Hey all. I havent been on the forum in quiet some time. Which is a good thing for me I guess. Im happy to report that my anxiety has decreased by a lot! And I havent freaked over feeling sick in a long while. I have been able to eat again without getting scared of being sick. It is seriously the best feeling in the world. I have had some nights where I feel slightly nauseaous but I dont let it send me in to a full blown panic attack. I am going to Texas in a few weeks with my BF to meet his family and I am a little anxious about this trip! We will be staying with his family and sharing a bathroom! UGH! I worry if I get sick or something. But I am trying really hard to just live in the moment and not worry about what MIGHT happen. I think another reason I have been feeling better is I have been working out 4-5 times a week and with a personal trainer. I am starting to feel better about myself phsyically and I think it helps with my emotional state. And recently, I was over at my Best friends house and she was really upset and crying all day. So we ordered pizza and ate, but then she said she felt so sick. I knew it was from being so emotional. So I went in to the bathroom with her and sat right next to her while she threw up. I actually watched. It was disgusting. But I did okay. I didnt freak out. I couldnt believe it! Its like since then, I realized that its gross but she was fine afterwards. Maybe if I keep trying to desensitize myself I will eventually get over this completely. I dont think Im totally cured because I still fear getting sick myself, but its nice that I dont obsess over it anymore =]
Hope everyone is doing well! Stay strong & positive! xoxox
