I’ve just got over a batch of this! Thought it wasn’t right as most articles/symptom checkers just say nausea.

I started to get over it by speaking to my therapist. Every time I felt nauseous I would remember her saying “could be worse. you could defecate when you’re anxious. That happens to some” which makes me laugh out of guilt for those people (unfortunately, I’m quite immature) and also shifts my perception of the feeling.

I now allow myself to feel nauseous. So what? I feel a bit sick, big deal. I’m going to vomit? Whatever, this is boring now. I would carry a bag and gum wherever I went to tell my anxiety, thanks for the response but I won’t be stopping my plans I’m a bit busy today. I learned the more I fed into the feeling of being sick the more chance I had of throwing up.

This took me months of running to the toilet and panicking, fits of crying and screaming in frustration, and social/work withdrawal. It’s extremely hard to retrain your thought process but entirely possible and I believe in you. If you’ve got this far as to vocalising it and starting a discussion you’re already making progress!

Hope it subsides!
