Tickle in the belly
Posted , 5 users are following.
Anyone else try to do something and feel anxious tickle in their bellies? Doesn't hurt, but put you on edge just the same. Seems the more I am alone with myself the deeper inward I look at different aspects of my physical being. Super aware of ever ache and pain and what it could be connected to. Pretty sensitive to just about everything. Guess I am not use to being alone. Kind of scary not having anyone here to talk to or take me to ER if I need to go. Not that i am at that point, just things that cross my mind. Lack of sleep. Worry, who knows. Just chalk it up to another symptom of the infamous anxiety disorder that plagues us.

Yes I've had that feeling in the stomach more times than I can count. I also know what it's like to be alone and thinking about all of this. It's not a good feeling at all. But I've learned that it's not good to be alone all the time because like you said, your thoughts start getting negative and that's when fear happens about every little ache and pain. Keep in mind that the vast majority of aches and pains are nothing serious. I also learned how to become "aware" that I am actually overthinking things and that I need to get more active and busier. Because when I would sit around and think about it, I would actually get more symptoms and feel worse mentally. The thing is that there's not much doctors can do other than prescribe medication. The rest is up to us. That's when I got some counseling which really helped. It helped just talking to someone else in person and venting everything. This is hard to to do alone. We need human interaction when we are going through these things.
see if you can get out more and do some things, even simple things like going for a walk, doing something for someone else keeps your mind off of yourself, anything you enjoy doing rather than sitting and thinking.
If you can, speak with a counselor. They see this every single day and know how to help. They gave me some great direction. Hang in there

Seesion with therapist went wonderfully. It was my first visit with her so it was more of an interview to decide if she liked me and I liked her and if she would be effective. Something they do I guess. We get into the meat of my problems and more history next week. But she put me st ease and gave me raw data that made me feel better. I am not alone, explained the different types of meds and what exactly they do. She was very empathetic and she herself has experienced anxiety as well. Which we alll have, it's just worse for some of us than others. In short the interview was a success and the nervousness I felt about going there was for nothing. Kind of felt foolish afterwards for working it up to make it such a big deal in my head. Thanks for checking on me. And keep writing.
