this HAS to stop
since the last time that i ended up having a panic attack and dry heaving, it happened again yesterday while i was eating. it just happened AGAIN about a half hr ago while i was snacking on crackers. this is 100% complete torture. everytime i eat something, is this going to happen to me? im terrified to eat. everytime i do, i have to take a xanax otherwise i wont be able to eat more than a few bites and i wont eat. i have my OB appointment in about an hour and i really hope they can help me. having to drive there alone scares the hell out of me. when this had happened before, about 2 years ago, my doctors were so concerned they wanted me to stay in the hospital and get on a feeding machine because if something wasnt going to change i would not make it. they said my organs were going to completely shut down, and thats about the time i had the minor heart attack. i dont want to go back there, i dont want this to happen again. i know its so important for me to eat, but when i do this happens...and when i get those horrible side effects from it all these old feelings come back, like wanting to self injure to make myself feel better (which i havent done in about 6 months). but i wont, i CANNOT bring myself to do that again. im so exhausted from this, from not eating, and from when i do getting these attacks that mess up my whole day and my whole body. i just want a moment of peace. sometime after my appointment, my mom and i are going to go to the hospital where my grandpa is at and visit.

Honey you need to talk to your doctor. just remember that these feeling CANNOT AND WILL NOT hurt you. I know they are very scary, but just remember the worst thing to happen will be throwing up. I know that is bad enough, but you have to find a way to deal with the anxiety. I am going to message you on a couple of tricks that i used with my OB/GYN patients. hope it helps.
remember i am always here for you, day or night.
love,
