So every morning for the past 4 years, I WAKE up with my stomach in knots.

It all started after one of my bad break ups (i say bad because it took me awhile to get over it). The person and I broke up like a week after Valentine's day (after some arguing). The story goes, we broke up that Friday and then by Monday he was talking to someone else. Seeing that really f----- me up because the next day I woke up and couldn't eat. I felt like my intestines were on fire.

After a couple of days not eating in the morning my body started vomotting as soon as I would wake up. It started to get embarrasing because I had a roomate at the time and she could hear me every morning. It became routine so much so that I ended up having to keep a bucket at the side of my bed.

My first thought was that I was pregnant because my period hadnt come either so I scraped up some money and took a test (no pregnancy). So once I realized that I wasn't pregnant I was clueless as to what was wrong with me.

That went on for about a month, ranging everyday me throwing up to just having my stomach in knots. The ex and I got back together and it stopped. I didn't even notice that it has stopped until we broke up again and it came back.

Ever since this first time, it has been a constant cycle of this happening to me. I haven't thrown up in awhile, but for the most part my stomach is just in knots until about midday. I literally can't eat until around 12 pm.

Should I seek some professional help? I've talked to friends, and family about it but they didn't know themselves. I'm out of people to talk to and I feel like no one has ever gone through it.

Sounds like an emotional/mental problem. Seek some help (talk to somebody professionally, a doctor or maybe a therapist) and see if you notice any change

I'd recommend seeing a doctor to see what the problem is.
I never heard of anything like that before tbh.

It doesn't have to be a mental thing although bodies are very much affected by mood and emotion. Maybe it's just your body's reaction to certain eating/sleeping habits. Or maybe you're just extra sensitive to losing people you love and your body kinda reacts by shutting things off completely.. who knows??

The best thing to do is to go see a doctor as the other's advised and you could perhaps find somebody you trust to talk about your feelings and issues around the breakup (a family member for example).

it could be a way your body has found a way to cope? if you thought about therapy, I will say, it is amazing and works wonders. they teach you healthy ways and new techniques on how to cope, where both your mind and body can be in tune. and plus side, it reveals a lot about yourself! the good thing is, you don't have to be in therapy forever. I'm sorry this is happening. I hope you get the help you need, stay positive

Find somebody new

Maybe you're stressed or/and have anxiety, try relaxing, doing sports, hanging out with new people... and I'd recomment taking some multivitamins first thing in the morning or maybe ZMA before sleeping, it helps with the sleep and puts you on a deep sleep too . Think about habits that you followed with your ex (having dinner early, doing sports... whatever) that you don't follow anymore. Just make a list of "possible" reasons and go one for one trying to discover the main one that causes the problem.

Not to be mean but I lol'd @ scraped up enough money for a pregnancy test. Them s----s are cheap!

Sounds like it's anxiety related perhaps?

Anyways I echo the advice given in this thread. Hope you succeed in finding the root cause of it.
