I feel like giving up....

Well where do I start... when I was 19 in December 2014 one day I woke up and I just couldn't stop throwing up and having this feeling right where my diaphragm is . Since then I have been sick for 3 years everyday and I never get a break . I constantly throw up like in one day will be over 20x and in the moment when I'm sick I am also constapated, I can't keep anything down which forces me to the hospital to be put on IV and medication. It's constant pain and I can't sleep at all, I'm always crying and screaming in pain and It gets so bad to where I actually can't think properly. My eyes have become extremely sensitive to the light and I get chest spasms in my back. It gets so bad I actually start thinking about hurting my self, one day it was so bad I poured boiling hot water on my stomach which was a bad idea, and I have to constantly take hot hot baths to help stop the pain. I developed generalized anxiety with panic attacks and an eating disorder. I use to way 230 pounds but after 1 month I was 127 . Anything that gets me excited good or bad will make me feel sick like this, also if I don't eat with in the same day . When I am not sick like right now I have stomach issues where every morning I have to take a bath with hot water to help me use the washroom, then after the pain sometimes goes away. This has ruined my life and caused a lot of problems to happen, every single doctor I go to tells me I am happy and healthy maybe it's just I your head. It really hurts me to hear that because it randomly happened one day and everything bad in my life that has happened I've accpected it. I feel like Im always and forever going to feel like this and it makes me not want my life anymore I'm always and constantly in pain. I feel deep down there is something actually wrong , I've had the camera down my throats but when I asked to get the camera the other way everyone says no they think they won't find anything. I don't feel like my self anymore and I am not happy at all. As of right now I am not ill but I am constantly fighting my constipation and my stomach pains . I've been eating properly and have gained weight but I am terrified it will come back. It comes like attacks and the longest I've went with out being that ill is 6 months but after that I got sick in April 2017 . Does anyone know what this could be ???? I feel like I'm the only person in the world who has it because my doctor wants me to go to a hospital go be studied :( Btw I got sick when I was 19 and now I'm 21 turning 22 .

Wow please don't give up. I am so sorry you have to go through this. Idk what can be causing you to go through this but there is a stomach condition called IBS that accompanies Anxiety. Big Hugs to You and don't give up... Every new beginning has a painful ending ❤

ProvingCandle, I definitely agree with your doctor in that you need to go into the hospital for a complete workup. (both physically and mentally) Sometimes deep emotional problems can cause chronic physical issues. Since the symptoms are severe enough to cause you daily concern, it does need to be addressed. Three years is way too long to have gone undiagnosed.

I wish you well and please follow your doctor's advice. Keep us update please. x

My suggestion to you is to go for a throughout check up first. I know anxiety causes digestive disorders and general health issues because are bodies are symptomatic to what we feed our minds with. If all your tests comeback normal, consider in focusing on yourself and making changes to improve your health and wellbeing. Keep us posted!❤️
