Anxiety and Gastritis: How to Cope?

Actually, the other night I was in my room feeling depressed as usual and then my stomach started hurting like a bi**h and so i started shaking really bad because my anxiety was through the roof

I’ve been noticing that I’ve been experiencing heart burn like almost non stop for a few weeks. Sometimes I experience it when I start feeling hungry and other times it’s just random. Someone mentioned to me it might be because of stress and anxiety and I didn’t even realize that could be a cause. Idk what to do besides like take heartburn meds when I start feeling it creeping up on me.

Anytime I have stomach or intestinal issues it causes my anxiety to rise. I studied psychology and I still don't understand why it happens. I do remember when I was taking 1 of my psychology classes for my bachelor's I do remember reading that any type of pain, upset or disruption to our normal day to day lives can trigger it, so maybe that's the answer in a way. Hope this helps some 🤗 🤗 🤗
