So do you guys feel sick sometimes or just like there is something really wrong with you or your feel off.. I and if so how do you deal with it does it pass for you and it comes on another day or does it get easier with the years or time.. I know everyone is different but how do you cope with it when you feel and think that your far worse then you really are and does different things set it off like food and negative things?

Morning Dameinlee

If I feel sick with my anxiety I always have a peppermint tea to calm my stomach down. AS when I feel off I feel the need to sort it out quick, think it is more of a control thing with me, sort of need sorting before it gets worse if you know what I mean. I was grinding my teeth at night a couple of months back and I convinced myself over a number of days it was more than that, so I ended up at the dentist, who told me my teeth were fine but I grind my teeth and that was what was causing the pain. After a few pain killers I was fine. But I needed the dentist to tell me what I all ready knew really.

When I am anxious I get all sort of pains and aches in my body and this sets my mind off to over thinking.

I now try to calm myself down with either breathing exercises or a visit to my doctor.

Things have got better over the months as I now try to sort things out instead of overthinking things. I have had help through courses about anxiety and of course this site.

Hope this helps.

This is how it works with me.........

Today I saw an article in the news about skin cancer so now my mind is ticking over and worrying about it.

Tomorrow it could be diabetes is highlighted on TV and then I'll be off on that one.

It's a never ending cycle of worry about some illness or other.

Some days I can laugh at myself for being so silly but other days it hangs over me like a black cloak of worry.

If I actually have a pain or symptom it's always the worst case scenario and never just a cold or headache.
