Hi Guys,

I feel like my life is falling apart! I just cant seem to see all of this being anxiety! my issues as follows:



feeling weak
feeling sick
stomach pains
temp (maybe as I'm using a strip one and its coming up as a low fever)
slight headache
heavy feeling in the top of both arms (like I have lifted something heavy)


This started on Saturday with a stomach ache and things come on over the following days, before this started I didn't really have any anxiety (some money issue) I just cant seem to tell myself its nothing serious :( if there is anyone who has had the same thing could you send over some encouragement? to help me believe that it is all in my head?

Thanks :)

Hi
I have been there and am actually there at the moment. I know and you know that we can do this to ourselves so why can't we believe it? I am feeling constantly nauseas at the moment and have pain in my left rib. I have had all of the above at times. Can I convince myself it's not something awful. No. But reason tells me it is anxiety. And so is yours. I wish I could take this all consuming fear away but I can't. Just keep reminding yourself that anxiety loves to have you feeling fearful. At the moment it is winning. x

Thank you suzie, It really is awful isn't it? I just wish I could shut it off sometimes, I just keep thinking well I have never had this before and it could be something ect ect xxx

That is just what anxiety wants you to think. When my husband points out that I've been through whatever it is before I always seems to say - 'Yes , but this time it's different'. It's neverending. I know. Why do we let it win all the time. What I hate is the fact that one day something really will be wrong and I will look back and regret all those wasted years when I was healthy but crippled by HA. I am 56 and still suffering. Please don't let this win

Thank you for replying :) I've been having I on and off still and allot of nausea, I am thinking anxiety as I would have thought a tummy bug would have passed by now?
I just keep telling myself over and over that its in my head! I could probably believe it if it wasn't for the tummy pains :(
now thinking pancreatic cancer! argggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ggggggg


Thanks again xx

Gastroenteritis (tummy bug) is sooo common, can be mild or severe, and last a week! I had 2 bouts this year confirmed by my GP. One lasted 8 days. If not a bug, anxiety and fretting will make all of this worse, as you know. If it's a virus there is literally nothing you can do except push fluids and wait to feel better.
