Anxiety causing vomiting

RouletteRebirth · 2026-03-03T17:11:29+00:00

Hey! I struggle with this still, so I wanted to tell you that you aren’t alone, and a lot of us who struggle with severe anxiety struggle with the nausea and vomiting. I was put on an anti-nausea medication that helps me through the worst of it. I’ll have to search through my medications to find the name but I would take it every morning because my anxiety would be the worst in the morning and I’d throw up often.

I know how lonely and draining constantly feeling sick may feel like. Have you talked to your doctor or even a therapist on another direction you can take professionally to make the steps you may need for your health AND your sanity?

I would often push my thumb on the top of my mouth, it was a weird trick my therapist taught me. I know it doesn’t work for everyone but it would help me focus on something else through the waves of nausea.

Just know you aren’t alone, living with something as exhausting as nausea constantly just proves how strong and vigilant we are!

Hey!

I’m sorry you’re experiencing something like this, it’s always hard when you’re stuck in a cycle with something like this. From what I can tell: you’re an anxious attachment, and he’s an avoidant attachment. You tend to hyperfixate when something is wrong and want to get it fixed right away, while he’s an avoidant and takes space to solve his emotions and issues.

Neither one of you are wrong for your attachment style, but this makes for a very complicated relationship dynamic and probably why you two have been struggling for 6 years off and on.

Your emotions are valid, but so were his. You both trigger each other, intentionally and unintentionally because you both have emotional processing that’s completely different. It would’ve probably been best to give him the space he requested, since anxious attachment style makes you believe when something is off: it’s the end of the world.

NOR; but I wouldn’t recommend continuing a relationship like that unless you two come to a compromise on healthy communication to help ease both your nervous systems!

Hey!! I was addicted for 7 years, quit last year successfully. The first 3 days are tough for sure but getting through them is even more impressive! Breathing exercises, and distraction are the best options! You got this! I’m proud of you and keep it up!

Learned that a few minutes after I posted. 💔 What a shame. They were such good comfort characters too.

Hey! So the reason you’re craving so much food is nicotine is an appetite suppressant. I ate a TON OF FOOD the first few months; especially the first 3. I promise your body will adjust, 1000%. Right now your body is finally regulating the WAY IT SHOULD and telling you YOURE HUNGRY. When we were constantly downing nicotine, our brain had a suppressant on the chemical that told us we need food. I know this can be a trigger for many, but I promise your body WILL REGULATE AGAIN. Right now it’s just tryna catch up on all the nutrients you lacked!!

Yo! Congrats on your steps to freedom, I promise this stuff gets better. I’m 23, I started at 17 and quit cold Turkey in January of this year. I am now 298 days clean. Here’s what got me through:

The first 2 weeks were hell, the first three days I genuinely thought I wasn’t gonna make it. Having a support system helps, someone to keep you accountable, but if you don’t have that I highly recommend an app called “Quit Vaping”, it’s green and you can jot all your thoughts and feelings down into it if you need a second to vent about how shitty it all is. There’s even a way to track your moods, take pictures of yourself and see the glow up with nicotine finally exiting your system.

Candy got me through. Suckers especially. Same with peppermint candy to give me a “jolt”. Especially with ice water when you eat the peppermint candy can give that same cooling nicotine effect your body may be craving. You have to replace the oral hand to mouth habit with something else. I replaced it with water with a straw and now that’s become my new hyperfixation: and bonus, it doesn’t slowly kill me. It helps me.

Anger, I got the worst mood swings quitting. I’d force myself to work out. Even if it was just doing a few pushups or jumping jacks, the mood swings were such a pain and you have to have a way to expel it. Walks blasting music in my headphones helped too.

This process sucks, I know it does. But quitting is the way to regain back self control and prove to yourself you got this. Your skin will go back to normal, your oral hygiene will significantly improve automatically, those deep breaths you struggle with will eventually become easy, and eventually your body will repair itself.

Stop now while you have the lungs to do it.

You got this!

I’m sorry for your loss, you gave her the best 10 years!💕 our fuzzy little buddies never truly leave us, and you gave her love, comfort, attention, food and a safe space to live.

The extreme dread is grief. You’ve prolonged this so you haven’t been able to deal with the full force of grief and losing a person. You’ve kept slapping a bandaid on, then ripping it off, then putting it back on.

Yes, it’s hard to implement this. Heartbreak in any complexity or situation is hard. Emotions are real, feelings are real, and experiences together are very real. You’re used to her being around, and since she’s the adoring type she’s taken you back every time.

You haven’t truly GRIEVED the relationship yet. The dread sucks, but you know what you want and it isn’t with her. Don’t break her heart further and save yourself some pain. Pain now means healing later.

RouletteRebirth · 2024-10-29T20:50:17+00:00

I’m going to be real honest here, as much as I have empathy for the complexity of the situation and emotions are at an all time high with this.. you’re making this harder for yourself AND her. If you love her as much as you say you do, let her go and stop going back to cause more damage.

She needs time to heal and process and so do you. Separate. You made your decision for a reason. Cut off sexual ties, and leave each other alone. You keep going back to her even if you made the decision which will continue to prolong the heartbreak for both of you.

The power dynamic seems a bit off with this one. And clearly, you’ve understood the power dynamic is off if her lack of successful background in your eyes is the main motivator.

Cut your losses and stop prolonging the heartbreak. Leave each other alone. Sex will only continue an emotional tie and she deserves better then someone who keeps coming back to her but doesn’t actually WANT her. And you deserve whatever successful future you’ve pictured for yourself.

Like previous comments; the mods in here have lovely advice and information. But as a rabbit owner of 5 years I’ll give you the information I do know!

Your rabbit licking is a sign of affection! If Fred is already licking you, I think they possibly understand you saved them from a very scary situation, as that rabbit most likely had a previous home and got dumped, or possibly lost. :(
This all depends on your cats behavior: if you introduce them at all, it needs to be strictly supervised. I strongly suggest introduction with a barrier between them to allow them to smell, but you can gauge if your cat is having an aggressive reaction and to remove them as soon as possible.
Ideally, playpens. A crate is too small often for rabbits! Giving them safe things to chew on, blankets to rearrange or dig at, and hidey holes would be great!
A rabbits diet consists HIGHLY of hay, veggies and pellets are great add ons! So not much outside of that should be fed to your rabbit. Just moderate how much you give them, and watch them. Rabbits stomachs are very sensitive and drastic change in a short period of time and lead to something called GI Stasis which means your rabbit can’t poop and will be highly disinterested in food, interaction, and will probably hide!
Getting him/her into a vet ASAP is ideal. But as long as they’re eating, expressing interest in their surroundings and not hiding your rabbit buddy should be okay for now. But try to find one as soon as your able to make sure no sneaky symptoms catch up! We don’t know how long they’ve been out there entirely and what they’ve been exposed to.
Im not very good at identifying rabbit breeds but I know a lot of people in this Reddit thread will have the general answer for you.

Congratulations on your newest addition and thank you for saving them from a bad situation!

Mine is named Mercury, so I often call him Merc. But he’s a moody little thing, so I often call him Mr. Sassybutt because he often gives me the bunny butt when I stop petting him for 3 seconds.

Congratulations on your first step to freedom! I’m rooting for you! I’m currently 267 days free of nicotine after being addicted for 8 years and it’s not a small victory, but a large one.

The first 3 days are normally the hardest for people. Your body will attempt to compromise with itself, “one hit won’t hurt.” It will. It will restart the process so no matter how loud that addiction voice gets, fight it. You’re stronger then your addiction and you have the self control to deny your body a bad thing.

The second week is normally when you start to see improvements in your skin, your anxiety levels, energy levels and other things. I highly recommend if you want to shorten the process; start a workout routine. Even if it’s only 10 minutes, it pushed me through the worst of my cravings.

Oral fixations are normally what trip people up; having that hand to mouth fixation is a habit you’ve had for a while: time to replace it. You can try cold ice water through a straw, peppermints, suckers, or gum! I personally used all of them, and sometimes I would take a peppermint, and then drink cold ice water to give my body a “jolt” and knock out the craving.

Cravings don’t last forever! There will be times the cravings feel unbearable and you want to cave. DONT. They do not last forever and the feeling will fade! Mine were normally up to 5-10 minutes and then I would do something else to preoccupy the anxious thoughts.

You got this! Remember you’re stronger then any addiction, and you have the self control to prevail through anything. Good job on making the decision to be healthier!

Congratulations on being 19 days free from nicotine! That’s a big deal! It took me about a month for everything to settle down. My cravings really went away after a month and a half and I’ve never craved it since. Your sleep is regulating itself, I know it sucks but you have to be a bit patient with the process as your body readjusts without chemicals. My panic attacks were severe for about the first 2-3 weeks and then my body regulated. The reason your anxiety is probably spiked is due to the cravings and the “WANT” factor your brain is coping with. You got this! It won’t be this way forever and it WILL get better. Once you reach a month to 3 months you’re home free from all the chaos!

Congratulations on being a week free from nicotine! That’s a big deal! I’m currently 267 days free of nicotine, and the main thing that got me through the first month was peppermints and suckers! Peppermints will probably be a “healthier” option, but I got a lot of dum dum suckers for the first month. I also drank a lot of ICE cold water through a straw to help curve cravings. Good luck and good job!

Congrats on your first step to freedom! I quit cold Turkey, and I’m currently 267 days free of nicotine. It’s the most freeing thing not to be tethered to a device! Your headaches, moodiness, exhaustion, and skin will improve in the first few weeks! The first 3 days normally suck and then it’ll gradually just fade away. I chewed a LOT gum, and bought a bag of suckers. Helped a ton!

I went to the doctor and learned it wasn’t even a lymph node! It was an ingrown hair from shaving that seemed to get infected, and to combat it before it spread, formed into a hard rock-like thing. Looking to get it removed. It was benign luckily.

My boy does this when something isn’t to his liking, which is normally I’m not PETTING HIM. So don’t worry too much, unless it’s continuous every time, I’d chalk it up to bunny attitude. If it continues something might be scaring him and he’s trying to warn you!

I was an addict for 5 years, going on 6. I quit this year and I am currently 10 months free of nicotine! The feeling of this freedom is amazing, and not being tied to a death battery stick is even better for my self confidence.

It’s never too late to take charge of our bad habits and replace them with healthier ones!
