You are all so great at helping me out and I love this forum! I have GAD and am in therapy and have been for nearly 3 years!
I was wondering if anyone had this feeling Iv got. I am real happy at the moment, just pottering around the house (got the day off work) have slept well and am keeping everything in order but I have this terrible feeling in my tummy (its been present all throughout my treatment and therapy, it comes and goes), A bit like when you get to school and realise you have forgotten all your homework and youve got an exam youve not revised for!!
I often get this feeling, deep in the pit of my tummy, I try to ignore it and carry on
but it does drive me to distraction sometimes,
I am going to have a bath and do some deep breathing exercises, but I know its hiding in my tummy!
Does anyone else get this and how do they manage it?

Hi there , I know exactly what your describing when you say you have this awful feeling in the pit of your stomach . What you are experiencing is one of the many symptoms of anxiety . The feeling of dread the stomach churning its all part and parcel . I get it to but with nausea as an added bonus . It all starts with our thought process we think something negative and it kicks of the adrenalin that floods around the body making us feel awful . Allow it to be there pay it no attention as the more you worry about feeling the way you feel the worse it gets . The whole vicious circle of anxiety starts all over again . If you have time check out Paul David's site Anxiety no more it's fantastic and as some one who suffered for 10 years and recovered he knows what he's talking about .
