Q: Update On How I've Been!

Hello all, Lately i've been kind of up and down, I've been to my therapist 2 times now! Smile

It really helps and it feels like shes someone easy to talk to, Much like my mom. Except the other day, I was just so sick of feeling rotten i just tweaked out and started screaming and having a tantrum, I was so frustrated with my situation i think i just held the pressure in too long. But other than that i've been going to school, Not that i'm caught up yet, But going is a big step! I've had a few friends over which is also another big step in anxiety, Being social again. I just hope this all passes and in the future when i become successful i can look back and see how strong i was! I've kind of come to relize i'm not going to vomit! But i'm still being pretty skeptical, Because i know that you do not vomit for no reason, You have to be sick with Stomach flu or Have eaten bad food! (Correct me if i'm wrong about that those are the only ways possible for you to vomit Rolling Eyes

)
Thanks for reading!
~Alex

I just found this article on the reasons you would vomit, It calmed my mind a bit and made my stomach feel a bit better knowing i don't have these issues, Here is the article:

Reasons For Vomiting wrote:

Poison in the stomach
Poison or toxic material may get into the stomach from spoiled food, drinking poison or acid, drinking too much alcohol, allergic reaction, or through an illness.

Spoiled food
Spoiled food may have bacteria that produce harmful toxins. Usually throwing up will rid the body of such toxins. In some cases, toxins from the e coli bacteria get into the system so quickly that the vomiting reaction isn't sufficient to protect against death.

Drinking poison
Certainly drinking some poisonous material can cause serious damage or death. In some cases vomiting helps to rid the body of the poison. In the case of drinking an acid or some caustic liquid, it is better to provide a buffer the neutralize the material than to have the person vomit, which might cause even more damage.

Alcohol
When so much alcohol is consumed that the body cannot process it, the person may start to vomit. Otherwise the person may pass out and could even die from alcohol poisoning.

Allergic reaction
A person who is allergic to certain types of food may throw up, as a result of ingesting that food. One example is if a person is lactic intolerant and drinks some milk or eats some ice cream. That person may then vomit to rid the body of the undesirable material.

Disease
A person may become ill or contract a disease in various ways. Some diseases result in toxins within the stomach. In such a case, the person may throw up to help rid the body of those toxins.

Please do yourself a favor and see a doctor and find out the from a proffesional what is really wrong. I feel untill you really know and someone is able to give you a diffenative answer, you are going to be a wits end. It will be one of the best things you've ever done for yourself. You are torturing yourself looking on line and trying to figure out what is wrong. Those are only guidelines Alex. Go see someone who has a degree and put you mind at ease for once and for all instead of playing these guessing games.

I agree.

It sounds like you're doing well with the anxiety though. You like your therapist? It's important to have a good relationship with her. Smile

But but but..... I still have stomach aches, i'm seriously like OBSESSED about vomiting, Cause it hate it. I constantly think about it for some reason? And also now i'm going to an alternative school for 10 weeks because i've missed so much regular school, Now i have to go there to get caught up so i have good grades so i don't have to go to summer school and be in 8th grade again. And MsSky can you just clarify something, Is it really true that humans arn't supposed to vomit? And that you don't just vomit for no reason, Because i just got on this new acid reducer called Pepcid AC, And i was telling my mom "It's not doing anything" and she replied that if it didn't hlep then its in my head?

That is right Alex. You just don't vomit for no reason at all. Normally, it is from somthing you eat, nerves, flu or stomach disorder of some kind. Alex, this is just my opinion, but I think you are talking yourself into wanting to vomit. Now, if there is any pain or abdominal discomfort along with this feeling, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Meaning that there could be a real cause due to a stomach problem. Even acid reflux should not make you feel like you want to vomit all the time. I have had it for years and there is no neusea associated with it as far as I am know.
