Need Someone to Talk To....

I'm going to try and find out if the Zantac 75 does give side effects of gas, It's really bothering me.

It could, but so could having anxiety. (From what I know)

Yea, I hate feeling sick and gassy 24/7. I can't wait till i get over this anxiety! it will be the greatest thing i'll ever accomplish.

I'm still pushing for the drugs alex, but you do what you need to do!

And you will accomplish it Alex.

First thing i need to get done is getting it through to me that all my nausea and feeling horrible is in my head. I would have no other reason to be sick for 2 months!

You are already solving your own problems. I am so very proud of you. It is not easy and I know that. I am one that gives credit when it is due. I wish I had the drive that you do Alex.
Just today for reasons I won't go into, I had to call my doctor because I am so depressed over something I can't change and that is going to happen whether I like it or not. I have to except it. I asked her to up my Lexepro from 10mg in the morning to 10mg AM and PM. I know her from working at the hospital and she knows me well and all of the illness problems I have had and still have and why I need my medications. I am truly blessed to have a GP that knows my health so well. She has been through a lot with me Alex.
To have the drive to get better that you have is just plain awesome. Medications can only help us through but, it take ourselves to really put a plan into action. My depression untill now has been more then managable. Let's put it this way, I have a lot on my plate right now and it's only by putting my plan into action that I am still around to talk about it.
You Alex are going to be a good reflection for others to learn by. It shows that if you listen to supports, other member and not back away, you really can achieve your goals. And you are on the road to achieving them.
Never say there is nothing you can do about it. Because there is.

Bravo!

And what if you don't. So far you haven't in all this time. It' not the most plesant thing in the world but, it sure is not the end of the world Alex. Aniety affect everyone differently. It just happens to be your stomach. I'm telling you, keep up the way your going and you will do great. You have the motavation to help yourself get better and that is all that matters right now. focus on that and see what achievement you will make.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am so dan gmad i want to kill someone, i cant stand feeling sick anymore and everything is frustrating me. I can't stand this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am having an attack right now i just want to die im never gonna get better i feel sick all the time and it makes me so mad. if i could cuss here then i would but im holding back. I keep punching my pillow im so pissed. and im screaming and stuff. i can't control my feelings anymore, this sickness is making me depressed and moody! =[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

You will get better!! Just hold out and try to clear your mind. I promise you that you will get better and we're all here to support you in the meantime.

It's hard, it really sucks, we know. Tell us why you're so mad, maybe it will make you feel better.

I'm mad cause i always feel like vomiting But i never do, It's like my body is teasing myself. I hate it and i obviously can't control my stomach.

That's the worst feeling. Yuck.

Time to focus on your stomach now and not the anxiety. As you know I am far from being a doctor but, pretty much know persistant symptoms when they occure. This may and probably is caused by you anxiety but, I think it is time you saw a doctor for your stomach. Now this is just a hunch but, you do know the anxiety can give you not only acid reflux but, also ulcers. I have a funny feeling that there is something eles going on here. And we may be overlooking it. If it is that bad that your getting so aggressive, that is not a good sign. It also could be "Nervous Stomach" which can cause you to feel sick to your stomach. That to is part of anxiety. I personally don't think the Zantac is enough. I take Nexium (RX) Prilosec OTC is good too. I'm sorry, to me Zantac is worthless. I remember once my doctor put me on milk and malox every 4 hours for a week. I helped. I would get to a doctor and get to the bottom of this. I don't think you parents would be mad if you told the you felt sick to you stomack all the time (at home).

P.S. I suffer from SEVERE anxiety, stress and deppression and I don't ever remember suffering the way you do with a sick stomach. And it has been over 4 years now.

But right now it's a nice friday night 10:32 and i feel sick, I don't get it! My body is playing tricks on me!

Anyone can talk themselves into being sick. I don't thinkk you mind is playing tricks on you. I think you are playing tricks on you mind. If you think hard enough that you are sick, you mind will record that as true. We have to get past that. Try to consintrate on how good you feel. You dwelling way to much on being sick. I know you don't realize it but, you want to be sick. I know that sounds crazy. But it is true. You mind can tell you body lots of things but, you body can also send messges to the brain and the brain well believe it. Focus on how well you are for a change. Get home on day and say to yourself " Boy I really feel good and I am happy that way and am going to continue that way too"
Alex, let me ask you a question. Do you ever feel like you not getting enough attention. I mean in general, at school, at home, anywhere? I really would like an answer to that. I do have a reason for asking. I also want to know if you have any brothers or sister and how old they are. Get back to me.

Carrie.

Hi! I know how u feel. I am going through the exact same thing. I cannot convince myself that I am not having a heart attack even though I have seen doctor after doctor and have had 2 EKG's. Now I am planning on going to a cardiologist. I have those same feelings that I am scared my husband is going to leave because he thinks I am going crazy. All of this started happening to me when my father passed away. I too only hope that I can get over this feeling and become "normal" again.
