Back To School Anxiety And Nautia D Help

Field Trip Anxiety, Need Help!?

I also have had Generalized Anxiety Disorder and social anxiety, though in a much milder form than yours.

I also have car sickness and motion sickness pills don't work on me - in fact they sometimes seem to make me sicker.

This is probably not what you want to hear, but you need to force yourself to go. Here are some ways you can mitigate the problem so that you can get through it:

Firstly, speak to your psychiatrist beforehand. Tell him how you feel about it and ask him what you can do. This is a huge test for you, so you're going to need all the help you can get.

Talk to the teachers who will be on the trip with you about your issues. If there are going to be camp counsellors, talk to them. Some of them may not have dealt with issues like yours before, but I'll bet some have, so you're always best to talk with them beforehand - that way they can be sensitive to your requirements.

When on the journey, sit in the middle of the bus, away from the wheels, and try to concentrate on the horizon. That should minimize the feelings of sickness. If you can get anti-motion sickness pills that work for you, take them. I use metaclopramide - they don't really work for my nausea, but they do stop me throwing up - and they may work fine for you.

Find a place in the camp where you can go to calm down. Ask the teachers if there's a place that you can go that has the things you need - perhaps you need a quiet place where you can be undisturbed for a few minutes so you can de-stress. When you're asking about this, make it very clear what you need.

Make sure you take the drugs and stuff you've been prescribed by your doctor. Don't miss a dose while you're on the trip.

Talk to any friends you have and explain to them that you're freaked out about this trip. Help them to help you by telling them what you might need if you do freak out.

Finally, steel yourself for this. This is like going to war for you, so you have to have that attitude of forcing yourself to get through it. Every day is a battle won and once you get through the first day the second might be easier etc. But anyway you need to force yourself through this. It's a few days of hell for you, but if you can get through it that will be a major battle won against your disorder.

How to get rid of anxiety's nausea?

ive been having moderate anxiety for about 3-4 years now, too much to explain, basically the feelings are....all of a sudden extreme nausea, to the point where i have to stop walking or doing whatever, and close my eyes and tell myself to calm the hell down. the panic attacks aren't too bad, its the nausea that gets me, every time i'm at home or go out i have to stop all of a sudden and try....oh so awfully hard, to keep my cool and not throw up/gag,

anyone have anything like this? the adrenaline and hot flashes i can deal with. i have an extreme fear of throwing up, i think that every time it happens im going to die. choking+no breathing=death. thats how my brain see's it. i can hardly hang out with friends or go out, no way in hell can i go to school or get a job...

ive tried some meds, but they didnt do....ANYTHING, they didnt keep me calm, happy...nothing. it was like eating a sugar pill. that was the Citalopram. hated that stuff too, didnt let me sleep well and my muscles hurt while taking it.

i don't know...4 years is too long to have to drop everything and try not to throw up, whenever a nausea/panick attack decides to come around... it makes me angry, isn't there just a way to STOP my brain from telling me i'm sick? ugh....my friends even KNOW that i'm always saying "i don't feel good" and stuff...

any ideas...or similar stories....anything? i know i'm not the only one out here but GOD, does anyone have an answer for this??? i hate nausea....i'd prefer to take a bullet in the leg.

ive tried "anti-motionsickness/nausea pills" and they kind of made me feel okay for most of the day, but i don't want to have to rely on it you know? so i stopped.

Anxiety is killing me?

I feel it’s about time you seek the care of a doctor. You will find the following article to be helpful in understanding anxiety and depression:

“People suffering from depression often experience anxiety as well. In fact, as many as 90% of people who've been diagnosed with depression also have symptoms of anxiety.1 Similarly, it is common for people diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to also get a diagnosis of depression. If anxiety symptoms appear along with depression, it doesn't necessarily mean you have GAD. Be sure to tell your doctor about all of your symptoms so you will get the right diagnosis.
The symptoms of depression and anxiety often overlap. And you may suffer from one, the other, or both. In fact, the more severe your symptoms are, the more likely it is that you will also be suffering from one or more additional disorders.”

“Whether you suffer from depression, anxiety, or both, it is important to seek the care of a healthcare professional. Depression and anxiety are serious illnesses that require medical intervention. If you suffer from either of these disorders, you are not alone. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, each year approximately 19 million Americans suffer from depression and the same number suffer from an anxiety disorder.3,4 About 4 million suffer from GAD specifically. Men and women of all ages are affected. The good news is that depression and GAD are both treatable.”

Should I tell my parents about my anxiety issues?

I've been experiencing symptoms of anxiety for 2 years now. They started off small and have escalated over time. Not all at once, but I've experienced rapid heart beat, nausea, head aches almost every day, shaking, restlessness, bouts of insomnia, rapid thoughts, feeling on the edge, and along with it always feeling depressed.

It's gotten out of hand. I walk into school (sophomore in high school) and my heart is always pounding. My grades are dropping and with finals next week I just might have an anxiety attack. I fear I won't be able graduate high school. I should have my drivers license by now, but driving gives me such bad anxiety. I quit playing softball because I always worried I'd mess up. I've thought of running away countless times, so I think I should tell my parents.

I thought about leaving a note for my mom right before I leave for school. That way she can read it while I'm at school and give her some space before I get back to talk about it. But I'm so worried! How Ironic, someone being worried about talking about their anxiety. Should I tell them? I feel like I'm dropping a bomb on them. I feel like I really need to get help, but I'm so worried of change. I can't decide! Should I leave the letter? Once I do there's no going back. Help?

Should I go on this school trip?

Hey,
My class is taking a trip to Washington DC. I have severe anxiety and a vomit phobia, as well as celiac disease (gluten allergy). I’m afriad of many things that will happen on this trip. Bus sickness (it’s a 2 1/2 hour ride), having a panic attack and my parents not really being able to get me, vomiting in general, my food situation (not being able to eat gluten), and it’s an overnight trip (only one night) so it’s not like I’m going home hat day. I’ve known my class for a while and I love them, but I just have a lot of concerns. The trip is on Wednesday and it is now Monday. My parents and my therapist both said it would be a good challenge for me, but it’s my decision. I want to go, but I’m very worried. I miss a LOT of school trips, and I feel bad about that. Any feed back? Thank you very much.
