Yes, yes, OMG Yes. I think it's a mix of IBS and anxiety that starts with anxiety or maybe with the IBS. Confused? I wake up in the mornings with a knot in my stomach cause I know I have to get on the subway to get to work and I stress over that coupled with the stress of wondering how I'm going to make it through the day and then to have to get back on the train and wonder if I'll make it home. All of that stress from as soon as I get up in the morning starts to nauseate me and because I get motion sick, the last thing I want to do is to get into a moving vehicle, train, bus, etc. but I have to cause I have to go to work. Then I don't eat my oatmeal right away cause I have to wait for the nausea to go away and then just when I think I'm fine, there comes another wave say about 3 hours later and so I have to wait for that to pass to eat my measly slices of french bread with soy butter. Yes, that's all I have for lunch because anything else, even if safe, will make me get sick. Or should I say I will make myself sick. By the time I get home I'm starving but still eat like a rabbit 'cause I know I'll have to go through it all over again the next day.
I just rambled didn't I? Anyway, I always have Ginger Chews on hand to curb the nausea but if the nausea is anxiety driven, even the ginger chews don't help and so I mentally have to fight it off and when I go into that zone, I don't answer my phones, converse with anyone, hell, I don't even check my email solely because I need to use every last bit of energy to fight.
Ok, rambling is over.
P.S. Somehow I still manage to smile through the malaise and crampy pains and you know what? Frankly, I'm tired of doing this everyday!
