I'm in complete panic, spontaneous combustion mode!!!!

Ok so had to leave town because husbands grandpa was in the hospital. Sunday I started having urinary problems. I was taking OTC stuff but it got worse. Went to the doctor Wednesday. The antibiotics are making me so sick. I'm so scared I'm gonna throw up. I'm freaking out really bad. I have a really really bad UTI. My anxiety is through the roof. I thought I was gonna V a few minutes ago. I can't handle this. I don't know what to do. I took an antiemetic and anxiety pill. I can't calm down and neither will my stomach. It keeps making noises and freaks me out. I'm shaking in fear. I know my anxiety is way out of control because my feet are sweating.

I don't know what to do. No one will talk to me.

I've been where you are and will be there again - sadly! You are going to be fine. Is there any way you can provide yourself with a distraction? For me exercise works. Go for a walk if you can. It's calming and will clear your head. The meds will work to clear up your infection. And like display said - keep writing on this board. Sometimes just writing down your fears helps calm them. You will be fine. Promise!

Hi BKM.

I do not think that you are going to have an issue with V...I think that it is normal for your stomach to be acting up since you are not only feeling unwell from the UTI, but also on an antibiotic and feeling anxious...triple whammy.

All of these things can make your stomach uneasy, but are not going to stimulate the V trigger in the brain and gut nerves.

There is a difference between an unsettled stomach, and the leap to actually emeting.

Just keep telling yourself that the unease in your tummy is normal, and that you are not going to do what you fear...and that you are okay.

Doing the suggested relaxation exercises is a great idea.

Rest and recover from your UTI...miserable, I know...hugs and compassion!!

Mommie, I am really sorry I went to bed early last night didnt get to help.
I know You already know what I am going to say, ok? but it needs to be repeated by everyone especially
You, "Throwing up is not a dangerous thing, most of the time a person will feel better, I would never expect you to want to V but I do hope You get to the point where you can take it or leave it". For what it's worth my oldest Daughter went through this from about age 16-30, She still gets antsy but if needed she can go to the bath room and make herself v now, but she's had 3 children and did a lot of things that might bother a single non mother. Mommie honestly someday you will get past the worst of this, just hang on, Peace.

Go look in the mirror Mommie, You are a Fine Mother, and a Super Wonderful Mother, give the girl in the
mirror a high five for me and ask your Son what He would like for You to do! Peace
