How do I stop stress from making me physically ill?
Posted by admin
Kelly asked:
I have found that when I get stressed, nervous, worried, tense, etc I start to get physically sick. Usually my stomach is what gets upset the most. This happens for all kinds of stress including: tests, relationship fights, big vacations, moving away from home, anything.
I need to get over this, sometimes I even stress about getting sick from becoming stressed about becoming sick.
Anyone have any ideas? This has been going on for years and I can’t stand it anymore.
yes anxiety is definitly apart of it.

excercise can be a good stress reliever,especially if it is outdoors.
make time for yourself,and do things you enjoy,that take your mind off things,that cause you stress.

Well you’re saying it’s stress, but is any of it anxiety? I know that alot of my “stress” is anxiety about things like you mentioned, tests, etc. and there are now alot of anti-anxiety medications you can get so that it won’t cause the physical symptoms to exist or exist as badly as they are now. There are also many other things you can do to help you learn to deal with stress/anxiety so that it won’t effect you as badly such as yoga, deep breathing, and anti-anxiety exercises. If you don’t take care of this problem you will likely end up with stomach ulcers from the stress so please talk to your doctor.
