Stressed out, getting stuck and vomiting!

I'm very stressed out right now in my life, with just getting into a car accident (I'm ok), depression, relationship issues and moving in with my bro and his family to get my life together.

 

On and off, I have anxiety and my band gets tight and I can't hold anything down, tried even ice cream and got stuck and had to stick my finger down my throat to vomit as usual to get the pain out of my chest. I'm losing weight like crazy but not the right way. I was able to eat without getting stuck a few times, when I wasn't stressed. Advice?

Maybe you should talk to your doctor. When you get stressed your immune system also goes down and with not being able to eat you could get sick. Good luck and take care.

Oh my goodness Poma, have you gone to see your doctor? I am so sorry to hear all that your going through, and trust me I have been there, except I have 2 kids to add to that kind of mix. I don't know if you had to see a psycologist before you went to have your surgury, but I think it would be best if you go and talk to someone!!! Stress can really be a hurtful thing to you in many different ways. You look to be very young, and you need to start doing something to release that stress in a good way, maybe write out what your stressed about and then just let it go!!! Life is what it is, and unless it's something you can change then you just have to say ok, well it is what it is, and its not going hurt me!!! I think your first step is to be thankful, you have a good brother that will let you come live with him, and then just realize that the rest will get better, just give it time!!! Well Good luck, and if you ever just need to talk, you can send me a message!!!

I'll be praying for you - The world might fail us but God never will. My suggestion is to surround yourself with positive christian people and pray. I too went through alot and the only way out was God. Also please see your doctor maybe the need to take out some of the fill so you can eat. You need to eat. Good luck - I have not had the band yet - I have a month left to go.

Hopefully you can find someone at your doctor's office or their referred therapist to speak with. That is what they are there for -- you shouldn't have to go this alone.

And I agree with previous posts -- call the doctor and see if they can/will do an unfill. Not eating by itself causes depression which makes the situation worse.

God's peace!
