sick?

sorry for another post! I know it seems so silly to be so anxious over getting sick, specifically throwing up. These past few days I’ve felt uneasy. At times super nauseous, but I’ve been eating normally and going to work. I can’t tell if I’m getting sick, if it’s anxiety, or if it’s from my period. I know my anxiety definitely isn’t helping how I am feeling. Once I start feeling uneasy I get anxious about throwing up, and my mind starts coming up with scenarios that could happen. I start thinking about what throwing up would be like, and how awful it would be.

I haven’t thrown up in over 6 years. The thought of it terrifies me. I have some trauma from throwing up in middle school, as my anxiety would make me throw up several times every morning before school.

I don’t understand why I feel uneasy. I keep trying to find an answer but can’t. I want to feeling tj stop. I would assume if I were sick I would have thrown up by now as I’ve been feeling this way for two days. That’s what makes me think it might be anxiety

Hi Daisy425

If your vomiting is correlating with periods of anxiety it seems like that's how you deal with the stress. Many people carry their anxiety in their stomachs. Some get headaches etc etc

Have you seen your medical Dr to be sure nothing else is going on? Even though it may seem obvious we shouldn't just adding anything. It's better to have a checkup

I have no fever and I’m able to eat normal and keep my food down, which tells me it’s probably my anxiety

Agree, that seems like the most obvious

Hope you feel better soon
