Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I've noticed on a few occasions in the morning that my left abdomen has had this mild dull pain that comes and goes. After I go to the bathroom it subsides and gets better during the day. I have the usual rounds with anixiety and when its high, I tend to be able to focus in on body sensations more easily and obsess about them.
Does this dull pain that comes and goes sound like IBS? I would almost say it feels kinda like gas but maybe a little more painful. I know I should check it out but I was doing some reading online and it sounded kind of like IBS and I've read there are links to anxiety.
Last night I didn't get enough sleep and I always dread work on Monday which usually elevates my anxiety.
I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this issue

Hello- I am new to the group

My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending. She said that there are needs and there are wants. She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it? The answer is mostly "no". So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed. I also bought sheets that I don't need...
By doing this, you can eliminate several issues, and help reduce the anxiety associated with this real symptom of anxiety spikes and resting tensed muscles. I started doing some simple movements to help the muscle release the tension and the feeling disappears fast.
However, I also know that certain foods are craved by me during anxiety spikes, so when it happens, I take note of the other factors now, and this helps me to manage anxiety better on my terms.
Best wishes, and give yourself a positive pep talk to help you switch from weekend to weekday!
Have a good week!
Sometimes anxiety can amplify something to the point where something simple feels more ominous than it really is. so frustrating
I know that some times we(anxiety sufferers) worry a lot about things especially with our health but if something is bothering you and you're concerned about it. It's best to check it out with a doctor, especially if it persists for a week or more.
Take care,
