Hi, im really stuck on what is wrong with me. Everytime i do something new like start a new job, go travel with other people i dont really know and even when i go on holiday with my own family. I get an extremely sick feeling and some time actually vomit.
Also on my birthdays from my 13th i fall ill everytime. It seems to be a coincidence but i know its my body and brain.
Is it just anxiety? If so what can i do to stop it? It ruins everything i do!
Same here this anxiety doesnt seem to go away I have tried everything it really makes me feel more sick
Definitely sounds like anxiety to me unfortunately.
For me, I like to have everything planned out and organised the way I want it to. It takes me a while to change my mindset towards things, and I end up overplanning and overthinking about everything - all the time.
Though you may not totally overcome anxiety, and of course this is natural, I'd like to offer a few things that can help:
• Try your best to approach things from an open mindset - don't plan ahead too much and just think in the present (where possible)
• In social situations, just be yourself. When approaching new people, just be friendly - make eye contact and be genuine, ask them how they are, find common interests through conversation etc. It's all about being confident, albeit bravado perhaps, and just remembering that they are just people like you and I. Don't worry about being judged when speaking to people - if they like you for you, they will, and if not, no worries!
• Practise some breathing techniques to control breathing and prevent hyperventilation, I like the calming breath:
1. Take a deep, slow breath in through your nose, all the way, with correct posture
2. Breathe slowly out of the mouth with pursed lips
3. Repeat as necessary!
Really hope this helps, and that you can win the battle with anxiety!
It seems to me you might have a form of panic attacks. There is medication for that. Our brain can do so much to affect our body. I know because when I think I have some kind of serious ailment and take tests and find out that everything turned out negative, then I stopped having the symptoms. I would advise finding a doctor that you really trust and talk about your problem. If you don't like what this doctor is advising then find another one. Don't give up in solving this problem. You don't want to go through life being fearful . Perhaps you were not given the belief in yourself. Also, you might want to talk to a good therapist. Hopefully you will find a good doctor and therapist upon your first try or if you have tried before, you will be determined to live a productive, fairly peaceful life because if you are not happy then no one around you will be. My prayers are with you.
