    Hi Nicole,

    Yes just about all my adult life. Ive been very stressed with starting a new job and it gets so bad I was up most of one nite and called out the next day. I would take tums, have mint tea or anything to settle my stomach nothing works. and it bothers me so much I dont want to eat or I feel sick. Most of my psychical pain is all in my head. what really does help is talking to people who are important in my life and let them know how I feel. best advice try to stay off the internet and diagnosis yourself, I've done that and you think you have everything you read.

    Also what helps me is reading stuff down, planning my day what I have to do or journal how your day was.

    Hope you feel better

      thanks a kind of feel a little better but jus always anxious. I think im going to look into therapy. i have tried meds for depression but make you feel even more down. but what helps me alot is coming to sites where i dont feel completely alone, its a great feeling, especially when people go through what you are going through.
