Johnnie, our mind is programmed as such that it replays what we fear each and

every day. That is, unless we stop those negative thoughts before they start.

It's like a bad habit. We have to start slowly in changing the way we think, act

and proceed forward with confidence and positivity.

Anxiety can do this to all of us, starting with the ruminating thoughts which then

turns to physical symptoms being the nervous stomach in your case. This is the

Mind/Body Connection phase. The Mind and Gut are intertwined. What you think

is what you get.

Are you doing your breathing and meditation before sleep each night? It's not just

a one time thing. In order to break this pattern that you slipped into, it takes

positive repetition several times a day. By doing this, even when you are not anxious,

your mind will learn to adapt to this without a thought. The results will be calming

those thoughts and symptoms before they have a chance to escalate. Good Luck xx

I hear you Johnnie, that is a horrible feeling. When you feel like that make sure

you are well hydrated. For me, it's usually a sign I haven't had enough water. xx

Are you being treated for anxiety? Counseling, meds, other sources you use to learn calm and relaxation techniques. Agora1 is right, committing to a daily process, a regime you practice ever day will help you learn to manage your thoughts.

You have to want to choose to not let anxiety win control over you, otherwise the mind will keep pushing you over the edge and you become powerless. There are so many free things out there like apps, learning CBT, relaxation techniques, muscle tension techniques. Also having a good diet and staying hydrated is important as well. I’m a huge advocate of physical exercise for anxiety as long as you do not have any physical limitations or health issues that prevent you from exercise.

I have the same symptoms and getting up early the next day is important even though you spent the night until 4am with thoughts and you will be tired. You will find that the next night you will be knackered and will sleep. I keep resetting myself fortnightly because thoughts about what has happened in the past or during the day come back to haunt me.

Hope this is helpful
