I have anxiety and am on medication for it. I've been suffering for about 15 years, and just started treatment. It's going well so far. I just had a question for other anxiety sufferers to see if i'm not alone in this. Sometimes, even before i started the meds so i know it's not medication related, i will be totally fine then all of the sudden i'll have this feeling like i'm going to throw up. No other symptoms, not really any nausea until after i feel this way and begin to get anxious (i'm emetophobic so thinking about throwing up gets my anxiety going pretty good). It comes fast and usually ends pretty quickly. Today I was in the grocery store checking out and it hit me, luckily i was waiting for the cashier to give me change so i could quickly get outside just in case, but by the time i got to the car, i felt fine. I was only running in for a few things, so i wasn't in the store long and usually am not anxious about grocery shopping. I came home and took a nap (i'd been up since 5am fishing with my dad so around 2pm when i got home i was ready to pass out) after the nap i woke up and ate dinner with my hubby and am feeling fine. the last time i was watching TV having a great time and it hit, i ran to the bathroom and stood in front of the sink for a moment and within like 20 seconds i was fine again. i'm definately not pregnant, lol bc if it was pregnancy related i would be like 5 years pregnant lmao. its just so strange that it comes and goes so fast, with no other symptoms. anyway has anyone else ever felt like this?

I definately can relate. And it's so annoying because you never know when it's going to happen. Definately the anxiety has to do with it. I've done lots of research and now I've learned how to control mine. Mine will start with me just sitting on the couch watching tv or computer, and all of a sudden I start getting hot. Then it's like I can't breath and BOOM, I'm nauseated. I get up and walk around, take a tums or even a peppermint and within a few minutes I'm fine. Like it never happened. It's crazy but anxiety can do a number of things on our bodies and expecially our minds. I always have peppermints or even gum in my purse as well as Tums or Rolaids. So when I'm out to eat with my hubby(which can get embarrasing then) or just shopping these small things seem to help me. But it's comforting knowing i'm not the only one.

Thank you Jenni! Your post is very positive. It may help people to think about their anxiety and realise that there are small steps which can achieve results of distraction until the panic or fear subsides.
Do you have any advice for people who have panic or fear, but under certain situations, 'increasing anxiety', caused by thought process, might be able to get out of the initial mindset to be able to, for example walk around or take a mint, as I guess for some, it's difficult at the time to depersonalise the feeling, and come out of the mindset in order to calm oneself?
Thank you Rebecca too for broaching the subject :-)
Kind Regards.

Hi I've been having anxiety problems for years but now in my sophomore year of highschool its gotten worse. today I am home sick because last night I randomly got hot and sweaty and dizzy then nauseas, now I'm getting spurts of that today. I've missed my max amount of days and I hate public school, when I walk through the doors I turn into a shell of who I really am. all emotions besides anger and my anxiety wait outside. I want to do online schooling but my parents are not letting me. I've been bullied since 5th grade and it was worst in 6th. I used to get hot and feel like I was about to c**p my pants on the car ride to school but I've worked hard against getting that. I still can't eat in the mornings because it makes ne sick, I don't eat lunch there either because it stresses me out. the first day of school I was shaking and thought that if I was with my boyfriend id feel better but I ended up throwing up ( nearly on him!) I feel like I have no energy therefore I don't keep up on my room etc and that's a reason my dad won't let me do online. please help no one understands
