Nausea..
Q:
However i feel i need to get more help as it keeps resurfacing for
no particular reason.. It is not too bad but I can't eat due to
nausea , for a few days sometimes. I take maxalon (anti-nausea tabs)
but feel awful. <The therapist's> stuff really can't help with
that sort of thing. I am losing weight and feel this needs to be
addressed. Any ideas ? Nutritionist perhaps ?
A: It doesn't resurface for no particular reason! Hasn't
<the therapist> taught you about your thinking and how this
creates 99% of the problem if you have panic disorder or 100% if you
one of the other anxiety disorders? Also haven't you been taught to
understand your setbacks? We all need to understand this in great
detail. It is this understanding which prevents future relapses even
if you do have a panic attack or a burst of high anxiety.
In regards to the nausea. I had this symptom also, in fact it was
the last symptom to go. I used Maxalon, but I also knew that if I
didn't eat I was much more vulnerable in getting caught up in my old
thinking patterns and I was much more vulnerable to dissociation
(that is the other 1% of panic disorder see above) , panic attacks
and the resulting anxiety. I ate six small high protein meals a day.
If it got too hard I would eat a high protein soup and/or use
powered Sustegan ( I can't spell it). I also used to drink
Woodroofe's Lemonade, that is the best one for nausea.
Some people say peppermint tea can really help this as well.
There is also an acupressure point into between your thumb and
finger. If you can find it, just apply pressure and the nausea can
disappear.
I finally learned to let the nausea just be there. If I was
feeling sick, then I was feeling sick, why worry about it! So what!
It finally disappeared.
