Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello first time writing and finding this very hard to do. I am having a lot going on. Moving country leaving job and getting married. For past year I have been have all sorts of strange symptoms. Medically I'm a perfectly healthy 25 year old rugby player. But every morning I wake up feeling 'off' the last two months my symptoms have been truely awful. Everytime I have something big coming up like today handing my notice in I get really bad nausea followed by bad stomach then racing heart beat. I have a huge phobia of being sick (vommit). My symptoms are getting very bad so much so can't work or play rugby as always worried going to get 'set off'. I'm finding this so so hard to explain symptoms one day its heart burn next stomach. I have no one to relate to feel so alone and crazy and very sad by the day. Its affecing everything. Doctor gave me anti depressants but I always experience horrible side affects and drowsyness which normally makes me worse.
Any advice help or anything before I really loose it.
Thankyouy

Over the past months it's saved me from total irrational fear many times. Even if you can just dedicate half an hour to one each day...I know that some days I can hardly wait to get half an hour to do mine I enjoy the feeling if being totally relaxed and free so much.

Best way of tackling with it is head on. So don't cancel rugby games and other such things. Go to them. What is the worst that can happen? Being sick will not end your life but becoming a recluse by avoiding people will.
I would cut out stimulants such as caffeine and chocolate as they can make one feel even more hyper. And try and do some relaxing activities.
Also please remember that you are going through 3 massive things - moving, leaving your job and getting married, and your body and certainly mind are in a state of hyper alert because of these changes.

I can not physically play rugby because I feel well and true bad before a game and no energy.
I have avoided social events and eating out for past 3\4 month because every time I get very nausea.
I will try to go to social events more just so worried about that unwell feeling and panic I get.

so you have to get on top of the anxiety and reduce the symptoms... A good balance between exercise and relaxation will help....even if it's moderate exercise like a brisk walk...and anything that you feel relaes you xx
