Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Last night I had a BBQ sandwich and then a couple of hours later I felt hungry like I hadn't eaten in DAYS, It was this hunger pang that wouldn't go away, it didn't even go away after I ate again... It sort of felt worse...
Before dinner last night I had a mucus problem, I had to keep constantly clearing my throat because it was bugging me so much, I also got water up my nose before that mucus problem if that makes a difference at all... I'm really freaking out because this is also leading to a terrible disgusting feeling in my stomach.... It's such a gross over full feeling that sort of feels like a hunger feeling but it doesn't go away with eating, or water... or sleeping.
So I woke up today with the same feeling, my throat is really irritated and I thought it was because of my constant clearing but i haven't been clearing my throat and the pain hasn't cleared up at all in any way, it's tight and hard to swallow, Which is also another reason I can't eat.....
I'm really scared because I felt this feeling last summer when I was under a lot of stress, I didn't have the throat pain or the sinus pain that just started happening in the last hour or so... I thought I had an ulcer last summer because the feeling in my stomach, it took a really long time for it to go away, I'm also under a lot of stress the past few weeks and haven't been eating that much because money is tight..
I'm really freaked out, will I ever feel okay again?

I don't know if that's what's going on for you but some of your symptoms line up with a friend of mine who has Celiacs.
It's very likely that whatever this is, it will pass and you'll feel better soon. But it's not healthy to go hungry and often healthy foods are inexpensive - if you go to a farmer's market at the end of the day, often they'll give you food so they don't have to cart it back. Rice and split peas or lentils from the bulk bins at a health food store are affordable as well. A lot of grocery stores also often have an area where they mark down foods that are a bit older or slightly damaged. You can ask someone who works there if they have things they will be tossing at the end of the day. And there are food banks as well and they can often help.
I've started keeping a notebook of things that help me to feel better with chronic conditions that I have because I don't remember what helped! That way, the next time this comes up for you you can provide yourself with some comfort and have a good game plan.
