I'm a 27 year old female from the west coast, deeply troubled by my own personal pschological inflictions which has inspired a personal interest in psychology. I general have a fresh insight on most things and because I've done almost everything wrong once, I have a lot of personal experience with a lot of crap.

I would assume this would go under mental health, cause I am sure it is all in my head.
Everytime I get extremly upset, I get really nausous feeling. I am in the middle of a pretty bad pending breakup (only time will tell what will happen with that) but everytime something happens that would upset me, or I dwell on something that may have upset me in the past, I actualy do get sick. I dont go one day without throwing up, and recently, I feel nausous all the time, so I cant eat, therefore getting dry heave. What can I do to stop getting sick? (link)

Unfortunatly there is probably very little you can do to help yourself. It seems that you are ruminating on problems obsessively compulsively. Otherwise you probably would have stopped. I personal have put myself into the same predictament, and share your affliction right now. In the past I have been perscribed something called Trimethobenzamyte (great name!) and it doesn't change the acid content of your stomach, but it does make it so you don't feel your stomach anymore, which is more safe that over doing it with anti-acids. This means a general physician would be good to see first. The next step after you feel better would be to see a psychologist of some sort (or counselor as suggested before). They can help you make a personal plan on what to do when something upsets you that would be a more healthy expression other than obsessing over it. It has to be tailor made to you, which is why noone here is qualified to give you sound advice. The only other thing I can suggest is to try to express some of what you are feeling in a positive way. Journal it and see if maybe by writing things down, you can put things to rest. Or by rereading things that you wrote before, getting some closure. Keeping yourself busy (ie. school, job, shopping, excersing) will also give you time to take your mind off of things and give yourself positive feedback for accomplishing things. Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for depression.
