Can't eat or drink, thrownig up, losing weight, no appetite, help!

Posted , 2 users are following.

So about 2 years ago, i suddenly couldn't eat or drink anything. It came out of the blue, no warning. I woke up one day after not sleeping almost at all and threw up. I tried to eat but had no appetite and felt very nauseous. This lasted a long long time, I went to a psychologist for 3 months which was no help and then a psychiatrist for about 8 months now. With time, after about a year and a lot of diazepam and anxiety medication I eventually overcame the disorder almost completely. The last few months were the happiest I have ever been. But the happiness was short lived. Two days ago I woke up, threw up and felt the worst loss of appetite I had ever experienced, every time I take a bite of food I have to lay down and meditate to keep it in. It takes me hours to eat a small meal. I am still on the same medication and am very worried about this. Why did it come back? What do I do? I'm dehydrated and hungry but can't eat or drink. Also it's worth noting the feeling of strong nausea never fully went away even when I was feeling OK, every time I had to leave my home to go somewhere I felt really nauseous but it was manageable.

    Hi Jason, just a question, have you had any tests done, on your stomach, especially for H-Pylori ?. reason I am asking is, the same thing happened to me...I kept losing weight, no appitite, had nausea,a lot, and my anxiety was super high...this went on for over a year, until I took it upon myself to get a stool test done...and sure enough it came back positive...treatment was two antibiotics, along with a stomach tablet...for 10 days...now it could be,severe Anxiety, but it is worth looking into..no harm in ruling other things out Although I still have Anxiety, I am eating, and putting on weight now...it takes a while to get back to normal...but a good probiotic helps...also Motilium is great for the nausea...hope your feeling better soon...
