I had an anxiety setback yesterday and early this morning. I’d been doing very well and then thoughts of the following things all bombard me at once:
1 I’m gaining weight and eating and drinking too much.
2 I don’t have enough time to exercise.
3 It’s going to be a very busy and stressful week at work.
4 My grandma suddenly became ill yesterday
5 My inlaws’ house is nasty and my OCD makes me dread going there
6 I have flashbacks of my old job and how I’ll go back if I screw up with my current job.
I could barely eat dinner last night and I felt sick to my stomach and had a flushed, hot feeling face. I felt really weighed down and brain fogged for the first time in a long time from the anxiety.
I slept okay but woke up feeling horrible. I had tingling hands and toes and I felt like I was going to throw up. My heart was racing despite still being in bed. I took a lorazepam and did some deep breathing exercises before leaving for the day. I still felt nauseous while eating breakfast. My anxiety has zapped my appetite and made me afraid of going to restaurants in the past. I hope I’m not going down that road again!
My appetite goes both ways with anxiety. Sometimes I can’t stop eating, other times just the thought of eating makes me feel sick. It’s very confusing.
