I’ve struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had intense physical reactions to my anxiety. I wake up with a nervous stomach and usually have to use the bathroom frequently or sometimes I throw up. My body feels achy and tight. And just a racing heart and overall can’t relax. 

I am on medication which does help over all but it doesn’t seem to help with these flair ups. I’m trying to work on mindfulness and being present. I think most of my anxiety stems from fear of the future and comparison and last regrets. All of things I know I need to work on. It just seems so hard when I have these awful physical symptoms that make it so hard to do the things like meditate and exercise and be present. 

Is anyone else like this? Doesn’t anything particular work for you.
