So I’ve been dealing with stress and anxiety since January, you may have seen a post or two of mine before. I got COVID and became super anxious and stressed and irritable and a huge hypochondriac making sure I wasn’t “sick” again, every little thing I thought I was getting sick again. Was super focused on looking at signs.

Eventually I got some IBS in mid-May because of so much stress and anxiety about going out and finding a place to eat not around people, looking for a place to comfortably take off my mask though I’m vaccinated (in NYC and everyone and their moms are out at every corner). Stress and anxiety gave me crazy stomach pains and diarrhea followed after. I think I’ve managed it now because I really didn’t want to live like that. But stress still continues to give me physical symptoms. 

Here and there if I’m very stressed I get stomach aches and gotta use the toilet. The other day while at my girlfriends for the week, we got into an argument which got me stressed ofc and gave me a stomach ache, whatever i knew it would happen because we were both pretty upset. 

BUT, a couple days ago I had Kombucha which was very acidic and slept with the AC which dried out my throat intensely, then with that fight I feel like a combination of all of those things gave me some canker sores in my throat which has been unbearable. I can’t keep letting these emotions run my life and get myself to a healthier place. My appetite is back in full force but I have to wait for these damn sores to heal so I can eat something besides cup noodles. 

I’m tired of anxiety and stress causing one thing, then another, then another. 

At first it was your typical knots in the back or neck, then IBS, now these sores. I hate this it feels like it’s ALWAYS something one after another.
