    Default Having a Bit of a Dilemma!

    So here's what's been happening, for the past 6 weeks I've had this weird stomach ache and upset stomach along with other symptoms, and I'm seeing a Dr. about it soon, but the problem right now is that the stomach ache spikes and falls throughout the day, and right now it's really bad. The stomach ache along with my anxiety (even though I'm sure I'm not really coming down with anything I still get freaked out) are up at the moment, and my problem is, I had to leave for college half an hour ago. I tried to take a shower but a few moments into it I felt so sick I had to just get out and lay down. I'm not sure if I'll get a fast enough reply, but I don't know weather or not I should still go to college. It's not a real bad problem, but coupled with anxiety and plus the drive to school on the highway doesn't help either. I just wanted to know what anyone thinks I should do about this situation.

    Maybe the drive will help distract you. If the pain has been going on for a while amd you havent been sick then why would today be any different? I know its easier said than done but dont let this phobia rule your life.

    Actualy, it's a little late, I decided not to go. I get what you mean, and I have actually done really well with my anxiety, when I was in high school I would panic so much and never wanted to leave the house. but that's all pretty much history now, it's just that whatever's bothering my stomach makes for a really miserable drive because it's distracting, same goes for class, it's hard to pay attention with it as bad as it is. Normally I wouldn't eat breakfast but today I thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad, and I was wrong. If it wasn't for whatever's causing this stomach ache, I wouldn't even be anxious. It just feels miserable, and I have only ever missed 1 class anyways besides today lol.
