Anxiety

Dec 16, 2008 07:36AM - 1 comments

I have recently noticed that my stomach gets more upset the more I get nervous about stuff.  I used to think that there was really something wrong with my stomach, but alas it's just anxiety.  I can't continue to live like this.  Losing weight and getting sick because of anxiety.  Every weekday morning I wake up sick.  Less sick on the weekend.  I guess it's because I don't really like my job.  I work for a government contractor and it's very stressful because people all around me are stress out.  I'd rather not work here but I can't find a new job and what I feel like doing is taking some time off from working to decrease the stress so that I can start on a medication.  I have worked with a doc to get me on a medication but my stomach is so screwed up that every time I take something I get sick.  I am not on any medication anymore because my old stupid doctor decided in his invinite wisdom to take me off of it.  Now I am a wreck.  Every little thing that I get nervous about my stomach goes into overdrive.  I have so many stressors in my life it's not healthy at all.

I am sorry that you're having to go through this....I know all about anxiety and what it can do.
Speaking from past experience, yes, reducing the stressors in your life is a priority.May I ask why you can't find other employment?

I am wondering if you have ever tried a Vitamin B shot monthly ? In the past I also used some herbal medications that helped a tremendous amount...they don't work for everyone however and I am curious if you've explored that avenue.

Keep your chin up and remain positive, there is something out there that can help you. Keep pestering the doctors' also, never give up.

Take care and here is to a less stress filled day- cheers! :)
