Hey Vanessa. Sounds like you're going through quite a rough patch. I hate throwing up so much it's ridiculous. If your problem is anxiety, though, I want to suggest that you haven't 'missed a year' of your life. You're having a hard year that, in the end, will have taught you a ton about your inner strength and resilience. People who don't go through difficult times like the ones you're having right now don't develop the kind of compassion and empathy for others that, believe it or not, you will come out of this with. This time is not wasted. It's training for the rest of your life. Mental boot camp. Stick with us, and thanks for sharing yourself.

Thank you 🙏❤️it started off me being sick from my ear problem and that when my axiety started coming again and I guess I was really sad too I went to the hospital like every day because I don't want to be stuck having pressure irritating ear problems I want it to go away 😢I scared I'll be sick forever with bowel gas also ,in my stomach because it been 3months with that 🤦I think I feel better with my axiety/depression when my stomach and ear problems go away 🙏💁😞but your right I'm in training and I won't stop til I'm normal or get better with my axiety 🙏❤️

Just a note - it's probably the other way around. Your stomach and other symptoms will clear up when your anxiety lessens. Your anxiety will lessen by learning and using tools and even medication if necessary. Don't hesitate to get a good therapist if you can or a psychiatrist. The sooner you learn the coping tools the sooner they will help you and your physical symptoms will start to decrease until they eventually go away.

I agree with jaynla, everybody's mental issues manifest themselves physically in different ways, but I know for me on rough days I can't eat or sleep and when I have a full blown panic attack I throw up. I could never figure out why but when I traced it to my mental health problems everything started to make more sense. focus on your mental health. its hard but I believe in you and you're definitely not alone!
