I have always suffered from anxiety. But in the last few months it’s got very bad. The worst part is I wake up feeling so so sick. It’s horrendous. I usually need the bathroom for very loose the other end (sorry tmi). I know it’s linked to the anxiety as I don’t feel unwell otherwise. My heart is banging when I wake up. As the day goes on it’s better but why does this happen first thing? I have been to gp loads over the years but always been reluctant to take meds, I’m anxious about those too.

Also I don’t really know why I’m anxious! So it’s hard to fix it if you see what I mean

Please see your GP. It doesnt have to be this way.

I feel for you. I wake up drenched in sweat from horrible nightmares most nights. Please try and seek counselling, you don't have to take meds if you don't want to. But if you're having loose stools you could try taking immodium or other diarrea relief just before bed? If you have stomach cramps peppermint tea is really good too.
Could you try meditation, breathing exercises?

Thank you. I have tried breathing exercises which help a bit. @BobbyBiscuits I just don’t understand what exactly I’m anxious about? It’s a general feeling of dread

@anxieruy I know. That's what anxiety is. There isn't necessarily a rational reason at all. It's just an emotion. Very powerful one at that. Please try and relax. Try and book some counselling, through GP or privately? I hope you feel better x
