Yes. I often will have nausea, queasiness, upset stomach... when I am very anxious.

Sorry the anniversary of her death is causing you anxiety. I do understand that. Are you still seeing your therapist?

Thank you for your concern. Right now I'm waiting for my new insurance card from my new insurance so I've put the therapist on hold. I hope to make appt by next week.

Absotively, I feel nausea with anxiety. My digestive tract is the first place I feel stress and it's escalated off-shoot, anxiety. A trauma anniversary makes a potent trigger.

Steadying support while you find your path to recovery.

Yes. Definitely yes.

So sorry about losing your mom. I have come to see mine as my best friend and dread the day of losing her.....

My stomach usually bothers me before I realize that I am anxious. Completely typical, even to the point of diarrhea.

It is understandable that you would feel this way. Our emotions can trigger physical responses in our bodies. I still get physical issues even though I take an anxiety pill every morning. I also have a relationship with my Lord and pray a lot when I feel anxious.

My stomach definitely let's me know when I'm anxious. And then I don't want to eat, and then I feel worse because I haven't eaten. Do try to eat a little something healthy. I'm sorry for your loss. and of course the anniversary of your mother's death brings up all kinds of emotions. I broke out in hives the first anniversary of my mother's passing. That was in 2008, and I still miss her every day. But it does get easier. I think your mom would want you to be extra nice to yourself. And she would say have a little something to eat even though your belly is bothering you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I too have experienced the loss of many family members and the anniversary of their passing is hard to face. Have you considered journaling or writing a letter to her each year to release onto paper all of your pent up feelings, emotions and thoughts of what you'd like to say to her? It could be really helpful to get it all out and perhaps help your anxiety levels and internal upset.
Perhaps joining a grief share group could be valuable as well. Its very therapeutic to hear from others who have experienced the same or similar things you have. Be good to yourself and seek the help you need for your body, your emotions and your mental health.

I lost my mom 3 yrs ago on January 5th. We hospiced her at home. I never in a million years thought I would be able to do the things for my mother that a nurse would do! But this time of year does bring on added anxiety as if I really need it. I get really anxious in the mornings and I do have nausea and 'gut distress' to put it nicely.

I try to soothe myself by laying in bed at night and imagining her there with me. I imagine her laughing at me lying there and I talk to her in my head. And then I think of how wonderful Heaven is (if that is your belief) and she is there with the people that have passed before her. Then I think she is truly the one that is better off. She never like the awful things that go on in this world. That all makes me feel better about her being gone from my life.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a mom is a tough one The anxiety you’re feeling is normal given it brings back memories of your loss. You’ll either have to be more intentional about this time if year by keeping yourself busy with things that make you smile. Or reflect on the wonderful moments with your mom. My daughter suffered from anxiety in her youngest days and it would surely give her an upset feeling in her stomach. Breath and focus on the blessings in your life.
