Morning anxiety / vomiting

Does anyone else deal with this? My anxiety is at its worst when I wake up in the morning and at its best when I go to sleep at night. This morning, I woke up with terrible anxiety and was vomiting acid. I’ve heard this is mostly a symptom of extreme anxiety. This is NOT something I want to be doing and would try just about anything to get these nerves to stop. I’m nervous about my boyfriend coming to visit this weekend. Already. I guess I feel like it’s super important and I can’t do anything to mess it up, so I’m already a bit freaked out about it. We’ve been dating for almost 7 months. I wish seeing him didn’t scare me so much, but I just want the relationship to work so badly that it’s causing me some extreme anxiety. Any tips/advice? I’ve talked to doctors about it and no one has been able to help me.

Yup, I get this. I tackle it with stretching exercises and sips of water in place of my usual coffee. Nibbling on plain soda crackers can help. Sometimes I can bring the foamy goo (I believe it's a mix of phlegm and stress acid) which is upsetting my stomach up without letting it escalate to full vomiting. When I can, the relief is immediate. Spit, rinse and gone. . .

Hope you find what works for you, Brian. Gentle empathy of the yuckery of it. For sure it makes to a rugged start to my day.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
