What causes your n*?

[ginger_saves]

I would say that mine is definitely from severe anxiety attacks, although I am on 3 different meds I have to take daily ( maybe thay have something to do with it). The anxiety is my main cause for n*, esp. during PMS time. I feel like pregnant woman symptoms.

Why? Why does it happen? Why?

I really don't get N* very often. I feel ,although having severe emet, I don't stress over it as much as many here do. I don't think about it every second. I feel so bad, truely, for those on here that have the CONSTANT worry, because I do understand what that worry is like. If I was to come down with stomache flu, or drink to much, I would and have had that dark, lonely, dreadful wanting to run from it as fast and hard as I can feeling. I do understand totally. When I am to the v* stage, I panic as bad as the rest on here. My hands sweat, my mouth gets dry, my heart races, I get dizzy, I beg, plead and pray to God it doesn't happen, I feel like I want to escape myself and yet I can't. Its the most empty, dark, lonely feeling ever and I HATE it. I would rather die at that very moment. DIE! I think with age, although the fear is as bad, I don't have the daily, constant worry, every waking second. I do think about it daily, I do wash my hands a lot, I make my kids wash alot, I wipe down toilets and bathrooms everyday, I wonder when I go out to eat, if the cooks are sick, etc. but I don't panic and feel N* everyday. I really freak though, because I know that when I am N*, its for real! I don't ever make myself sick. ever! So it wouold be the real thing, unfortunatly. Anyway, thats my story with N* and me and emet.

The biggest nausea attacks I've had recently (3 in the last year) have all been down to drinking too much alcohol!!! (and partly overeating at the same time)
