Anxiety sickness

Hello,


just wondered if anyone had the same feelings as me. When I am hit by anxiety I get a rush of hotness/ prickles over my body and start to feel really sick. Often my anxiety will make me physically sick and having no appetite what so ever. 


Does anyone get this ?

Hi there! I personally don't get prickles over my body but I do feel hot and almost constrained. I also feel a lump in my throat and that I can't breath very well. Everyone has different symptoms to anxiety but you're never alone!

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

Those symptoms are normal when anxiety spikes.

Anxiety is natural and a part of us as any other part.

Stay hydrated, as that helps to reduce those symptoms naturally.

Best wishes as you find what works for you.

Thank you. I have been so sick and not eaten for the last few days. I have lost so much weight over the last few weeks and worried about it on top of everything else.

I’m just really struggling- is there anyone anybody has spoken to or other support groups ? I am getting desperate.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
