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 had two episodes of extreme anxiety today: one during classes in the morning, because of a mean teacher (long story); and the other one before and during my volleyball training. So yeah, I was nervous, anxious, scared and stressed out most of the day.
My anxiety attacks usually include shaking, sweating, rapid heartbeat, short breath, loss of focus, feeling overly warm and paralized, headaches every once in a while, etc. But this was the first time I ever felt nauseated.
I'm also anorexic purging type, but that's another story... however, this feeling was different. My stomach was already empty when the nausea started in the morning, and when I did vomit in the shower after training at night before eating anything at all.
Could this be because of anxiety? Stress? Does someone else feel this way?

Yes, I also get nausea and also sometimes in times of extreme anxiety I actually vomit. It doesnt seem to make any difference if ive actually eaten or not. One of the things that helped me enormously was to read this book.'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. It really teaches you to live 'in the moment'.
Dont ever feel alone, there are many people here that feel the same and are here to care and support you. Sending you hugs and hoping you have a good day.
