Feeling Sick Posted: 07-03-05 03:33am


Hey for a as long as I can remember I have always been an anxious person. When I get nervous I feelo sick. But over past 2 years its gotten worse. I feel sick when I leave the house and wake up thinking oh no, I am going to start feeling sick again. Getting worried about being worried. There are points in the day when my head is clear and I am fine again, but I am getting frustrated. I have a gf and I am worried that its going to affect my relationship with her. Anyone got any tips, music relaxes me sometimes, but its not always practical to have headphones strapped to my head =p

What do you mean by sick, like you will vomit or something else?

I Feel You Posted: 09-20-05 18:31pm


Omg I have the exact same symptoms like if my mind is occupied I feel fine but once I start gettin the least bit stressed I start feelin nauseated and often I gag because I start freakin out and since I have a phobia of vomiting it makes everything a million times worst I go into a panic attack atleast 4 times a week its so hard for me since im 14 and have to go to school, missing all the classes iv missed because I feel like this is hell but dont worry just push the doctors untik they find sumthing to help you it mite mean your gona have to be put on antidepressants, or benzodiazepines which are for generalized anxiety disorder these meds calm you down which means if your calm yur not stressed which mean since your not stressed your not nauseated I ono if it will work for you I dont even kno if its gonna work for me but iv got an appointment wit my doctor in a week and im gona present her all these options iv read about since theyre not giving me the answers I need im gona push and bring information because or else nutthings ever gona happen theyre just gona keep sendin yu home sayin yu have to deal with your stress we all need the extra help from meds and you will most likely need therapy to help you manage yur stress its worth it. We cant let it take over our lives. Here are some types of pills that I read about that mite help try talkin to yur doctor about them. Anti-nausea pills: -compazine -phenergan -zofran antidepressants: -effexor -paxil meds for generalized anxiety disorder: (benzodianzepines) -xanax -librium -valium -ativan -buspar(affects the activity of certain neutrotransmitters, including serotonin.Buspar does not cause sedation(sleepyness)or lead to dependancy(addictions) i hope this helps you I really recommend you present this information to your doctor it might help a lot if not it was worth a try.

Well "I Feel You," there's your clue. And forget all those drugs you alluded to. You are waaaayyyy too young to start that kind of life.

You need to restructure your life to prioritize maintaining a calm, centered energy. You should practice hatha yoga or Tai Chi 3-5 times weekly until you can teach your mind to find that stillness on command. You should not indulge in medications to wash over these symptoms-- they can have very serious side effects.

hey tankbrute6! i know exactly how you feel i got the flu a couple years ago and i havent quite felt the same either but it helps if you try to ignore it the best you can. i got sick when i was at work so i tend to get worried alot when im there and also in public since im afraid its gonna happen when im out somewhere! i try my hardest not to think about it but i know it can be hard. you should just try to stay busy! i hope this helps . GOOD LUCK!!

It sounds like you are in a continual cycle of being afraid of being afraid. You are so scared of being sick that you worry so much about it that it actually makes you sick. You really do need to find a professional to speak to before you become afraid of life itself.

Hello, I can empathise with all of you as I have struggled my last few years with severe anxiety in this way that all of you explain! I am from Australia living in the UK for the last 4yrs and I have had a lot of emotional issues that I think are related as well as the fear of being sick,which for me the very long plane ride I have ahead of me...I fear as I know I will 'feel' sick and dizzy and my stomahc goes crazy like it's full of acid bubbling away and I just feel so horrible...but I'm never actually sick. I saw a hypnotherapist earlier this year and he as amazing. It was a 3hr session which I preferred (and was cheaper on the whole) if you can afford to see one his name is Tom Breeze and he is based in LOndon. To help you overcome the issues it is an absolutely amazing experience to understand 'why' which that itself helps you to overcome the worry and stress and anxiety. I was feeling a lot better when I had seen him however I have suffered a severely bad inner ear infection after having a cold where, would you believe it, I feelt and still feel nauseated each and every day! (My worst nightmare!) I was bedridden for 3 weeks, out of work for 4 I couldnt walk, I didnt eat adn I couldt sleep as when you clsoe you eyes the vertigo (dizziness) is so bad you feel like your moving when you're not...just like ho I feel when I am anxious and I am about to go home for good in just 5 weeks time! I have had these horrible vertigo and still have bad ear troubles 8 weeks on and am seeing an ENT specialist next week...but I am so worried now about how my ears will be on the plane and if I feel sick and I am panicking all over again and doing the hypnotherapy was good up until now...now I have a heap fo other worries to worry about! I know there is nothing anyone can do but I need to work at this myself... BUt my advice is try some therapy - know how your mind and sub conscious work they are VERY powerful and even if it gives you back some confidence...find your happiest thoughts guys...what makes you smile and feel relaxed? i.e. remember a particular time with your family and or friends, imagine yourself in that time and whenever you feel anxious or fearful of what may come, imagine that moment. Learn some breathing techniques as these realy do help as wel ladn try some Rescue Remedy; you get it at Boots and I find it does help to calm me a bit I hope sharing my story and my trials may help each of you to find some things that help you...I know it s horrible thing and it does take time but you need to learn and understand why, discover precisely the thing that you fear and why you feel the way you do. It usualy is a moment that stciks and you need to get it sorted out to help move on... I hope I have helped in some way to you...I hope that I too learn to be stronger and live a normal life once again when I am home in Australia around my family again and just to be..happy!
