churning stomach

[Marco]

hiya mandy, yep i get that, it was one of the first "signs". i described it as a screaming tummy, makes a sound like your hungry, but your not. Just another symptom of anxiety im afraid.

take care

I also get this. So bad is my anxiety that I dare not eat at night for fear of churning in the night.
I have terrible indigestion not long after eating - because my stomach muscles are so tense - like when you do 'sit-ups' in the gym. I can't let go.
My poo's have no continuity - normal one minute, soft the next, then dark, light - whatever!
I keep going out binge drinking because the NHS can't do anything for me - I'm too far gone. The Crisis Teams just want get you off their books etc. I am 'too severe' for the WellBeing Team. I have had 8 overdoses in 3 months.
Only large amounts of Diazepam (Vallium) can calm me down.
I have skin rashes, palpitations, insomnia, a terrible tight chest. Coz I clench my throat so much.
I'm chronically I'll with this. Normal life is not possible for me anymore.

can you not ask your gp to arrange admittance to an assesment ward on a voluntary basis at your local mental health facility ? Truly if you are this unwell and you feel that no one listens then go to your local social work office and ask to speak to the duty social worker who will refer you to a mental health social worker. Best of luck guys x

i see my counsellor once a week and everytime i go there am crying telling her how i cant cope feeling anxious 24/7 and not eating nor sleeping and basically my body just not getting any rest i have basically begged them and also rang crisis team many of times and all they ever say is take a valium and a sleeping pill my weight is dropping off which my counsellor is watching but am thinking maybe when they think yes i do need to be in hospital then it will be to late then am killing myself just by not eating nor getting any rest x

Honeyp1e,

There is such an ignorance about regarding treatment for people with chronic anxiety with no apparent cause. As I said before, I have tried everything and gone everywhere. Its the same old brick wall. I go to MIND everyweek and they have been OK. But I need support 24/7 and CONSTANT SEDATION.

Here in Kettering, Northamptonshire, we used to have a good ward at the hospital where you could go in, but it went a while ago with all this trendy 'care in the community' lark. The only hospital addmissions now are for violent 'scitz' etc.

When I lived in Aberdeen I was a regular attender at the Royal Cornhill Hospital.
Crisis team are a waste of time. Doctors don't do anything apart from refer to WellBeing Teams or give you drugs you know don't work etc.
There is NOTHING available on NHS for mentally ill people of our type.
I am of the opinion that if the NHS can't find an obvious cause for anxiety, then they don't want to know. Ha! if there was an obvious cause then I could deal with it myself! THEY SIMPLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE FEAR-OF-THE-FEAR CYCLE.
I enjoy acupuncture and massage - but I am so bad I need it 24/7.
I don't sleep and my body keeps crying out for food for the nervous energy I use. I get these 'nervous stomach aches' a lot. Does this effect you? I starve myself a lot and maybe this is putting too much demand on my stomach. I can't sit or drive without feeling muscles around my stomack being clenched. Even into my sides so it feels like my kidney regions.
Like you, I am a bloody mess and I feel a real burden on my lovely wife and three young chlidren.

i get that too, bloody hate it, and hate feeling anxious all the time.

I suffer from anxiety, it's been 8 months now. I am on Citalopram which helps and I have Olanzapine if the anxiety gets bad or I can't sleep, it's non addictive. But past few days, my anxiety has been high, I have felt dizzy all week, and I woke at 4am this morning and had diaarhea. I still feel iffy but am at work and have taken an Imodium. I know it's due to anxiety, because when I feel calm, I have no tummy problems at all. I am having counselling and making positive changes to my life, these things are very important. I just have to accept sometimes that I will have a bad day or week etc...and it doesn't mean I am not making progress.
