    Hi Ruby. Do you have IBS at all? You might be going through a bit of a stressful/anxiousperiod, which is affecting your whole system. I had the same thing a few months ago - I hated waking up and immediately feeling uncomfortable. But it *does* go away! Just try some relaxation techniques, maybe before you go to bed, or just throughout the day. Making little alterations in your life to make it less stressful can really help you feel better [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]


    I know waking up and feeling n* is an emet's worst nightmare, but just keep reminding yourself that its only anxiety, and that you can control howyou feel. Once you start believing that, you'll feel better, I promise!

    I go through this too, but I think mine is because I am really stressed at work right now. It only hits me on days I have to go to work.


    I used to get it almost every morning though, and it was IBS related. It seemed to be triggered by my thinking about it, you know what I mean? If I wasn't thinking and worrying about it happening, I'd feel fine, but the second I thought about it, it would start. I was able to help my IBS mainly thorugh some diet changes and stress management.


    I hope you feel better!

    Are you on any type of meds to help with your anxiety? I just see your posts a lot and see that you struggle way more then you should. It may be a good idea to see someone that can help you better cope so you don't have to live every day in fear. Your stomach problems all have to do with anxiety. That is all that it is. When you are constantly worried or stress the first thing that will be affected is your physical being (stomach). I know how much a struggled in the past. I could never live a normal life with out being care free and worry free. I would encourage you to really step up and get some help so you can be happy...you deserve it. It is so hard on your body to feel the way you do all the time. I know how much meds and counseling worked for me...maybe you should give it a try and see what it can do for you!!

    HUGS!

    thanks...i was doing really good until about three weeks ago when my bf
    got sick..and then the old emet me came back, and im scared and worried
    all the time. I dont have insurance, or really any money which is why i
    dont go to counlsing any more, and i dont believe in popping pills to
    help with everything. i dont even really take tylonal. My mom was a
    hippie and i grew up that way, i dont even know how to swallow pills.
    I love Sam
