Nausea with Anxiety
Every week day, or any of the days that I work, I get extremely nauseous and have anxiety attacks in the morning, and I’m most often puking in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon after I eat breakfast or lunch. I work in a call center, and I’ve noticed that I get really anxious about answering calls, because I never know what I’m going to deal with for each call. That unknown is so scary to me, and I have a very strong flight response. I’ll be starting to work remotely soon, so hopefully that will calm my anxiety down a bit. Any tips on how to manage strong anxiety and how I can get rid of this anxiety I have with work?
I can relate somewhat, nerves and other things can exacerbate my nausea and I race to play an anti nausea binaural beats video, which is healing sound waves, sometimes it helps, other times it doesn't.
For the anxiety in work calls, are there any training manuals that you can request so you are super prepared for any outcome?
That way you can take a deep breath and say I'm gonna rock this call and then you'll be hopefully less frazzled and able to cope better, over time.
There are protocols that we follow as well as I’ve taken notes too. I have been complimented on how well I am doing my job, so I’m not sure why I have such crippling anxiety over the calls.
@GalaxyDreamer28 Fair enough, it's a bit like volunteering, you just can't control what someone will say or react too, just got to go with the flow and hope for the best :)
@GalaxyDreamer28 i can relate this. I often feel like want to puke when i need to talk in front of everyone. There is a time a almost puked on the stage even though there is only 20 people watching. When I need to eat with many people that exceeding 4 people i cant eat my food cause i keep feeling i need to puke. I end up not eating at all. Even in an exam hall where is everyone go quiet i will get strong feeling of nauseous or need to go to bathroom. This problem making my life more difficult. I hope we can overcome this.
