ally - when my nausea started I didn't feel "anxious" either. Like, when I think of "anxiety" i think of being restless, rapid heartbeat, can't breathe... things like that. And I wasn't having any feelings like that at all, only felt nauseous. So I understand how you feel. It is so confusing. I really just feel "sick" overall, and run-down. Just don't feel good. So I find it hard to accept that what I have is anxiety, but all of my test results are 100% fine. I trust my doctors, and I trust the results, it's just still a little confusing for me.

I'm doing better now, eating without much of a problem, although I don't really get enjoyment out of eating a meal like I used to. I just eat because I know I have to, and I'm able to get the food down. Still feel slight nausea off and on all day but I'm able get through the day, but still feel that dragged down feeling, exhausted, and overall "blah". I just push myself to keep moving, and when I'm constantly busy doing things my mind isn't focusing on the nausea and it helps make it go away a little. It's happening slowly.

A few weeks ago I would not get out of bed, wouldn't take a shower or even brush my teeth because I felt so sick, like literally felt like I was dying. I am far from that now.. I got up today, showered and got myself ready, drove around and dropped off resumes to 15 different offices, and went to a friend's house for a visit... so that is a MAJOR improvement from where I was.

Look toward the positive. Block out the negative. Find something positive every day and you will slowly get better. You can't expect it to get better over night (even though I would love to wake up tomorrow and magically feel like my normal self again) It takes time, the more you get frustrated and agonize over your symptoms, the more anxiety you will add to it. Just let it roll off your shoulders, tell yourself nothing is wrong, and push forward.
