Since I was a teen, my primary and essentially only anxiety symptom is nausea. It’s constant: all day, every day, unrelenting. Some days it’s worse than others. My anxiety attacks are most often a result of feeling nauseous, and my nausea is caused by my anxiety, and I am also emetophobic, so it’s endless. I can’t break the cycle. My usual remedies no longer help (mint gum, nauzene tabs, Dramamine, dunking my hands in ice or scalding hot water). I’m on a wait list to get in to therapy, but over the past 6 mos my anxiety has suddenly become unbearable. I’m anxious and/or having an anxiety attack more often than I am feeling good. 

I hate feeling like this. I love my life. I love what I have. It is everything I ever dreamt of…. And yet, all of a sudden, my anxiety has made me essentially house-bound, constantly nauseous, and extra emotional. I am so tired of feeling this way. I am not suicidal at all, but man, I would give anything to not feel like this anymore.
