anxiety im hopeing!

[saintdee]

hi,

i am having problems with not wanting to eat at the moment, i feel nausea and my mouth drys up the moment i go to eat something solid, i am now working myself up into a state thinking i will never eat again. i wake up in the morning and its as if a wave of shakes and nausea flood over me, i sit at my desk and my leg is forever twitching up and down, i feel lightheaded and so tired! i have suffered for years with various symptoms, but this nausea one is new to me, is it anxiety related? can anyone please sort me out!

Hi sheree yes nausea is a symptom of anxiety (theres so many symptoms lol) it is my main symptom. I find sucking peppermints to help me to feel better x

When I'm going through one of my bigger stages of anxiety I find nausea is one of my main symptons. Because I'm not eating, I worry about losing too much weight and I worry that people will notice I'm not eating and that all increases my anxiety. It's like a never ending circle that is hard to stop, the internal shakes, the sudden drops in my stomach, the sleepless nights and the nausea. I try to eat a little and of things that I can manage a little of - for example a few chips and fish fingers normally work and dried toast is great for a snack.Definitely sounds like anxiety (though for some people I've heard it works the other way and they eat lots) so you're not alone.
