I really hate this disorder

I am having a really rough time today. I woke up this morning around 4 am with stomach problems. I have been dealing with bloating type discomfort for a few days, but the anxiety about feeling ill starts the panic ball rolling. I am having problems going to the shop. I ask my family to come and 'babysit' me, but, of course, no one wants to do that.
I am seeing my doctor finally on the 15th, ao I hope I can get him to give me a script for zoloft, which seems to at least keep the anxiety and panic down to a managable level.

I dislike having to take the meds, even my blood pressure and diabetes stuff, but I guess this is something that I am just going to have to accept. Any relief is better than feeling so paralyzed by this!

I too, hate this disorder; hate the control that it keeps over our lives.

I have suffered with stomach issues for over a year now, often waking in the night as well. Meds help in some ways and not in others - quite frankly, I can't help but be anxious about the meds too!

May the 15th roll around a bit quicker, knowing the waiting is hard.

Crohn's and Colitis are pretty serious suggestions when we know that upset stomach, nasuea and vomiting are all physical symptoms of GAD. I am not sure why anyone, without significantly more information than what is provided above and medical credentials, would post such a comment; especially when it is clear that those of us posting to this group have enough anxiety of our own. I have been very open and honest with my doctor and have confidence in her ability to work with me; I encourage others to do the same.
