Random anxiety

The last few weeks I've been feeling good. We helped moved my daughter and her family back into town, did lots of yard work and just been busy. We've been planning a 4 day get-away and looking really forward to it. Then last weekend I started coughing and sneezing a lot and now seem to have the beginnings of a sinus infection w/ear pain on top of anxiety. I ended up working from home yesterday because I was so congested and threw up because of the nausea from the sinus drainage. I felt better as the day wore on and ate normally. This morning my stomach is still somewhat uneasy and ear hurts. I finally took some sinus med and trying to eat some breakfast. Head still swimming and I have to drive four hours to get where we're going. I know some of this is anticipation of the drive and some is due to sinus. I've just been looking so forward to this trip and doing my best to accept the anxiety symptoms and let them go. Uneasy stomach is a tough one. Anyone else get anxiety when anticipating things that are pleasant as well as not?

Claire Weekes wrote that the stomach is the organ most sympathetic anxiety. Ask a pharmacist for something to relieve your stomach and go, it will be like a tonic.

This is me currently! I have anxiety and at the end of my days recently, I just feel like throwing up I haven’t yet but all the anticipation of grad school (just started last week) has been making my stomach hurt as soon as I get home and try to relax! I try and focus on other things but it’s kind of hard when trying to sleep. I’ve been drinking la croix to see if it helps and it did help me take a nap earlier.

Best of luck! Xoxo
