I've had health issues my whole life and i don't know how to handle it anymore with my depression
Posted , 2 users are following.
I'm fifteen and female, since I was about eighteen months old I've had a lot of stomach pain nearly everyday of my life. When i was younger it was normally just a lot of abdominal pain and some throwing up(they always assumed just because of the pain) but since i've been getting older i get pain sever pain every single day and throw up at the very least two times a week even if i'm not having pain at the time. It's only really gotten this bad in the past year but every year it gets worse. The pain is often is so bad I i can't move crying on the bathroom floor. At this point i carry gravol everywhere and i dont even go to in person school anymore(for many reasons but this was a big one). I've gone to the hospital for this many times becuase Gravol only helps a little bit but they turn me away every time and tell me to take Gravol and breath threw it. I'm so frustraed with doctors and i'm not sure if i cant handel being turned away anymore. I'm going to vancover next week to go to childrens hospital becuase doctors often say i need a pedatric doctor to do anything(i only just got a refural but its a 15month+ wait) I can't wait and deal with this for much longer. We are planning to just go there and do whatever we have to to try to get me help. But if they turn me away too i'm not sure if i'll be able to handel it, It affects my mental health so much and i'm currently in one of my deepest "swings" of depprestion (i have bipolar and i call my "episodes" "swings" ) im so stressed and if no one seems to have awnsers i dont know what to do.

hi alex, you are young and very brave person to be honest and write on here. you may not be able to instantly solve your stomach problems! this could be from birth, it could be something physical or something genetic. do your mum and dad suffer with this problem? you may have problem with the flap that shuts the stomach off or with the stomach having too much acid, which is what this sounds like. i don't know what this drug is you talk about but in England we have one called gaviscon, it stops something called gastritis, where too much comes from the stomach and can make you sick. the other problem is with a bacteria called hpylori, which is a true thing like a little bug that stays in your stomach and can make you sick. you could try asking about this, if it is this they can easily cure this by 2 antibiotics, the bug then does hurt you anymore so you then don't get sick. i wish you luck. can i ask 1 question do you have many food with acid in like soda? try not to have this and things with acid in! you should be ok, the hospital won't stop until they get an answer! 😎😻
