Real nausea vs anxiety. How can you tell?
I just fully quit lexapro (ssri) and my panic attacks have come back in full force this past month. Currently on a trip across the country and every trigger possible has decided to show up. I’m hiking in Yosemite so the elevation is making me worried about getting motion sickness. The family I’m traveling with talked about how they both got sick last week (Thursday). Then, on a hiking trail yesterday, one of them got sick on the trail which I think (and hope) was due to over exertion. It’s causing me to miss out on some of the joys of being here. I’m terrified of traveling back home. I’m so scared I’m going to get sick while being the farthest from home I’ve ever been. With these panic attacks, I’m having a hard time deciphering whether I’m actually nauseous or just anxious that I will become nauseous, therefore overthinking every bodily function. I guess I’m just looking for some support or advice with this post!
