Greetings everyone.
My name is Dan, I live in the United Kingdom and I am eleven years old. I discovered this website after googling 1000 times about my anxiety and stress. I am creating a game with my friend on a game development platform and we're going to have it featured on a live-stream broadcasted across the world to over three thousand people. In two weeks when my friend goes over to visit the guys who own the broadcast in America, as it's going to be showcased I am running out of time to get the game fixed. We've got it fixed to the best we can get it but still fails on some issues - and can randomly just fail.
This is 100% likely to happen on this live-stream broadcast. It's all been planned and can't now be put off. We're going to look like arses if it goes wrong, and this is where I believe my anxiety is coming from.
Day in, day out I am tirelessly working on it and talking to my friend. I just keep getting a dry mouth, I feel as if there is something stuck down my throat and I just can't eat. The thought of eating something just makes me feel sick. My Mum tries to make me eat things and I just can't, ending up in me spitting it out in to a tissue, sometimes if it's even just spit.
Take this for example: A few weeks back I loved a sausage pasty with cheese and beans on it. I would scoff it down in a flash and want to eat another. Now I just can't even eat a tiny bite, I will just relate back to my anxiety problem and feel sick as well as feeling that it's going to get stuck down my throat. I really wish this would go away. Another example is that if I eat pizza i'd have to pick off all of the cheese and eat it very very slowly. I'd still have to spit some of that out, too.
Here's a full list of what I feel like:
- I'm going to choke if I eat this and die :(
- I feel sick
- I'll never be able to eat again
- Headaches
- Keep needing reassurance from others
- Crying / Getting out of control
- Dry mouth
- Cracked lips
- Sore throat / Pharyngitis
It helps to know that other people have got the same symptoms as me. Please could anyone suggest any ways to relieve the problem as I have taken time off from my game work.
Thanks for reading everyone
