I need some encouragement
Hi all, its been a long time since I have posted. I have been having a difficult time in the evenings again lately. An overwhelming feeling of nausea, not being able to eat and just exhausted. I just need some reminders that this is JUST ANXIETY....Do any of you deal with this in the evening times. I have read a lot of posts regarding this happening in the morning but, not so much from evening sufferers. Hope everyone is doing well....

Hello formyboys,
I have not experienced nausea at night, but I was just going through my session 4 homework and I needed to talk.
What kind of work are you doing during the day? What is your living situation? The reason I ask is because you say this only happens in the evening.
Also I am in a situation that is very stressful myself. I am living with my daughter and her husband because my finances are so messed up, and my son-in-law doesn't want me here. In fact my daughter told me last night that I have to move by the end of June.
Here I am after raising 3 children and 2 husbands and I can't even provide shelter for myself. I am trying really hard to stay focused and not sink into depression, but it is very difficult. I stay in my room most times; I am only on the computer because everyone else watching television.
After session 4 I have discovered that I am a perfectionist who expects too much from others, blames others for her problems and am self pitying. If that isn't depressing I don't know what is.
It almost like learning the truth about yourself is dangerous; definitely scary. Who would believe that we cause anxiety ourselves by the way to think and view the world? WOW!!!
I apologize for ranting about myself, but I was feeling the need to talk. Hope I didn't upset or offend you.
Signed: I need some encouragement too.

Hi formyboys,
Nausea (which is a major symptom for me) is a big problem in the morning but I've been noticing that it also seems to come back at night when the sun is going down. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not. Do you notice that yours is somewhat related to when it's dark? I notice that I'm very sensitive to light (or lack thereof). I'm beginning to think that maybe this is a bit of Seasonal Affective Disorder (not sure if there's a link between SAD and anxiety) ? In the darkest part of the year (December and January) my nausea was at its worse (I had it almost around the clock). I'm definitely dreading the fall. Maybe the solution is moving to a more tropical climate : ) Definitely easier said than done.
Out of curiosity, have you found anything that alleviates the nausea? I'm still searching...and I'm tired of suffering with this. When I was pregnant was one thing but nausea for just anxiety is so discouraging since there's no end in sight!
I can definitely sympathize with you. Feeling sick all the time sucks all the life and energy out of you...by the time I put my kids to bed I'm completely wiped out.

Thanks for your responses. We all need to encourage each other. The best thing I have found to offset feeling sick in the evenings is not eating. Weird. In the beginning, I lost a lot of weight due to this anxiety and the panic attacks however, now I tend to feel worse if I eat in the evening or overeat at any time. I know that when I was eating more protein that seemed to help. Last night I decided to change my workout routine and exercise at night instead of the morning. This helped a lot. So, its definately related to anxiety....I think I may try that for a while. Exercise has been such a miracle for me but, I typically do it in the morning. My worst time of the day is around 6. I tend to be more then ready to go to bed by 8. I need to start doing the relaxation tapes again at night. I have let a lot of the practices go by the wayside and then I wonder....I need to get back to my routine when I felt the best....Wishing you all a great weekend.
