if your stomach’s sensitive because of anxiety, by all means spread out the food you eat over the course of the day instead of having large meals, just don’t…not eat. you will go into hypoglycemic shock and that will suck.
By the way, symptoms include:
Shakiness.
Nervousness or anxiety.
Sweating, chills and clamminess.
Irritability or impatience.
Confusion, including delirium.
Rapid/fast heartbeat.
Lightheadedness or dizziness.
Hunger and nausea.
(because of the nausea, eating might not feel like the thing to do at first. I’d suggest drinking a coke or something.)
I’ve dealt with sugar crashes before and I’ve collapsed and whited out. I’ve had friends do it too. If you think you’re going into hypoglycemic shock, and if there’s anyone else near by, tell them you think it’s happening, even if you’re not prone or it’s never happened before. If your’e alone, make your way slowly to the kitchen/wherever you have food/drinks. The standard rule is to take in 15 oz of a sugary drink (orange juice and soda–not diet–are the best) and wait 15 minutes to see if it’s over, then keep doing that until your sugar is stabilized. Then you can eat. If you think you’re about to collapse, especially if you start to feel dizzy, sit down and lay down or lean against something. Don’t risk injury, it’s better to pass out while you’re laying down than it is to collapse and hurt yourself.

If you are having trouble eating please keep in mind the BRATY diet. Bananas, Rice, Apple sauce, Toast, and (sometimes) Yogurt. These foods have been shown to be harder to throw up. By no means should this be the primary diet, but this can assist in the between times when it’s harder to keep things down.
this was really helpful
As someone who has a super nervous stomach this is super useful!!

Just a friendly reminder that if the four humans hadn’t asked the Judge to be graded as a group, Eleanor would’ve been the first human to get into the Good Place in more than 500 earth-years.
not to be an absolute fucking geek but the fact that the spine chilling sound from the prowler’s theme, which represents miles’s fear and anxiety regarding the prowler, is sampled at the beginning of what’s up danger, less intimidating and jarring but still there nonetheless, is an amazing example of the thought and care that went into every facet of spiderverse. an auditory representation of fear that we shared with miles is blended with the song that marks the beginning of miles’s ascension to heroism, telling the audience that miles is ready to accept that fear and that from that point onwards, he welcomes the risk and danger of being spiderman that he once fled from. in this essay, I will—
