Hello, dear question asker!
I can feel your stress and tiredness through your words, and I know it's hard work!
You're absolutely right! Gastroesophageal reflux is related to anxiety. It's so hard when you generate negative emotions in life but have nowhere to vent them. It's like you're swallowing a particularly disgusting bowl of food!
And then you'll get nausea, vomiting, and gastroesophageal reflux.
To solve the problem of gastroesophageal reflux, you must first resolve your own negative emotions. Even if you can't make your life as sweet as sugar, at least make it not bitter, even if it's just like plain water. I know it can be tough, but you've got this!
The stomach is for eating, and it represents swallowing down bad feelings. I know it can be tough, but you're doing great!
Your shoulders represent bearing, bearing weight, bearing pressure.
Your poor shoulders are telling you that they're tired and overwhelmed. They're under too much stress! You need to give them a break.
The first thing you need to do to soothe your shoulders is to relax and take a load off!
You've been carrying the load for so long, my friend. It's time to start thinking about taking responsibility for yourself.
Let's start by putting down everything that can be put down, except for some very necessary things. I know it can be tough at first, but I'm here to help. It may feel like you can't let go of anything, but you can.
At this time, you can give yourself a little pep talk and force yourself to let go of some things. You'll be surprised at how little it really matters in the grand scheme of things!
When you're feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, remember that it'll all feel much more manageable when you're relaxed.
While you're relaxing your mind, why not treat yourself to a little physical relaxation too? A massage, a walk, or some extra exercise could really do you good!
I really hope you can relax soon!

I can totally relate to how physical and mental health are intertwined. It sounds like stress is taking a toll on your body, especially with your reflux and the tension in your shoulders and back. Have you considered incorporating relaxation techniques into your daily routine? Deep breathing exercises or gentle yoga might help you become more aware of your posture and ease the hunching.
Mindfulness practices have really helped me manage anxiety, which in turn has eased some of my physical symptoms. I also found that regular stretching and ergonomic adjustments at my workspace made a big difference. Maybe setting reminders to check your posture throughout the day could be beneficial for you too.
It's important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of what you're experiencing. Perhaps consulting a physiotherapist for targeted exercises to strengthen your back and shoulder muscles could be helpful. Also, talking to a therapist about managing anxiety might provide relief from the gastroesophageal reflux as well. Finding a balance between mind and body can lead to significant improvements.
