Worried

[Trikay12113]

So, I’ve been super nauseous the last few days but being nauseous is a regular for me because of my anxiety, so I can’t tell the difference and I’m scared to look up stuff and get my anxiety going even more. But i think I could possibly have the flu or getting the flu. I’ve been super nauseous, my stomach feels icky, I’m hot and then cold and shaky, tired, weakish. But my anxiety brings on so many physical symptoms I can’t tell the difference. Plus I have a fear of throwing up as ridiculous that may sound but I really don’t want to and it makes me nervous.

Fear of vomiting (emetophobia) is not abnormal at all. I also have an irrational fear of vomiting and no matter how hard I try to just let it happen when I need to do it, I still find myself trying to hold it back. This is a common fear. My cousin is the same way and will avoid it at all costs.

All of your symptoms can be caused by anxiety, but it's that time of year, all sorts of funk is going around. It's very possible you're coming down with something. Anxiety will only make the symptoms worse. IMO you don't need to worry at all though. People have bugs, flu, etc, all the time and they're fine.

I am experiencing the same symptoms right now! I've been nauseous,shaky,weak this past week and idk why. I also have a fear of vomiting. I've had that fear since i was a kid. Like i get super scared about throwing up especially in a public place. When i was in school i used to always fear getting sick in class

I can completely relate to your post. I bet you just have a sickness and it will pass.
I understand though, I’m also scared of throwing up, and I can never be sure what symptoms are real and what is my anxiety wreaking havoc. I hope you feel better soon!

flu symptoms almost always hit hard and fast. most people feel fine one minute and then over the course of a few hours, you're down for the count.

I have the same going on, came out of no where last night. My stomach is just turning, vomiting, can’t eat, weak. I have HA and I’m trying real hard to convince myself it is nothing serious and just the flu bug. Ugh
