anxiety sufferer

Hi

I am new on here and it is good to see that a number of people suffer with anxiety, I find the worse part of my anxiety is feeling sick all the time, wont go out because I feel even worse and worried I will be sick when I am out, really don't know what to do.

I used to get that too. Felt like my stomach was all in knots. I found learning mindfulness breathing helped me. I learned to focus on my breathing which helped reduce the tension in my stomach. I didn't leave the house when I was at my worst, but with help I was able to go out when I knew it would be quiet and I always had a backout plan if I felt to anxious or if I was going to take a panic attack.

I found that by having goals and pushing myself a little further past my comfort zone helped. I also did relaxation exercises as well which helped with the tension and stress, which helped with the knotted stomach. Still get it every now and again, but now I know what I need to do to make it go away.

Also make sure you are eating regularly and that you are taking enough fluids. I know you won't fell like it if you are feeling sick, but you have to look after yourself.

Hope this helps.

I am listening to Belinda Carlisle at the moment, a blast from the past but sometimes I need that rather than the meditation music.

Hope you find music that works for you.
