Severe tummy pain and can’t eat from being so anxious

Posted , 3 users are following.

I know that anxiety can cause these symptoms but how bad can it get? Does anyone suffer badly enough that its stopping them leave the house even? I feel so sick that its making me think the worst thoughts of sinister illness and this is making me more anxious and more sick in tummy. Is this a common thing? It is now a vicious cycle of tummy pain and anxiety spiralling out of control! Please does anyone else get this?

    anxiety can definitely feel horrible. the more you think about it the worse your stomach is going to feel. I worried so much that I ended up with gastritis which is very painful. I don’t have it anymore because I changed how I was thinking. Did you have it checked out by a doctor? if you’ve had it for a while, it would be a good idea to do that. Just to make sure everything‘s OK. for now stay away from caffeine, sugar, junk food, soda pop which can make the stomach feel worse.

    take care of yourself

    hiiiii! When I was first diagnosed i really struggled to leave the house. I would make my parents leave full shopping carts because I would panic in the middle of the shopping centre's.

    I was at the DR weekly. I know it's easy for me to say but try to not allow yourself to get "Stuck" at home. You can do this. 🙏🏻
