I suffer from anxiety really bad. I tend to want to isolate myself at times. I get really nauseated alot. Most nights I don't feel good. Is that normal?

I get nauseated a lot too. I used to throw up a lot. That used to be my life.

When I first started having anxiety, it was about 2-3 months before I could really eat food again. I lived on nutrition shakes because that was all I could manage to force down. I also couldn't watch TV because that seemed to really agitate my restless mind. I wanted to be alone because I didn't want any "stimulus" to set me off.

It'll get better :-) Other than a few lingering "what ifs" that bug me a few times a week, (and I do try to ignore them) I lead a completely normal life now. A lot of progress for someone who couldn't even leave the house last January!

This overwhelming nausea used to happen to me all the time when I first started having panic attacks. Now it only happens a few times a month. I carry peppermints and orbit chewing gum all the time for this reason. They help a lot. Try it.

i get the same thing when i am very anxious. my stomach goes nuts, whether it's nausea or loose stools (sorry to be gross). i really haven't found a solution, but i will tell you, as everyone has before me, that this is a completely normal side effect of anxiety, unfortunately.

I get nauseous too. I had a bad day today and have tried most everything I have in the house in order to get it under control. I woke up sick to my stomach. Gingerale seems to be the only thing that I can really keep down.
