Hello everyone,
I'll try to make this short, so for about 3 months or so my appetite hasn't been completely normal (caused by anxiety and stress) which has caused me to feel sick most mornings- causing gagging or actually throwing up- and my appetite has seemed to decrease. Dont get me wrong I am still eating but I now tend to miss breakfast as I feel too sick and dont eat as much through the day. Anyway, because I've paid attention to it for so long I'm scared it wont go away, like when I see food now I get the thought that I wont be able to eat it all and that sets me off feeling full and quite sick. I have learnt to live with it and I guess it's bothered me less than it did at the start but the problem is that I'm doing a foreign exchange in a couple of weeks meaning I have to live in a foreigners house for a week, eating the meals they cook and sleeping in their room etc. I'm so scared now that I wont be able to enjoy it at all because I'll be too anxious about eating. As per usual, I'm overthinking and now I'm thinking that I might not be able to eat AT ALL so I'll have to go to a foreign hospital or something. I hate this so much!! I just wish I could enjoy something without all the 'what ifs' 😥
Anyways, thanks for reading. What do you think I should do? I need to do it but I'm just awfully nervous, I'd really appreciate any response!
Thanks
