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...
Haven't had a panic attack in a while! So this took me by complete surprise.. I was kind of overwhelmed from emotional stuff I've been dealing with, Monday, I had a breakdown and tuesday I had a bit of an angry outburst... So today I was having a good day until I was reminded about something that made me sad and then I was eating lunch right? (A turkey burger!) I checked the date on the buns.. april 28th.. not bad, no mold or spots.. Just a little drier than I would like.. I cooked the meat from 1:40 (Aprox) pm to 3:00pm .. I know it was done because it was almost burnt but I picked the one that was lighter on the bottom and started having all these thoughts about what if it wasn't fully cooked.. I took two bites of it and then my stomach started hurting (probably from anxiety) I started shaking.. I started freaking out that the burger wasn't good.. I threw it out and I'm STILL trying to calm down from the outburst.. It was about an hour ago and I'm planning on eating some noodles slowly (I hadn't eaten anything before that burger..)
So, I'm not food poisoned am I? It's just the anxiety talking? I'm still kind of worried..
Help me calm down.

You are not food poisoned..
I do have that kind of thoughts after eating a little bit old stuff.
You cooked the meat enough more than an hour.
Just remember to refrigerate bread or put in freezer for longer shelf life.
I think you are fine. Just try to calm down and eat something now.
Remember, its just an anxiety.. Try to eat soft food like soup when you have stomach upset due to anxiety... Eating fruits like cantaloupe is good to calm you down or drinking chamomile tea.
I occasionally stressing out on what i eat, esp when i eat meat or fish.. I feel like there are some bacteria..lol.. then, my bestfriend is a vegetarian wanna be, that she have chills and feeling sick when she eats meat or any sort of junk food, we always drink carrot and papaya smoothy every morning to detox our body and we drink fresh oregano tea. We literally pick fresh oregano leaves around the condo cause this herb is known to fight stomach bacteria.We just can't stop laughing when we think of how paranoid we are in terms of eating certain food.
And yes, its 5am here, time to start my day, time to make carrot and papaya smoothy.. :)
Hope you feel better soon.
And yes, if you had food poisoning, it would take much longer than 2 bites to know. It hasn't even digested at all at that point....so there is no way it could make you sick.
Your anxiety is trying to tell you something. I hope you listen and take some down time to heal from whatever you went through.
