I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I’m so blessed, it’s almost scary. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh.

if your stomach’s sensitive because of anxiety, by all means spread out the food you eat over the course of the day instead of having large meals, just don’t…not eat.  you will go into hypoglycemic shock and that will suck.

By the way, symptoms include:

  • Shakiness.
  • Nervousness or anxiety.
  • Sweating, chills and clamminess.
  • Irritability or impatience.
  • Confusion, including delirium.
  • Rapid/fast heartbeat.
  • Lightheadedness or dizziness.
  • Hunger and nausea.

(because of the nausea, eating might not feel like the thing to do at first.  I’d suggest drinking a coke or something.)

I’ve dealt with sugar crashes before and I’ve collapsed and whited out.  I’ve had friends do it too.  If you think you’re going into hypoglycemic shock, and if there’s anyone else near by, tell them you think it’s happening, even if you’re not prone or it’s never happened before.  If your’e alone, make your way slowly to the kitchen/wherever you have food/drinks.  The standard rule is to take in 15 oz of a sugary drink (orange juice and soda–not diet–are the best) and wait 15 minutes to see if it’s over, then keep doing that until your sugar is stabilized.  Then you can eat.  If you think you’re about to collapse, especially if you start to feel dizzy, sit down and lay down or lean against something.  Don’t risk injury, it’s better to pass out while you’re laying down than it is to collapse and hurt yourself.

*points at this more educated person*

If you are having trouble eating please keep in mind the BRATY diet.  Bananas, Rice, Apple sauce, Toast, and (sometimes) Yogurt. These foods have been shown to be harder to throw up. By no means should this be the primary diet, but this can assist in the between times when it’s harder to keep things down.

this was really helpful

As someone who has a super nervous stomach this is super useful!!

This is V IMPORTANT

I never knew about hypoglycemic shock. Ive experienced it VERY FREQUENTLY without knowing what it was or why I was having it or if it was serious. Ive passed out from it before bc I didnt know what to do and didnt tell anyone. Bless this post.

If you need to eat, put a few dashes of bitters in tap water that’s room temperature. Cold water shocks your stomach and the bitters will balance out the acidity in your stomach. Ginger is amazing for this too. (Not ginger ale. You need real ginger.) I had a horrible episode that lasted a week and a waitress suggested that mix and it finally got me eating again.

Wow, this is incredible to learn; I also have a hard time eating because the idea of eating while anxious equals nausea but I also don’t want to not eat

I didn’t even know that was my body shutting down. I just thought it was because of my antidepressants or something that I was so dizzy and couldn’t take food. Thank you guys so so much for this information. Now I feel like I can take care of myself better.

This is such important information and I did not have it before. Thank you so much.
