Confused and scared

[hollyjean]

Hi everyone, i was hoping someone could give me a bit of reassurance.


Yesterday i was feeling a bit off, i cooked breakfast because i was starving, then only ate two bites because i felt funny. At lunch, same thing happened. Then last night my parents picked me up from uni and by the time i got home was starving so we got chinese takeaway which was great and i ate loads!


today i had lunch about two and half hours ago. I had a weight watcher packet meal which was chicken and potatoe wedgies in a tomato sauce. I ate it all. Now i feel starving hungry again and im scared. Last time i v* i felt hungry right before so im scared thats what it is now. I dont know what feeling sick really is, and since i cant be hungry im scared that this might be it. Iv got bit of stomach pain also, maybe i need to go to the toilet soon, but this is really freaking me out.


i am now eating mints to try and settle my stomach. my stomach feels all churny. I only have one stemetil antiemetic tablet and i dont know if i should take it or save it. Im all alone at the moment and just need some reassurance.


this is all my stupid bfs fault. He told me ages ago that you canstill feel hungry after you have eaten if you are sick and that when this happens to him he always v* and now i cant get this stupid thing out of my head!

I think that you are honestly just hungry... It doesn't sound like you ate that much. HOw about eatting some fresh fruit or something.. it's light and it's good for you but I think you do need to get something healthy in your system.


I notice that before I v*, I KNOW.. like I feel soooooooo bad... not funny. SO I'm sure that you are fine... but now you're nervious which is continueing this to happen..


eat girl

Just eat if you are hungry. I agree with tayda, when I'm S*** then I feel really really bad

Thank you so much for replying. I actually cannot eat any fruit, it always makes me gag, i dont know why. The only fruit i eat is tomatos if its in a sauce, im wierd i know.


What makes this phobia so bad for me is that i really do not know what feeling sick really is. Everyone says you will know when its going to happen but i honestly dont. I have been sick only twice in my lifetime that i can remember. The first time i started to in my sleep then woke up half way through. The second time i was really hungry, went to get something to eat, then v* in the kitchen.


Hunger is normally a comfort for me if i know that there is nothing in my stomach. my dad always tells me that you dont feel sick for a long time, it just happens so since iv been feeling like this for a while, i think it would havre happened by now, well i hope so anyway :S Im going to hold out for a little while and if it gets worse, i will know that its hunger.


people tell me things and i just latch onto them. It was like two years ago that my boyfreind said that and i still cannot let go of it someone please tell me he is wrong

He is wrong. Oh, and whenever I eat Weight Watchers meals, I get hungry right away because they are not enough food! (At least for a pig like me!) I bet you are just still hungry. You'll be okay.

I'm my experience, i've never felt hungry before i've been s***

[hollyjean]

Thank you so much everyone, i loose all logic when i feel ill. If it were someone else, i would be giving out loads of reassurance! I have eaten a packet of crisps since then also, i had to take some headache tablets a while ago and i cannot swallow them without food in my mouth also so i had some crisp with it.


I hate this, i really cannot determine any feeling in my stomach. I used to be anorexic because i couldnt deal with any stomach feelings. Sometimes i wish i could be sick so i would know how it feels, but then i get angry at myself for even thinking that!

I'll tell you one thing - I was dreading being ill for years because it hadnt happened to me for a long long time then when it happened recently - it wasnt as bad as i thought - not that i'm over my emet - its just wasnt as bad as I imagined it to be

Holly,


I am glad you are feeling better! I tried to IM you on MSN, but it's not working for some reason, even though it says you are online! Weird!
