To be a bit scared

[Barbiepringle]

I always struggle with eating when I’m anxious and I am very anxious at the moment.
Since Monday I’ve had one plain biscuit and half a slice of toast.
I called the doctor yesterday and they prescribed sertraline but it takes a little while to kick in. i asked them to see me but they said the next appointment was 9th August.
I am now being sick and my stomach is upset. My BMI at the start of the week was around 19 and I think I’ve lost 5lbs since then.

My heart feels too fast.
I am a bit scared.

You can buy ensure from a chemist. You can phone ahead. When I've had a loss of appetite I've had them and soup, out of a cup because my body then sees it less as food.

If you're a T1 diabetic and this 'Since Monday I’ve had one plain biscuit and half a slice of toast' is true, very hearty congratulations on not being dead.

Get off MN and get to A&E.

Are you still injecting your insulin?

Actually, what I meant to say was, surely you're not still injecting your insulin - if your intake of food is essentially nil?

How is your diabetes doing? Maybe contact 111 over the weekend if your sugars and control is out of whack and you can’t eat? It makes more of a difference than the rest of us and it’s ok to ask for help if your mental health is affecting you medically.

Are you still not eating, OP?

This. No point in fucking about on MN.

What are you anxious about? Do you want to talk about it?
