i can't stop thinking about my blood work tomorrow is the day they finally read me my results. So the 2nd of this month i went to the doctor I've had this problem for 2 years now. I would eat a meal and ended up vomiting it all up so i went to the doctor the only thing they suggested was to drink probiotics( had blood test taken but never asked for them) and i did for a few months but i quit because after some time it was giving me another issue. So i don't know if all the vomiting stopped or it was less often but it came back a few months ago so that's when i decided to make a doctor appointment. They said it might be just acid reflux but they drew blood and had a breathtek test taken that was a first time thing. I had to get my results a week after visiting the doctor but i missed the call and got a phone appointment untill the 22nd. All i wish right now is that they actually find what's wrong with me. Im symptoms look familiar to ibs and after reading that anxiety and depression can lead to ibs i really hope the results do say that or something because at this point I'm really freaking out. I'm friends don't understand the way i feel they say the less you think about it then the less pain and worry is on your shoulders. Sure if i stop thinking about vomiting up my meals maybe that's the cure. Anyways my anxiety is kicking really hard this past weeks. I don't want to loose the control i have over it because if my anxiety does take over my depression for sure will visit me. I have this friend that keeps saying you can't be depressed cuz I'll punch you at this point i don't know if she is trying to help or she got tried of me. Wish it was as easy as saying don't be depressed and it won't happened. And even after i confessed to my parents i had depressed for i while it didn't make me feel relieved it actually feels as if i would have kept to myself was the better option.

That sounds pretty crazy. It looks you’re going through a lot. I understand the anxiety of waiting for results and stuff. It’s not cool.

I’m with you at that last part, confessing but not feeling better. It’s really painful. I pray that your parents and friend become aware of your pain and try to help and really listen to you. We can’t heal wounds if we don’t acknowledge that they exist, and you took a brave step in confessing. I find confessing really hard, so what you did is inspiring. I wish all the best for you.

As someone with IBS, Endometriosis, SIBO (reoccurring intestinal infection), + etc. which has onset and worsened due to my anxiety I can really understand your health scares and waiting on blood work. It is sooo absolutely nerve wracking and out of reality thinking something is wrong with your body. What I can say is taking a probiotic for me alleviates a lot of physical symptoms, which I thought would all be bs. Also had an issue with nausea everyday for 4 months straight which ended up definitely being onset by anxiety. I think CBD or something in that realm can really help you especially the nausea from my experience! A lot of the times too, symptoms seem scarier than they are and the most damage against any ailment is the anxiety and stress itself! Anyway I hope this helps in any way/shape/form!!🙏🏼🙏🏼
