am I the only one who gets so much nausea for the anxiety that my ocd gives me? it doesnt matter what im doing or where I am, i always have this feeling of like needing to throw up and it feels like im starting to get used to it, i have nausea right now, it used to scare me so much because I saw tiktoks saying a lot of different causes in life causing this and sent me crazy, im so scared
dont worry, i have this too, pretty much as soon as i wake up.
I always get nauseous when I’m panicking. Sometimes it’s the only symptom. I also have a phobia of vomiting so it’s especially distressing
I deal with it throughout the day also and sometimes it makes it hard to eat but I’m making myself eat because I need to…sometimes it’s subdued and sometimes it’s really bad like I’m gonna throw up but it hasn’t been that bad for a couple weeks
I’ve had these recently. I would get light headed and then tired.
Yep, I don’t get extremely nauseous anymore but I will have times where I get nauseous. Usually if it’s in the morning or if i haven’t ate anything that day. I keep a bottle of peppermint essential oil I can sniff if it gets too bad. That definitely helps. <3
hello ocd community! my obsessions and fear of throwing up and compulsions of praying about it cause me to have physical anxiety and my stomach hurts almost every night before i sleep. this triggers my ocd because i am deathly afraid of throwing up which causes me to act on obsessions when i start to feel sick. the anxiety and stomach aches can trigger each other, and when one happens, it is a vicious cycle and they make each other worse. i have a hard time getting out of this headspace or relaxing without taking xanax or drinking alcohol, and if i don’t, i will stay paralyzed in fear for 1-2 hours. any suggestions for healthy coping strategies? anybody have similar fears?
Does anyone else make themselves feel physically sick when they’re anxious? It’s like I’m making myself sick with reoccurring thoughts of worry. If you do, how do you make yourself feel better in those moments..?
I spend a lot of time ruminating about my health and how I'm going to get past all of the thoughts I think of and the events that I think of in the past. It leaves me really nauseous randomly throughout my days. Anyone else get this from their OCD? It makes me worry more about my health
