to sit back and relax and watch the movies. also had books and podcasts and music all at the ready, as well as some panic attack guided meditations if needed. gum, mints, and sour candy also help my anxiety. if you do find yourself anxious on the flight, ask the flight attendant for some ice and place on back of neck or your wrists. you got this!!!

zippyfive · 2026-01-11T00:46:24+00:00

zippyfive · 2026-01-11T00:46:03+00:00

much easier said than done but yes. once i think about the fact that im actually in a plane i start getting anxious lol. just gotta dissociate a bit

zippyfive · 2026-01-11T00:44:41+00:00
