Effects of anxiety

[Lotus4sce]

Does anyone's anxiety get so bad they throw up dont to eat and feels like all there nerves in their body are shaking?

[RLK2017]

Yes!! That is what happens to me. My depression gets so bad I cant eat and my body shakes lot. I swear my left hand has a motion all of it's own cause I start rubbing my fingers together. Then I start rubbing my sternum with my knuckles..I know that sounds weird but that's some of my signs. My leg and foot will start shaking as well. I truly know where your coming from. Your not alone.

Yea like my appetite is gone and I shiver like I'm cold when it's not even cold. I try to reassure myself about things but that only helps for like a second . I started playing games on my phone and that helps a little sometimes . I feel like zombie and anxious at the same time it's horrible

I know what you mean about the finger rubbing thing. When my mind becomes overactive from anxiety I tend to rub my thumb and my pointer finger together sometimes for hours on end as I find it helps take my mind somewhat off the thoughts in my head.

[RLK2017 in reply to Tryingtofixmylife]

Wow I thought I was the only one who did that with my fingers. It nice to know that I'm not crazy! I swear even my dr looked at me like I had 2 heads! I guess they cant unders ys and something they dont go though themselves. I'm actually g lo king to switch drs because of the way she treated me. I dont respond well to being yelled at while I'm in the middle of complete anxiety attack. Not professional at all. I've been seeing her for 7yrs and I'm walking away.

I tend to let my thumb rock back and forth and roll my index finger in circles in reverse clockwise motion. It started years ago and sometimes I even wil just roll my finger on my leg or something nearby as to not make it as noticeable when people are around. I even told a friend that if she saw me doing it it meant that I was overthinking and doing it to focus better.

My depression/anxiety makes me nauseous a lot of the time.

[Amz1987]

Yup. Felt like it this morning actually all because I was worried I was going to be late for a specialist appointment for one of my sons and I had to get all 4 kids fed, dressed and out of the house before 7:30am even though it’s only half an hour earlier than what we normally have to leave by. (45 minute drive after dropping two off at day care) In the end I was 20 minutes early and the dr was 15 minutes late arriving and had double booked 1st appointment so that brought the anxiety up even further.

I’m still winding down from it hours later, I hate anxiety.

[HopeWithSmile]

Yes. I am having it right now. It’s like Work anxiety eats me alive....

[Elfje in reply to HopeWithSmile]

Why not meds ???

[HopeWithSmile in reply to Elfje]

I am afraid of the side effects and getting addicted. I know, it’s a vicious circle, but I want to try everything before resorting to medication...

[Elfje in reply to HopeWithSmile]

I mean Xanax or something

I have waight a long time jears

No anti depressant I can not have it mAke me more sick but xanax and ye sulpiride helps

[HopeWithSmile in reply to Elfje]

Yeah, I take this kind of medication. But it rarely helps.

[Elfje in reply to HopeWithSmile]

Is the doses of you meds ok because that is also important

How much you have the taken

[HopeWithSmile in reply to Elfje]

I don’t take exactly Xanax (it is not sold in my country), I take mine according to instruction or a little more (if there is no side effects) if I have severe anxiety.

[Elfje in reply to HopeWithSmile]

Sorry but I don't understand

Xanax not sold on your country ?

What they given than ?

[HopeWithSmile in reply to Elfje]

We have other medicine with the same active ingredient as Xanax

Anxiety just takes over your whole body and mind and it's not fair

[Tryingtofixmylife]

Yes I have the same feelings at times. If my depression drags on long enough I tend to eventually get physically ill and end up with flu like symptoms. It often starts with feeling cold when its hot as can be, not wanting to eat, and almost complete inability to sleep. Depression can weaken your immune system because of the way stress works on the human body. I am just starting to try recovering from 20+ years of depression and am trying every method possible to help and find that talking about it with people you trust can really help and knowing that you are not alone and that many people deal with the same feelings.

[Blueyes75]

Yes I've had that. What kind of antidepressants are you on? I was on Pristiq and it made it worse for me what your describing then I went back on Cymbalta and not that everything is perfect but a lot better than when I was on that crazy medication..

[Hidden]

I suffer from extreme anxiety with depression and the last 2 years when I got really anxious and my anxiety got really bad I lost my appetite and whenever I did eat something I would throw up every time. My body would shake as well. I felt like my nerves were all over the place

[Elfje in reply to Hidden]

Ye than you need meds

It's a fact

[Daninicole22]

Yes! Everyday .... I dread waking up in the mornings because i feel this way upon waking up... I really hate the shakey feeling along with not being able to breath, it really is debilitating and I’m so sick of feeling like this!

[Hidden]

Mine started after severe stress. Now I can barely breathe turn blue acid refkux. It’s awful. It affects my shoulders neck head mostly which pisses me off. How can I take meds if my stomach is so bad they made it worse so dunno what to do. Shrink says will get better taking the meds but I couldn’t go to the bathroom for a month. It took a bad situation made it unbearable now. I do breathing that’s hard & throat relaxation stuff and spend time alone.
