When the rest of my family have gastro bugs they don't panic so maybe I need to figure out what is triggering that panic because one of the thinks that happens is &nbsp;that I feel desperate to see my mother in this state and actually calm down a lot if i see her, &nbsp;which frees me up to focus on the throwing up! A bit nuts when you consider I am in my mid 40 ' s! Time to get past this!&nbsp; Mon, 15 Jun 2015 02:58:26 GMT thidmed 2015-06-15T02:58:26Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/why-does-nausea-spin-me-into-panic-mode/m-p/169780#M16255 I woke up this morning feeling nauseous. I have strong resources for coping with anxiety and depression but when I am nauseous &nbsp;I spin into total panic mode and cannot access any of my coping systems. I just wondered if anyone has this problem or has any idea what is happening. It's like my brain disengages completely and runs away to hide! I feel hysterical which doesn't help when you are throwing up and when you have young children around !

I have had a few experiences where I have had problems breathing when actually vomiting and that has made me a bit wary! Or perhaps it is because you feel that nausea is something that you cannot control?</P> <P>I'm not sure mate, are you seeing a professional that you can ask?&nbsp;</P> <P>Jack</P> Mon, 15 Jun 2015 01:25:42 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/why-does-nausea-spin-me-into-panic-mode/m-p/169781#M16256 Jacko777 2015-06-15T01:25:42Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/why-does-nausea-spin-me-into-panic-mode/m-p/169782#M16257 <P>Hi thidmed, welcome to the forums.

Perhaps you did desire to have your mum with you in those moments as a child and those desires were met. Now your mum is not there and something is triggered, a separation, anxiety...</P> <P>Know that your mum is always with you wherever you are, look into your heart and she will be there with the help and answers you need.&nbsp;</P> <P>Have you tried any anti nausea tablets?</P> <P>Jack</P> Mon, 15 Jun 2015 03:38:52 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/why-does-nausea-spin-me-into-panic-mode/m-p/169784#M16259 Jacko777 2015-06-15T03:38:52Z
