Let me preface my post by saying that in September, my uncle committed suicide and I had a super busy semester (working 50-60 hour weeks between school & work). I keep trying to remind myself that I'm probably just recovering from months of stress, but I keep freaking out about everything.
When I get anxious, I tend to also get nauseous and sometimes gag. It's worse when I have to get up early - if I can sleep in a bit, it's not as bad. But for several days last week I couldn't make it to work because I was so anxious. I literally woke up anxious and shaking (chills). The cold spell here in the southern US didn't help, either.
I don't know how to stop being anxious and ruminating. I get anxious about becoming anxious. It's a vicious loop and I can't kick myself out of it. I start class again next week and I'm freaking out that I won't be able to function.
I have acid reflux and IBS and I keep freaking out that the morning nausea is some kind of physical illness that mimics GERD/LPR. Like all my anxiety and nausea symptoms are from an ulcer, or diabetes, or gallbladder disease, or .... the list goes on.
