Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have had continuous nausea for the past six weeks now. The doctors can't seem to find a cause for it. They are now telling me "it's all in my head" most likely and that I am producing it. This disturbs me greatly as I of course do not want to create in my head the feeling of nausea, but I suffer from anxiety too, so maybe I am doing it, since they can't find anything wrong with me physically. I will say my stress levels have been sky high in the last few months which also may have brought this nausea problem on, I just don't know. I have lost a whopping fifteen pounds because I just can't eat. My appetite is just not there. I have taken ginger root tablets and aloe vera as I read they can help nausea. I am also on an anti nausea drug that helps somewhat. I just wish I could get to the bottom of this and feel normal again. I've never had this before in my life. I am 50 years old. I live alone, and have no friends and family. I would appreciate making some new friends here so please send me a friend request if you want to. I find talking it out helps. Thanks...John
Yes, sounds like maybe your stress levels are affecting your physical health. I suffer in the same way.Sooo, this makes you human and now you've got to try and relieve some of that stress (easier said than done, I know). You have absolutely no one to talk to? have you talked to a dr. about the stress?
when my stress level gets real bad, I sometimes have the same issue. A bland diet ordered by the Dr. helped me in 2001 when I couldn't hold anything down for a few months. That may help with the nausea.
The way we feel about ourselves can disrupt the way our bodies work.
When I was little, my "parents' told us kids that we did not deserve food. When I became depressed, This thought manifested itself
into a full blown E.D. I couldn't eat because I felt like I didn't deserve to eat.
Depression is a hateful thing........
It can affect our ability to sleep, to relax, to eat.................
Is there anything in your past where someone criticized your eating habits????? If so, this could be the root cause.
Much Healing And Joy To You :-)
Welcome to the DS community, many supportive and caring people here. When my anxiety level was high I experienced the same issue with nausea. I also went to doctors, they couldn't find anything wrong with me. My anxiety level is low now, the nausea went away. I hope you feel better soon.
