Who knew that anxiety causes upset stomachs?

I certainly didn't!!

So my stomach bug that I had a couple of weeks ago wasn't actually a stomach bug. Nope, it was anxiety. So for over a week, the debilitating nausea and stomach cramps were the result of me being anxious. And I didn't really think I was THAT anxious. I mean, not working is definitely stressful and anxiety-inducing, but I didn't think that it was so bad that I was going to be laid up for 2 days straight, and unable to eat for days. Ugh. And what makes it worse is that there's no solution to the problem. Not really. Taking Zantac helps with the symptoms, but it doesn't solve the problem. And I'm not sure (aside from finding a job!) what will solve the problem. This is frustrating. Because anyone who knows me knows how I feel about food, and anything that impedes my ability to eat is a very, very, very bad thing.
