Question Posted Saturday December 18 2004, 12:34 am
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?

Baughb answered Sunday December 19 2004, 10:06 pm: 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. [ Baughb's advice column | Ask Baughb A Question ]

You seem to have a lot going on. The first few times you try to get out what you need to get out it may hurt and make you feel sick, but as you go on it will get easier and it will probably get a lot easier for you to talk about and make you feel a lot better. Don't keep all those things bottled up in you. You need someone to talk to. Everyday. I'm not saying your insane, but a couselor would be good and give you great advice and would listen to you and help you a lot. Good Luck. [ lilangl1113's advice column | Ask lilangl1113 A Question ]

Talking to your mom about your problems makes you feel so much better, you wouldn't believe! You'll get better, it takes time. Hope you feel better. Hope I helped!

tweety answered Saturday December 18 2004, 2:28 pm: meditating or on a day that you have nothing to do. calmy sit in a dark room and just think about everything, but not the really upsetting things. and just release all the sadness and anger(it always works)! well good luck [ tweety's advice column | Ask tweety A Question ]
Shopaholic answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:57 am: You need to see a doctor about this. If you already have and it didnt work then you need to think happy thoughts. If it only happens when you are sad then you need to talk to your ex (the one you broke up with) maybe that has something to do with it. If you have dreams about your ex then you need to talk to your ex and figure out what is happening. If the sadness just come suddenly then you need to ask your self-why am I crying about this- and then drink some gingeral.
I'm here to help!

Berri answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:45 am: I know you probably don't want to hear this because you were probably looking for some actual advice, but I think you need to see a doctor. Because I think what's happening to you is some sort of illness/disorder, and there is probably a medicine or a cure for it that only a doctor could tell you about.

cutebrunette answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:14 am: I think you should stop thinking about being upset. Just take deep breathes when you do and think about the good things in life. And i also think you should talk to your doctor. You should`nt be sick everyday.
