tired of feeling like this

I am always feeling so sick lately and I am getting so sick of it. I feel like my life is on hold at the moment because I feel sick. I don't even feel well when I am at home so I have no safe place to run and hide. I absolutely hate feeling sick to my stomach which I am dealing with a lot lately. I am hoping and praying that my medication will kick in soon so I can enjoy life again. I just don't understand why we as people have to go through this crap, what is the point? It seems like such a waste of time. I feel like I offer nothing to the world because I don't work, I am scared to travel for fear of being sick away from home. I just want to wake up in the mornings and feel good and ready to have a productive day, but at this point my biggest accomplishment is to just live throughout the day.

I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I just feel like I don't contribute anything to the world. It's hard to go on sometimes. I hope you start feeling better.

I'm so sorry that you feel sick all the time. That's awful. I had a similar feeling with a giant knot in my stomach for months and months.

All I can say (and I'm going through a setback right now so I have to tell myself this, too) that once you find what works for you, medication, meditation, exercise, nutrition change, therapy, etc. it does change the way you feel. Just hang in there until the right combo starts working for you.

I am going through the same thing as you right now. Just started on new medication 20 days ago. Can I ask what you are taking? I have been eating healthy and exercising, and its not helping much. I have hope knowing that this will pass. Huggs.

Ginger is great for nausea. I take the travel sickness tablets because its easy and works quickly.

Sometimes just getting through the day is all you can do. I have days i have to talk myself step by step just to get up and ready for work. I hope you start to feel better soon. Take it day by day.

Thank you all for the great words of wisdom. It is nice to know that I am not alone. I will give the ginger a try.

One of the messages of nausea is that if you fix the stomach issue correctly, the anxiety can also be addressed. Probiotics might help a lot. There are a lot of studies showing that probiotics can actually help with anxiety - as well as stomach issues.

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
