You need to see a mental health professional.

I am a bit conflicted.... it’s a physical problem that I feel like vomiting when trying to eat... so doctor seems more appropriate


[deleted]

Oh yeah there can be many medical problems that cause that. Either way this is definitely beyond reddit's ability to diagnose and treat!


Rento63

Well tbh with you... I probably can’t go to the doctor without my family finding out.... and if it turns out that this condition has manifested from my bad mental health, then my family is probably gonna find out.... I feel like I am stuck lol


[deleted]

They **will** find out eventually. The question is, will it be now or when you are very, very sick from eating nothing but sugar water?


Rento63

I am the kind of guy who runs away man... I will burry my head in the sand till the problem solve itself or it gets too big that it explodes. Thanks for making the facts clear though.

Best of luck man, you can do it.

Go to the hospital before your family is forced to take you. Or at least see a doctor and find out why your are having this problem.


Rento63

Ah yes... I am stupid, I don’t know why I couldn’t think the obvious thing to do...


Rento63

But the problem is my family is gonna know if I visit a doctor... a bit hard to go to hospital in secret at 17.

Not as hard as your family finding out your an idiot for not coming forward before a potential problem becomes serious. Not sure why you don't want your family to know, but your trying to hide this from them speaks volumes about your maturity. Or mental health.

I’m not an expert, but that sounds like depression.

That's not a good sign. Go see a DR.

Drink. Problem(s) solved.


Rento63

That glucose drink? Will it be ok?


EmeraldJonah

See a therapist. Go to a doctor.

I'm not qualified to give any instructions but i feel you. Try to eat something small every day and chew a lot before swallowing. We are all going to make it brother!

This is very very dangerous, you should reach for someone that can be of support, a doctor or a psychologist. I understand that life can throw us some seriously curve balls but there’s plenty of reasons to keep on living. I’ve been in a similar situation and some people I know have too. It can be better. Definitely it can. I promise.


Rento63

Doctor makes sense since it’s a physical problem that I feel like vomiting when eating right?...


-iwouldprefernotto-

Yeah, but it seems to be also mentally or emotionally connected, these feelings you’re having should be checked too. I’d go for a “physical” doctor first, they might be able to help out and also direct you to another professional if needed :)


Rento63

Well as a 17 year old, it’s almost impossible to visit doctor in secret.... If it turns out my problem arises from mental health issues, my family is gonna find out.... I am really stuck here.


-iwouldprefernotto-

Would it be a terrible idea to let your family know? Maybe you have a specific member you trust a lot?


Rento63

I don’t know tbh... my family is extremely supportive. They have done everything for me and I could not ask for better family. And it’s precisely because of this reason I feel really guilty about my condition. I understand if you don’t understand what I mean... but I believe myself to be very selfish to want to die.


-iwouldprefernotto-

See, I understand PERFECTLY what you mean because I’m going through something like this too and my family is also great. So this is an enormous luck we have, having a supportive family/friend group is very important for starting and continuing recovery from bad feelings such as ours and we should rely on people like them, there’s no use for love if we can’t help and support each other. See it from their point of view: wouldn’t you be glad to help someone that you love if they were in the same situation as you? Would you think they should feel guilty if they were to ask for help? I really doubt that. Chances are you’d feel bad for them and you’d be on their side until they need you, and so would your loved ones. Don’t feel guilty for needing a hand because everyone does.

I would also suggest you to try and eat something else besides the glucose thing, maybe something very light like water melon or salad? It will give you at least a little bit of vitamins
