I am so tired of throwing up. 18 years of this, and it will never go away. Some days, I'm fine. My probiotic does help, but then I will go two or three weeks straight where I throw up three or four times a day, and it is so exhausting. I just crawl into my bed and cry. I go through this alone. No one can help me. No one knows what to say to me. My therapist doesn't even know what to say. I don't even know what I expect someone to say. I just hate laying here alone and crying because I feel terrible, and I am going to continue to feel terrible for the rest of my life. I thought I accepted this years ago, but when I can't keep anything down for days, it really weighs on me. Gastroparesis has controlled my entire life, and I don't want it anymore. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I just want to feel normal. I don't want to feel like shit anymore. I'm depressed so much I barely do things I love, but when I finally feel like writing or playing a video game or reading a comic book, I throw up out of nowhere and it puts me right back in this bed. Crying again and alone with no hope for anything. I hate this. I just want to have a normal life. But no, I will never.

I am so so so sorry thag you have to deal with this. I'm only a year into having gastroparesis and I'm only 18. It's the worst thing to deal with because it dies fluctuate and it's never the same day to day. Please know that you're still amazing and can do great things even when it's hard. You're strong and wonderful, don't forget that Some days are so bad that you can't see past them, but remember the good days. They're there, sometimes they may be hard to find, but if you look you'll find them. As for wanting to do the stuff you love, it's hard and not being able to do it can send you down some of the worst dark paths you'll ever experience. If you ever need to talk, please feel free to message me. You can simply vent or we can have a good conversation <33 I hope things can stay good for just a little bit for you
