Why do i always wake up nauseous?! Why can't i work? How to explain this disability?

[No_Longer_Human]

I always wake up from nausea. And when there's an opportunity to get a job, it gets even worse. The trauma is too deep. I sleep, my unconscious goes wild and i wake up nauseous. I have these unresolved unconscious traumas. "Just don't think about it". Yes, when im awake but not when im asleep. I can't work. I can't do household. There are always chores. I can't adult. The more years pass by, the less i can adult. The brain develops till 25, im 24. Im doomed

I feel you. My dreams used to haunt me but I found a great group of mental health professionals who have helped me through this process with weekly therapy sessions and medication to calm the anxiety and dreams at night. I still have times where I feel down but not so severe and I can get through the day. I also learned to not live in the past and use it as a tool for not doing things anymore and not to worry so much about the future because I can’t control it. I just like in the moment and enjoy what I have now. Read the book The Precious Present. You can find it free on YouTube also. Good luck. Hugs

I feel your pain. I’ve been unemployed since aug and my anxiety just got so bad all over again after almost 3 years of being off medication. I can’t drive, I used to wake up feeling super nauseous thankfully my mom came by to visit me last week and she massaged my stomach for a while and it helped. I’m still not able to eat like a normal person tho my anxiety has me thinking all sorts of bad things. I have fear of eating pretty much anything and also fear of going anywhere. I went to go see my pcp last wed and he prescribed me lorazepam the lowest dosage but I’m so scared to take it because I read about all of the horrible side effects. I pray every night and sometimes during the day and it does calm me for a while. Still tho I’ve been pretty much trapped in a room isolated from everyone for almost 3 months. I wish there was something I could take or do to help me calm down. I pray your nausea goes away soon and you get to feeling better. I also lost almost 12/15 lbs due to the horrible nausea I was experiencing.

You're like describing me just i don't lose weight. Im in his room. And just that my mom came and made it worse. Lorazepam helped me when i could afford it. Actually all benzos do magic with nausea and anxiety. I feel like you're me. Hugs

I’m so scared to take it tho. I used to be on it and tbh within a month I was a lot better is just that the side effects is what scares me. Sertraline gave me some very bad ones I ended up at the ER. I’m even scared to go to church. It’s a horrible situation. I’ll make sure to pray for the both of us and for all of those who suffered from any mental illness. It’s just bad. Hugs your way as well.

I’m sorry to hear that. I still yet have trouble eating. I eat but not enough and I hate it. I want to get out of the house so bad sometimes. I get bored of being home. I’m so used to being an independent person and mother as well. I refuse to take my meds I do not want to be on meds that make me feel numb at all times.

[No_Longer_Human in reply to c_sparkles23]

Please don't stop your meds without consulting a doctor. I had a friend who stopped his meds and the results put him in life-threatening danger. I can't afford to have another person in this position. Please be safe

I haven’t started taking it I’m super scared to take it. Everything seems to scare me. Idk if this symptoms or feelings will ever go away. Everyone keeps telling me to take my medication so I can feel better but I’m scared to take it. I just don’t want to end up at the er again. It feels horrible and I have no family besides my kids. Who’s going to care for them if something happens to me. That’s my biggest worry
