First post ever!

Hi all! My first post ever and I’m not sure how this all works. I am now experiencing nausea and wondered if this is part of anxiety symptoms. All this stuff has started in the last month and I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.

Hey, welcome. In my experience nausea can definitely be an anxiety symptom! I usually get it when i'm really nervous about something. When I was a kid I used to have nausea everyday before school.

Do you have any other symptoms?

Hello there Overwhelmed. That is terrible how you feel and I understand it completely. If you are suffering any kind of anxiety or depression you can experience all kinds of physical symptoms.

Our brains or mind is connected to our body, while we are still in the life at least, so it is understandable that mental sickness would affect the body.

You may feel breathless, have a racing heart that makes you feel like you are about to die, or actually throw up. You may get headaches, body aches, feel dizzy and get blurred eyesight. Sorry!

As for coming on here, you have done the right thing in gaining support. We are all a friendly bunch and the majority of us are going through the same thing.

Can you see your doctor about getting some medication to help, or see a therapist? There is always a reason that anxiety starts although many of us don't end up finding the reason for it.

You may have gone through some trauma at some time in your life. Even if it was when you were a child. Symptoms can rear their ugly head years later when we are adults that leave us confused to their origin.

Please come back on here any time. Ramble on, tell us all how you are feeling and we are here for you.

When you notice that your anxiety is kicking off, take a deep breath and hold it in. Count to four and it will relax you even if it is just a bit, it will relax you.

I'm looking forward to reading your posts, so a very warm welcome to the forum.
