Worked my first day at my first job, worried about getting fp or noro

So its basically like the title says, i work in fast food, we make pizza and stuff and im scared of getting noro from my co workers and handling the food idk it sounds stupid

i also almost fainted like twice, maybe three times, i didnt eat or drink much today because we have no food, i had about 5 chicken nuggets before work and took a dramamine "just in case", i took like three five min breaks each time i felt i couldnt just work through the dizzyness and tiredness. and each time i felt like a giant failure. ik im new and all and this is my first job and stuff but i feel like complete let down. and i feel like im gonna get fired cuz i took those breaks, idk i feel like i pressure myself to rest as little as possible when it comes to jobs, like if i take a break im gonna get fired or my gm or coworkers will look down on me.

im praying i just overexerted myself and that plus lack of food and water in my system caused me to feel like that, i felt dizzy and my stomach felt weird. i did my best to not freak out in front of my gm and coworkers and did pretty alright but i work tomorrow and im so scared that ill feel like that again and maybe actually pass out.

This is besides my emetophobia kinda but i am also worried for my future in the work industry, like i feel so dumb and incompetent and like everybody hates me. i also feel weak and slow, like im not doing enough. like i dont belong. and i feel burntout after the FIRST DAY, i feel so pathetic like honestly. i keep telling myself that this is the real world and i need to find a way to deal cuz everybody else does. idk im just rambling at this point , i feel hopless tho! i only worked like 5 or 6 hours! idk like i said i feel weak and pathetic that im already feeling burntout after one day, i just hope it gets easier and im just being dramatic. plus the worry about catching something.

ate leftover rice from about 6/7 days ago, worried ab food poisoning

hey so my fear is basically in the title lol, my mom cooked some rice for me and my boyfriend last weekend and its been in the fridge since then, i reheated it on the stove today with some spam and im worried that i didnt reheat it enough or something, i only took a couple bites before feeling nauseous

i feel okay right now, i drank some water and got some spikey pain in my upper tummy which freaked me out. I am also on my period rn and so yk how that combined with anxiety can be.

i looked at how fast food poisoning sets in from rice but i read it can start within 30 min to like 2 weeks and im a nervous wreck. like i feel fine now but im basically playing the waiting game and spiraling into oblivion

so my mom got us wingstop earlier today and im so scared im going to get food poisoning or noro, and i stupidly went to the reviews and read ONE that said they got food poisoning and it was a week ago.

im freaking the fuck out right now and to make matters worse my boyfriend is heading over and will be here in like an hour and i dont want to be freaking out the whole time hes here, im probably gonna take a dramamine just to cope a little bit but im so fucking scared and my coping mechanisms aren't helping

i just need a little support right now, ik reassurance isnt allowed on here but idk im so scared and need to tell somebody so here i am

little edit, but ive eaten from this wingstop two times before and been fine but im reading the reviews and its just freaking me out more, i want to stop reading but i literally just cant and im spiraling rn, i hate this phobia and i hate eating out.

Hi (i wont be using abbreviations so just a TW for that) im going to a concert tomorrow by myself , im so terrified of eating anything before but im also terrified of passing out or throwing up, plus getting a bug or virus.

i need advice on how to cope or just something to ease my mind. i also had a really bad panic attack the other day and my arms and hands locked up really REALLY bad it lasted quite a bit but i had to force myself to lock in because i had an interview (panic attack happened on the way because my stomach was hurting). thats never happened before and i dont want it to happen again.

im staying in a hotel with my mom and sister until saturday and ive only had crackers with pepperoni and cheese, chips, and tea. my mom and sister are out right now picking up pizza that i might eat but idk. i hate eating out due to this dumb phobia but eating out is the only option for food rn, besides snacks we picked up before the drive over here.

please if anybody has any comforting words or advice id be more then happy to hear them.
