No need to be embarrassed!
I get nauseous when I am depressed too. There is a slight state of nausea throughout it in addition to no appetite. And when I am anxious, my hands shake. However, this can also be a side effect of certain meds I have heard, I don't know what you're on. So it's tricky to sort out what is what.
But I completely understand. The depression, then the anxiety of OH NO, I am getting depressed again, which feeds the depression, and the cycle begins.
For me, when I am depressed, I forget that I was ever not depressed. Yet most of my life, I have not been depressed. Something about the episode itself tricks me into thinking it has always been with me. Depression is crafty that way.
Sounds like you have determined it to be more of anxiety though. But I just wanted to let you know what for me, depression causes slight nausea too.
Definitely talk to your pdoc, especially if you have been adjusting your meds. Plus there is always that chance that it could be something completely different, like you are getting the flu or something.
