My anxiety started early last year for the first time.
I was just wondering what your sympotms are for your anxiety. Mine include a lot of stomach problems such as not eating, stomach aches, feeling like I'm going to throw up, but then not throwing up, and just in general feeling sick to my stomach. My main symptom is an upset stomach, but along with that it includes being very mopy and nervous about stupid things. I just want to know I'm not the only one who has these symptoms because it scares me when I can't do things because I'm nervous I'm going to throw up and have a panic attack. Anybody out there?
Hello..I also started experiencing anxiety last year... My anxiety attacks first start with nausea and then bubble like feelings in my belly. I get very nervous and worried and feel like I am going to throw up. My neck gets hot and I feel light headed... I notice that my anxiety is way worse in the evening and at night time... I now am on citalopram 20mg..but I started taking 10mg and have worked my way up to 15mg. I also have zofran for nausea gut I have noticed that I do t have to take it so often now that j am on the citalopram.... I am on my 3rd week of meds and I can tell a difference in my anxiety... Ibhooe to see more improvement ad time goes in and I settle on a dosage. Hope this information helps you and just know that you are not alone... These forums have really opened my eyes to the world of anxiety and how there is always someone out there that has had the same symptoms and issues that you have... I also notice that reading scripture and listening to Christian music helps calm me.....
the world we live in is so complex and stressful, i am not surprised at how many people have anxiety...i think i was born anxious...seriously i think it is like PTSD from having had to many super stressful situations to deal with in your life..anyways meds help me and for me, listening to soft speaking people and calming music and not watching tv commecials; also praying and listening to the Catholic mass and the scripture helps me esp the psalms being sung by a cantor
There are so many symtoms of anxiety, every single person is different. Personally, I go through elevated heart rate, my body temperature shoots through the roof, I start to do things too quickly but sometimes it can feel that the world has sped up x100 and im moving at a snails pace. I start to think irrational / "worst case scenario" thoughts and one triggers the other which triggers the other which triggers the other,
Hey there, I too suffer from nausea due to anxiety. My panic attacks usually just give me an upset tummy and tiredness, and when I crawl into bed and feel sorry for myself, or get away from the situation which is making me anxious, it goes away - however I am then overwhelmed with depression and shame because I let the anxiety beat me.
I've recently been going through a lot of stress, making my overthinking and panic attacks worse. I to get incredibly nervous over silly things - I've had some real diffculty going into work because I'm scared I will be sick or have a panic attack and get sent home, I also had to get a 2 hour long train yesterday and for around a week all I could think about it "What if I'm sick on the train?!"
So you are not the only one who feels this way, I've tried to get out and exercise and eat healthier which does help me with my overthinking (I guess it distracts my mind) however I do still get butterflies in my tummy whenever I am put in a situation I'm not comfortable with, I've also been trying to face my fears and ignore the nausea which also helps - although it is very very difficult.
I'm in the process of getting help for my anxiety as it is very very difficult to cope with right now, espeically now that I'm a student living away from home (a very long way). I have a mental health assesment on Thursday then I might be referred to a counceller, if that helps I will let you know
For the time being a carry round a spray bottle of rescue remedy as a "quick fix" which seems to help a little.
