Psychosomatic?

I wonder if anybody else has had this happen. Along with my mood downswing, I've been having problems with nausea this time around. Like, every time I eat, I feel nauseous for about half an hour afterwards...plus this weekend, after having a major blowup with my friend/roomie Lisa, I pretty much spent the entire weekend dry-heaving and sipping ginger ale. I almost wound up in emergency, because I kept throwing up more liquid than I could drink...
Anyway, all that to say, has anybody else had problems like this? Other stuff like stomach flu, ibs and whatnot have been ruled out, and the doc thinks it's psychosomatic. What can I do to stop making myself sick?

Maybe it's not psychosomatic. I mean has he checked for everything? Parasites? Go to www.allnaturalcleanse.com read that.

Wow, when I was really bad I had constant nausea. Drove me up the wall. It could be psychosomatic in the sense that there isn't a physical cause. But I would get the dr to rule out everything else first. If it is stress, then it is caused by too much adrenaline in your body (fight or flight response going nowhere). Hope you feel better real soon. xx

I think it is stress...I left town for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. Away from all the nonsense here, I ate and had no problems at all with feeling sick...the minute I came back, there it was again.
O.o Guess I'll hafta get a stress ball, or some tranquilizers. Or a forty of rye.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
