Last weekend I felt really down and then suddenly I developed a tight presure across the top of my stomach and nausea. So much so my appetite all but disappeared. It was like this all week and I eventually went to the doctors who said I had indigestion and gave me medication.
I was surprised, I always thought indigestion was when you ate too much and felt sick!
Anyway, since then and having learnt it was probably bought on by me being low and anxious, I have got worse.
Several years ago I suffered with panic attacks and mild depression. It was awful. I have only had one panic attack since which was this year and I am proud to say I controlled it. However, I am now feeling like I am constantly on the brink of them again.
The tummy pain from indigestion is worse because of my stupid head now saying your suffereing again, this is a symptom, you're anxious..blah blah. I try to relax, I read all my self help stuff, try to be positive...feel a bit better. Then my stomach knots again and whoosh I feel anxious again.
I now have my IBS back it seems as everything is going straight through me. I seem to be spirraling and I'm scared.
Please help me stop this awful feeling of doom I have that its all coming back to get me again, I'm so scared of going down that path again :weep:
Any help I would be really grateful for, thank you xx
