I vomit every single day. I wake up, I feel nauseous, it doesn't go away until I physically vomit. It only happens on working days. Never on weekends, never in holidays. I've been living with this for four years now.
It was triggered at my last horrible workplace. I was bullied. I was depressed, suicidal. Left the place as my health was more important. I got a new job, my dream job, I love it. But the vomiting continues. Every. Single. Morning.
I tried self-help at first. Tried out different foods / not eating in the evenings. Didn't help, my body always manages to get something up. I tried ginger biscuits. I tried positive thinking. I tried talking myself into how silly it was. I tried fooling my mind telling myself it was the weekend. Nothing worked.
Then I had a breakdown and I confined into a nurse at work. She was the first person bar DH to have been told about this. With her help I went to my GP. Tried four different sets of medication. Nothing worked, and yes I tried each of them for two months time to see if they had any effect.
I have been having counselling for almost six months now and nothing is working. Relaxation breathing is making me feel worse. Even though it was triggered at my last workplace it could go further back with my childhood. But nobody can work out why exactly, not even me, and the vomiting continues.
I absolutely can't control it. I wake up between 5 am and 5.30 am and the nausea is instantly there. I can't just shake it off, it only goes after I vomit and I can get on with my day.
Please tell me there is any help. I can't deal with this anymore. I can't continue my whole working life like this, being sick every morning. I love my job and I want to do well, but I feel so down about it all that I am sometimes close to packing it all in and handing in my resignation. But I know that would be running away and it won't solve the root of the problem. It would make things worse, especially financially. DH is suggesting hypnosis, not sure about it. Please, any help appreciated.
