I feel so abnormal, I get anxious at work and can't eat lunch there. People have commented how I never eat lunch but I'm just so nauseous. I'm getting really fusturated with my anxiety...ugghh

That would be very disconcerting but maybe you should talk to the doctor about the nausea just to make sure something else isn't causing it? Hugs GB

I was anxious at work for many years and learned how to hide it. I made it into sort of a game that people didn't know what I was feeling. However, I was not always successful in finding an outlet for that pent up anxiety. Keep talking here, it will help.

I had read this earlier but couldn't think of a way to share how I cope with this issue on a daily basis.

I use a menu plan, including the place I will sit to eat. That first sensation of nausea passes when I relax, remind myself I have made the decision.

Staying hydrated between meals works so much better to keep the sensation of nausea to a minimum as well. Simple techniques such as tapping the toes inside your shoe can break the usual pattern of thought.

You are not alone in this. Best wishes.

May have mentioned this to you before, but have you had your folate levels checked. I got mine checked along with a MTHFR gene mutation check. I started on the right sort of folate and I'm totally anxiety free. It actually treated the cause rather than just treating the symptom.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
