Foods when nauseous
Hi, when I am going through a bad time of anxiety and panic attacks I feel extremely nauseous and vomit occassionaly I can go days without eating, the thought of eating even makes me nauseous. Just wondered if this happens to anyone else and what they recommend eating to help x
This is definitely something Ive experienced. A little too often, but Im still dealing with making sure I remember to eat/ take care of myself with proper nutrition when I am feeling anxious or just have a lot going on!
In the past, I have gotten drink shakes,coffees with lots of cream, slushees, anything I know I will enjoy once I get started, and I take a few sips of those and really psyche myself up and focus on consciously thinking about alright, this will directly fuel my body and help me continue to accomplish the many things on my plate then soon enough it takes the edge off and Ill find myself ready for real food a while after.
My anxious tummy I like to call it, is most likely something I create myself with worry, so I handle it with gentle internal monologue and reason. Still a work in progress :]
@dapperTiger2041 If you're feeling nauseated, best thing to do now is take it slow. When you're ready, stick to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast). When you feel like having a little more, you can move onto stuff like plain chicken.
Good luck! I'm sorry you're going through that right now.

I can sort of relate as when I get anxious I have a harder time eating due to nausea. It doesn't help that my self-esteem already effects my eating habits as well...
I find drinking liquids is easier during the nausea/anxiety than eating solid foods. Plain smoothies, lots of water, protein shakes etc. Other than liquids possibly plain breads when your stomach is upset.
