Hey everyone. I (26m) am diagnosed with Bipolar 1 exacerbated by severe general anxiety. Almost every day I wake up to debilitating and continuous anxiety which is connected to my GI tract. Therefore every morning I wake up and dry heave for anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour. When I explain this to my loved ones they simply do not understand and I can only talk with my therapist and psychiatrists once a month if I'm lucky. I guess this post is for some sort of validation that I need to not feel like i'm lying to everyone around me.
