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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
