I vomit when i cough

[Against_the_current]

I got a really bad cough and cold and when i start to cough to clean my throat, i throw up. It's terrifying. I don't want to be a burden to mom. Dad says it's mental. But when i take chill pills i just want to sleep, i nap and i wake up and all over again. I can't drug myself all day and night. Also I feel terrible for mom being overworked with me. And my leg made it really hard in the bathroom. I felt how i can't step without my brace. And my friend is always pressing me on how long im taking to recover and he wants to see me and being home is not good for me. I don't want to be sick and home neither. What can i do? Guilt trip. I need support. Wondering what platform to use that's cheap and i have 24/7 access to a therapist.

I got this I took homeopathic medicine. You could gargle with salt water or take cough medicine

Thank you. I tried to take meds but they just irritate my stomach, need to find the right ones

[Against_the_current in reply to Starrlight]

Get well soon too

[Starrlight in reply to Against_the_current]

Thank you sweet friend. How are you doing today?

[Against_the_current in reply to Starrlight]

I'm really struggling because my bf has some PTSD and is moody and is chased by an ex. Also im so fatigued i can't do anything, worried about my future. Wondering whether to give my last savings for therapy. I'm so tired and ill. Thank you for asking friend

[Starrlight in reply to Against_the_current]

I’m so sorry. Try to stay in the present moment. Try to do self care. You deserve it and everything good.

[Against_the_current in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you. I'm scared. Now, mom's thinking and seems worried. She usually stays at her phone, i was hoping she could rest

[Starrlight in reply to Against_the_current]

It’s ok. It will get better. Ride the waves go with the flow.

[Starrlight in reply to Against_the_current]

I know how hard it is to go on for long periods feeling scared. I hope you get some relief. Do you ever have days that are better, giving relief?

[SoporRose]

There are so many illnesses going around now! I hope you feel better soon.

I don’t think there are any services that prove around-the-clock therapy. Let us know if you find one!

The only resources I know are AI chatbots on Discord (PerspectBuddy and Kiki). Since they’re AI, they’re available almost 24/7 (unless there are glitches)

[SoporRose in reply to calmsailboat]

AI therapy: that's kind of eerie.

[calmsailboat in reply to SoporRose]

I personally don’t use those as therapy themselves- I have actual (human) therapists. Hehe. I use those as adjuncts- additional tools to reinforce my gains in therapy. I also get to help out these developers to improve the bots

[Against_the_current in reply to calmsailboat]

Have tried AI therapy but it drove me insane

[calmsailboat in reply to Against_the_current]

What about it drove you crazy?

[Against_the_current in reply to calmsailboat]

In my country there's no therapy at the hospital. It's like jail - you're just kept there so you're not dangerous to people outside

[Against_the_current in reply to SoporRose]

My main idea is all around but it's expensive and still wondering

[SoporRose in reply to Against_the_current]

Sorry, AtC: What do you mean? What's your main idea? What does it mean that it's all around?

[Against_the_current in reply to SoporRose]

I mean all around the clock therapy

[SoporRose in reply to Against_the_current]

I see. I think that only exists if you're in a psychiatric hospital and. maybe not even there. I see NBB gave you a link. What did you find there?

[Against_the_current in reply to SoporRose]

For now haven't found much but im mental rn

Hi, I have had a cough for nearly 5 weeks now. I also feel like vomiting when I have a fit of cough. Please don't worry too much about it, my son used to vomit all the time when he had cough. He's fine and healthy now. It will pass. Please don't feel the guilt, it is not your fault, you are unwell. Lots of people have the flu, cold and cough this season. I have missed all my Christmas parties and do's due to the flu so it is okay, people will understand. Be kind to yourself and get better soon.

[calmsailboat in reply to Alive2023]

Post-tussive vomiting! I had some episodes last Dec. I also have a strong gag reflex so often dealing with nausea. Going back to the concept of post-tussive vomiting, more often that not, I have post-tussive nausea. I cough and retch but nothing comes out (which I do find relieving)

Thank you so much, needed to hear that

[Kinlay]

Actually, that is not very unusual. It can be caused by severe coughing, asthma, postnasal drip, and acid reflux. I would NOT worry and hopefully when you get over this illness, it will pass. Hang in there!

[Against_the_current in reply to Kinlay]

Thank you

I found a list of sites that offer online therapy. Some include free peer support.
