Uncontrollable Stress and Anxiety?
|
|
I find myself suffering problems again with my stomach where I start off the morning with a stomach ache that gradually gets worse throughout the day until I find myself vomiting around 2-3pm every other day, or sometimes two days in a row. These are the same type of stomach issues I was having last year and the year before and come and go in my life. It seems that my mind creates unnecessary stress that causes anxiety which causes me to have severe stomach problems and acidity issues which leads to throwing up.
The stupid thing is I can’t pinpoint what is causing the stress that would be making me feel this miserable last week?
Is it going to the fair last weekend?
Is it that I may be a speaker/presenter at CA World again in April 2010?
Is it that I have to put together a presentation for upper management in a few weeks?
Is it home stress?
Is it worry about my wife’s Halloween Show and hope that it succeeds and does well for her company?
I tend to have no reason for suffering the physical stomach ailments, yet I know they are anxiety and stress related. Sometimes food triggers them, but in other cases they are just because I don’t have a good way to just relax emotionally and just “Hakuna Matata”. Yet I tell myself there is no need to fret on anything and I believe it, but my internal mind just tightens up like a knotted ball.
I may be needing to seek out some meditation techniques soon if I can’t seem to figure out how to solve my stress issues, or at least find the causes.

Does exercise seem to affect your stomach aches? Are there days when you don’t have them? Anything to help pinpoint the cause is obviously good. Is this a new thing or something that has always been a problem just not so frequently?

I’m not a careful reader as you can see. What is common when you have these issues? What causes them to go away? Can you pinpoint events that are related?

I have been plagued by stomach issues for decades, combination Irritable Bowel Syndrome with stress/anxiety, I also have Lactose Intolerance and allergy to sugar which always causes stomach pain.
Start the day with a few tums. It will be insurance for you in your mind. Protection. Keep yourself hydrated as well.
It’s good that you acknowledge the connection stress has to your physical well being. Lots of folks can’t see the connection yet suffer from anxiety and countless physical complaints, never acknowledging the connection. stare the day with a positive affirmation of some sort, like: Ii breathe out my stress and I breathe in vitality and wellness. My gastrointestinal system is healthy and strong.
Be proactive when you start the day, which will ward off “expected” stress. Don’t expect your stress to go to your stomach. Expect it to leave your body. visualize that happening as you feel it coming on. then LET IT GO.
Thanks for the positive message, I am finding that trying to be more optimistic and thinking “Light” is easier said than done in this day and age of stress, but always working toward that balance.
I would say a visit to your doctor is in order. You could have an ulcer or diverticulitis that is aggravated by stress. Both are easily treated with prescription medications.
