Whats wrong with me? anxiety or illness ?

Question

I have had nausea constantly for the past week, it started the day of my wedding saturday, I got married saturday, moved into my new house with my now husband that same night and started a new school Tuesday, Im 23 getting my bachelors. At first I thought i was just homesick and cried alot but now im starting to feel not so homesick but more nauseous and have stomachaches and i have that big lump on my throat like i want to cry. I love my husband and love living with him but I miss my parents and especially my little sister shes 7 and i practically raised her I've never been away from there longer than a week and its hard. Could my symptoms be cause of that? I cant eat and i dont want this to hurt my marriage. I made a doctors appt. for tomorrow but would like to hear from ppl who have had this happen to them

Answer 1

I would say that it is definitely anxiety.  Remember, general anxiety can manifest into other anxiety related conditions such as insomnia, panic attacks, hypochondriosis (health anxiety), depression etc.; You are probably suffering from anxiety as a result of all these new changes in your life, and following the anxiety came the secondary conditions.  Also, keep in mind that hypochondriosis can mimic symptoms of real illnesses such as swollen lymph nodes, nausea, weakness...and this of course can be very scary but is totally harmless.  For relief, you may want to try anti-depressants.

ok- look, i moved 800 miles away a few years ago and everyone sai dhow awful home sickness is.  i blew it off and said yeah i will be a little lonely and sad at first. yeah right- being homesick and depressed can physically make you sick! bad sick! i was in bed for almost a month crying with stomach aches and headaches and a feeling of dread.  i questioned eevrything in my life and all the decision i had made to get where i was.  after a little while though, i was ok.  i adjusted and love where i am now! it takes time and your right, you should talk to a doctor and possibly get some meds until you balance out.  theres nothing worng with that.  your body and mind are in shock right now.  and your husband should understand that and if he doesnt, try explaining it to him and even have him go with you to the dr.  i promise you everything will be fine and it will pass. i dont think you are sick with any disease or sickness, other than home sickness and change.  just take your time and breathe.  what you are going through si normal!

good luck and hang in there!

Answer 3

New marriage (all the preparations beforehand) new husband, new home, new school.  Yes, you are probably anxious.  These are big moves and most of them are very emotional events.  See your doctor, of course.  You are probably fine, but it doesn't hurt to check.  

In the meantime, know that you are very fortunate.  Many people never get to accomplish in a lifetime all that you just came into in one fell swoop.  Congratulations.
