Question by Seeker: What are these adrenaline “jolts” I keep getting?
I have some anxiety issues, but its been pretty under control lately. Unfortunately, I started getting these jolts of adrenaline in my stomach/chest area. It has been going on for like 3 days now, and it’s really irritating. It has left my stomach very acidic and a burning feeling around my sternum.

They do tend to happen when I am thinking about doing something artistic or basically anything that I want other people to “notice” about me. I have this issue I’m trying to work on where I want people to accept me and such – it’s obnoxious and I really don’t care, but subconsciously there is something that makes me care.

Anyone have any ideas? I feel like I’m getting a freakin’ stomach ulcer here!

First: go to a hospital. It could be a serious health issue, like acid reflux.

If that’s not an option for you, lessen any intake of caffeine. Try to eat non acidic and non spicy foods. Mellow out your diet, if you haven’t done so already. However, if you have already taken these steps and the problem is still going on- you have to go to a doctor. Period. No exceptions.

Then stop giving a crap about what anyone thinks about you. It’s not healthy. I’m not saying to ignore people, or your appearance, but if someone won’t like you they won’t like you. You can’t do anything about that. Apparently on some level you already understand this; it may take time but this is something you’ll have to work on.
