For some reason it didn't put my post up so I hope it don't do this twice!! But I am new to this site and I just noticed that nobody has replied and I completely understand how you feel!! That is me to a T. Nobody understands at all! I feel like a freak cause I can't be like a normal person. I constantly feel nauseous, I can't enjoy life, I am full of anxiety constantly. My stomach is always in knots. I would give anything to be "normal". Were you able to do your tests??

I've been there...It really sucks!! I mean really!! I used to be afraid to walk my dogs around the block for fear i would get sick on the way, i remember i would have panic attacks on my front step because i really didn't want to leave the "comfort" of home- cause if i was gonna be sick id rather it be home.
Im by no means cured, but i am wayyyy better. The secret for me was #1. getting a good therapist (If you don't think one is working, keep trying new ones, i went through 7 therapists before i found a good one!) #2. Dont give in! Dont leave somewhere if your starting to panic, stay there and just try to relax yourself- you are giving in to your fears if you try and "run" from them, and when you give in to your fears they only get stronger! Also make sure to get out everyday #3 find your passion! For me it was my horse- I was a mess everywhere except when i was at a horse barn. Everyone has a passion so you have to find yours. Its a place where you can go or something you can do, that will- i dont want to say make your forget, but at least it will make you more comfortable. #4 Say or think 2 positive things for every negative thought you have- I always thought this was stupid but it works, it helps you see the world in a more positive light. I wish you the best of luck and i hope things get better for you!!

Oops another important one for me #5 Medication, I dont really recommend it long term- just until the therapy, positive thinking and everything else start to work. Also other things may work for you like meditation or yoga. Try to find and do more things that make you happy :)

I can leave my house but if I have to leave in a hurry, I panic. I wonder did I shut the coffee pot off, is the stove off, doors locked, windows shut, lights off, etc.. I didn't realyze this was a prob till Hubby stood up and said."don't worry, if the house blows up it just blows up." I can't get comfortable in public. I have to go home. I sweat and get sick to my stomache. I will hurry with what I'm doing.Even eating is done in 5 minutes so I can get home. Is this worth worrying about or is this normal. Like I said, "This only happens when I am rushed out the door. I also can't walk alone by myself.
