Q: Feeling Sick
asked by: veracocha13 on July 3rd, 2005

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?

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.

RE: Feeling Sick
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.

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 Smile

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!

I'm 14 and I have always suffered from this. I have always had very low confidence and it resulted in me having to leave school and get home schooled as my attendance was extremely low (at school 3 days out of 5 a week roughly!) 2 years ago was the worst time for me, I didn;t go out at all and lost contact with my friends and extended family. Now I'm slowly building myself up to get out of the house for atleast 6 hours.
As most people have said, it occurs when they think about it. You have to keep your mind off it and concentrate on what you're meant to be doing. At night when I feel sick I , for example, count all the letter T's on a page of a book. It really does help and I feel well enough and relaxed enough to get to sleep.
I saw a doctor. Absolutely no help. Just gave me a reason to feel more nervous about the surgery!
Keep concentrated on a completely different thing and I know you're constantly trying to tell yourself not to feel sick but of course you are actually thinking about the sickness. If you build up each time you go out you will feel alot better.
I've also found just fiddling with little things like folding a piece of paper over and over again then unfolding it helps when im out of the house helps.
I hope I've helped!

Anxiety
I feel the exact same way. About two years ago I got the flu and at first I was fine, but then I started to think about being sick too much. I missed a lot of school at first because I didn't know what was going on with me, I would feel great one moment and then awful the next. I had never even herd of anxiety at the time and when it was talked about with my doctor I finally realized why I was feeling so sick. Anxiety comes to me in nausea and being very emotional. It all started when I was 12 and I am now 14 and I am still going through it. I get anxiety when something happens and I obsess about it so much that I believe it is going to happen to me. Like 3 weeks ago a girl in my science when a girl fainted right beside me and I started to feel sick and thought it would happen to me. Now everytime I go into science I feel sick and get the same symptoms back. Does anyone know what I could do while I am in sceince to calm myself down. Sometimes I feel so sick that I lie and say I have an appt to just get out of the classroom. But I really don't want to start missing school. Please someone help me try to figure this out.

thanks Lauren
