How to keep my spirits up when I'm really sick?

Typing with my left hand cause I have systems in my right. So sorry if i reply short. And i have been throwing up all night yesterday, today unable to eat, sleep, take my medication. Everything is terrible. I feel unreal. And mom's picking me up and im worried if i get anxious from her. I need to go home but im scared of mom. Doctors here kept on saying it's Anxiety but i know im physically ill. I have anxiety as well but one doesn't exclude the other. So much prejudice on mental health. This place is like before 1989. And grandma likes it and thanks everyone. Uncle is picking us tommorow morning and dropping me at my accommodation to take my stuff and mom's picking me up from there when she gets her sleep. Been texting a friend about all the parody but weirdly i feel foreign people more. I'm going insane from this illness

I'm so sorry that you're struggling. A lot of physical symptoms can be from anxiety but, that's not to say that you're not sick. People should hear you and take you seriously. I truly hope things turn around for you. We're always here. You'll be ok. 🫂

I'm so sad that you're feeling crappy. 😞 I know the feeling. Could distraction therapy maybe help you? TV, videos on YouTube? That's what I usually do. Ugh please take my hug 🫂

I watched tv but the series are so crappy that it actually made me feel worse because here and at mom's house i have just a few crappy channels. Usually tv is my first thing to reach out to when sick, idk why this time it felt so bad. But these are good ideas. I need a hug. Sending hugs 🤗

I’m so sorry you are having such a hard time. Have you tried reading as a distraction? I find it relaxing and I get lost in the story. Just a suggestion. I download the books into my phone so I can read anywhere. Take care of you. Hugs

Audiobooks might be easier right now than reading. There are a lot of free ones on YouTube.

What does it mean that you have "systems" in your hand? Even if anxiety is the cause or part of the cause of your illness, the doctors should try to help you with it. I'm sorry they're not listening to you.
