Please help. I am 15 years old and I've been dealing with 24/7 constant nausea, acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion (I have functional dyspepsia) but I have idiopathic scoliosis too and syringomyelia.

it's been 400+ days as a 15 year old ( I have functional dyspepsia ) of being unable I sleep at night due to chronic indigestion and gastrointestinal hell, because when I lie down, my stomach hurts and because of the constant pain it feels so much pressure and because of how bloated it is whenever it comes in contact with my shirt or blanket or mattress it burns and hurts and feels like my entire torso area is splitting open. This happens even when I just sit, the constant heaviness and feeling that it has thirty rocks sitting in it is hell. lying on either sides of my body makes my stomach hurt so much, whatever position I'm in it hurts and when I'm on my side my hip bone hurts because of how much it's protruding from my thin body and then my stomach hurts more . And in general my other symptoms like regurgitation make it hard to sleep so my sleep schedule is hell. Help.

Is there any way not involving meds because none of them work to sleep because my stomach keeps me up all night. The only relief I've found is taking off my pants. It's so unfair why do I have to live like this and there's no one to help me , it's been over a year and this is the FIRST TIME I'VE POSTED ABOUT BEING UNABLE TO GET BASIC SLEEP BEVAUSE OF MY STOMACH FOR YES OVER A F!CKOING YEAR. My other post for information:

eats one single small sandwhich smaller than a phone for breakfast = 6+ hours of complete stomach, throat, and chest agony all day.. I can’t eat or drink anything without being in so much agony . 400+ days of this daily. I’m only 15 and my entire normal teenage years have been robbed . i cant stand this anymore, I don’t want to continue life

Please help. I’m 15 years old and my life has been ruined and this is a complete nightmare to live in. I don’t know what’s wrong with me for a full YEAR. and the doctors aren’t helping at all. I have functional dyspepsia, GERD/LPR, visceral hypersensitivity. (Unrelated: syringomyelia and scoliosis) But when I ask for help with my LPR symptoms the doctors don’t even know what LPR is. my symptoms:

-started after I had a panic attack/ I had antibiotics for an infection: My stomach is in shambles. Every single thing I eat and drink leaves me in intense pain, I find no relief. There isn’t a second where my chest isn’t tight and my stomach isn’t burning and hurting and feels like there are thousands of rocking sitting in it. My throat burns and hurts from reflux all day, my food comes back up regurgitated, I’m always bloated, my stomach ALWAYS is cramped and hurts, I’m being serious it’s ALL DAY. I feel constant nausea that never goes away. My tongue is so dry and it’s hard swallowing. Sitting also hurts because of my stomach, and yet:

-Walking and standing normally feels unbearable. I get dizzy, migraines, lightheaded and sick whenever I get up, I feel like I’m walking through slime and wet cement daily and I feel constant fatigue no matter how long I sleep especially after meals. I feel so weak in all my limbs and I have trouble focusing and my brain feels foggy 24/7.  my heart is always racing even when resting and lying down. My legs always get numb and hurt.

Please. I just need know I’m not insane and will one day get help. I don’t know if this is linked to nutrition or a neurological issue. I got a GES and endoscopy, no results. Yet I’m being given 0 treatment plans or help! I’m seeing a integrative medicine gastroenterologist, Do I request therapy or a dietician? do I need to be on meds? why am I the one having to figure out how to treat myself and not a damn doctor? I fear I could also have dysautonomia, sibo, iron deficiency, mcas or something..???

it’s not fair. I’ve dealt with crippling chronic fatigue, chronic stomach issues (Functional dyspepsia, gerd, LPR, visceral hypersensitivity) for over a year, today I was crying because when I tried to get up from my bed I fell down and started seeing black bc of how lightheaded I was, I ate all 3 meals today witj snacks and hydrated and i asked my mom for help bc of how dizzy I am and she started berating me, getting mad at me, saying it’s because I don’t eat enough protein that I’ve been chronically ill for over a year. Then she started saying she doesn’t want to take me to doctor appointments anymore and claimed that my 10+ different disorders are all because I don’t eat meat and said that I’m “stubborn” and started agreeing with the doctors I met who gaslit me and claimed that it was just anxiety. And is blaming me for my 1+ year chronic illness saying I’m not “taking the steps” to exercise and fix my diet; WHEN I CAN’T EVEN DRINK WATER WITHOUT GETTING SICK. I CAN’T HOLD DOWN FOOD SND SHE’S BLAMING ME? Please i need support I have no one in my life

hi! I’m 15 and homeschooled and some of my online classes are starting just next week, I’ve been having constant panic attacks and uncontrollable anxiety idk how I’m gonna manage it. I’m a wreck and I’m chronically ill (chronic fatigue, functional dyspepsia, gerd, LPR, possibly rumination syndrome) and my dad is physically abusive (not that it evenmmatters anymore) and the constant stress I’m having makes my chronic illness worse every single day. how do I manage my anxiety and DAILY 24/7 pain before my classes and school semester starts I genuinely feel doomed. I really need support, im supposed to see an integrative medicine gastro soon but I don’t know if they can help me, I’m in pain all day for over a year, I’m trying to do breathing exercises but I can’t breathe because my chest is locked up 24/7 idk what to do my mom doesn’t take me seriously and refuses therapy. I can’t even read a page of math without losing focus and getti ng a headache, I don’t know how I’ll manage my classes

I’m 15 years old and I was trying to post asking for help about my dad and mom abusing me religiously and emotionally, how they’re blocking me from getting therapy for daily panic attacks and insisting it’s me being a bad Christian, and how my mom is mocking me and doesn’t care about my anxiety and panic episodes, how she enables my abusive dad, when I tried to post it to a subreddit it got removed by filters.

then I instantly thought, “What if this God‘s divine intervention trying to stop me from talking about my parents abusing me, just as how my mom constantly says talking about dad hitting me or mom screaming at me is Anti Christian and against the Bible?” yes I deadass thought it and think these kinds of things all the time. these are the kind of things my mom says 24/7 about everything and insists to me so it’s how I think, but I don’t think this is normal to think. my mom has made me 100% reliant on her no matter how cruel and how much she hates me. I don’t trust myself, I feel like I’m not a victim, I feel like I’m at fault and I’m the problem, I don’t know if shes lying to me or not. idk how to break free and I dont have a sense of self because of the things she says. Def doesn’t help that I was raised in a cult. (my other post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Exvangelical/comments/1vdteyh/comment/p24426s/

I’m 15, and I have been suffering from anxiety for years and she just doesn’t care. It used to be her screaming bitch and fuck at me when I was 7 years old saying I’m the worst daughter bc I was crying and unable to fall asleep, now she makes fun of me, says she goes through worse panic attacks, and today I was having a full blown panic attack and hyperventilating and she watched me and called me difficult then left and later said she didn’t know it was a panic attack. then she wonders why I’m starting to hate her and want nothing to do with her? i dont understand why she’s so uncaring. she’s the only person i have in my life but she’s the same person who is the biggesds enabler in the world who says my physically and sexually abusive dad is “controlled by Satan” therefore it’s not abuse but Satan. the one who blocks me from getting therapy, because it’s “Anti Christian” and “new age”. Blames all my mental health on me being a bad Christian. my mom who has gaslit me into thinking that she is 100% correct and right now as I type I feel like I’m the problem. she makes sure I know that none of my feelings matter, that me getting groomed is my fault, tells me for years I’m religiously forbidden from telling a soul about my home life, that my dad calling me names over a shirt is my fault and says i sjould be grateful she defended me from his threats, eveyrhtjng is always my fault.

because of her and my dad im scared of my future. I don’t think there’s any point in continuing this life and I don’t know how I’m supposed to make it to college, I have panic atatcks every single night and it’s getting so unbearable but I still feel like it’s all my fault. I’ve been homeschooled forever and it’s been a year of Chronic Functional Dyspepsia and other disorders that are getting worse by the day. I’m tired of hearing people say I need to reach out to someone irl or call CPS which is completely out of my hands I CANNOT do to. how am I supposed to survive 10th grade? Why do I even live.

hi. I’m 15 and I genuinely just can’t do this anymore. I can’t stand liv!ng anymore. Every day is hell and I can’t even begin to explain how worse my anxiety has gotten on top of being chronically ill it’s endless. if it wasn’t bad being raised in an abusive cult where the anxiety started, every day is just hell. every night I have like episodes of anxiety or panic attacks and I can’t breathe and I feel like I’m gonna die andy heart races and nausea+dizziness and it keeps switching around like either I get anxiety attacks about my cat, my future, my deteroiating health, my groomer, my parents, or all of the above etc. now I’m getting anxiety attacks in the day And basicbhygiene is a struggle and how am I gonna do basic homeschool schoolwork for 10tj grade is a myth to be my life is falling apart and I genuinely just think d34th might be the easy way out for me.

it would be nice if I could get professional help except that since I was 7 my mom refuses therapy bc it’s “anti Christian” and “spiritually wrong “and says that I have anxiety bc I’m a bad Christian and I’m not searching after god or something so I give up on that lol and the standard “talk to a trusted adult or relative” which I have 0 of

Hi, I’m 15 and I’ve been chronically ill for a year and my parents are abusive and I’m homeschooled and every day is genuine hell but thinking about the future is even worse. when am I ever going to get better, I’m in pain every day bc of my functional dyspepsia, I’ve been having anxiety atatcks every single night and its now bleeding into the mornings where I hyperventilated so badly I nearly passed out and what am I supposed to do about my future. people online keep saying I can move out or move into college dorms in the future but what am I going to do. I’m not ready for college, idk how to do exams or study, im scared and i cant leave my cat my only friend behind, am I never going to get better? what if my cat dies in the future. i when can I be free from my parents please help I need advice I cry every day thinking about the future I can’t stand this

I’m hyperventilating sndnim getting please help me. i keep hyperventilating and crying and I can’t do this l

im 15 and mym mom is screaming and yelling at me saying im dumb and stupid for crying and I’m “difficult”

Hi I’m 15, homeschooled for years. I was raised in a religious cult yes a full blown fucking cult on top of all of it. and my life is hell and I feel like it’s all the fault of for no reason my parents homeschooling me and vilifying public school and robbing me of any chance at normal life then have the nerve to, after I’m crippled bc of chronic illness and chronic anxiety, complain about how hard it is to homeschool me as if they didn’t force me into this situation of no friends, no outside support, no life, being brainwashed and told this is the best for me. Why am I the one who has to decide my OWN CLASSES FOR 10TH GRADE by my mom who uses AI to find online classes for me and being told to use AI for schoolwork by my dad, why is everyone so fucking dumb idc, my 10th grade starts in a week and I sleep at 3 am every night and can barely brush my teeth bc I’m so tired, I have anxiety attacks every night, I rot on my phone all day, I think I’m the epitome of a wreck currently.

I want to turn back time. I just want to turn back time in a world where I was never homeschooled, my life wouldn’t be this terrible, I jsut want to turn back time and het my normal teenage years back but I can’t, my teenage years have been robbed by being sick every day and being stuck at home permanently with no one to reach out to, I can’t do this anymore. I just want the life I should’ve had back Im literally full blown hysterical sobbing as I type this it I seriously can’t handle this anymore if I at least weren’t chronically ill then maybe I’d be less upset and depressed about my life but nooo the world fucking DESPISES me. I get it, I’m terrible and stupid and deserve the worst

Why is everythijg tying in together how I even got groomed and s*xually exploited online when I started getting sick because I was so lonely and didn’t know basic socialization and my parents were out here telling me to H*NG MYSELF over being on my phone so I clung t the one person I had for support, and they saw that and used it to prey on me and it worked I didnt know until a year later I was being groomed, if I were never sick to the point of losing my period and almost d*img (how badly I wish it happened) then I wouldn’t have turned to the online world for comfort and help if my doctor actually did tests and helped me instead of saying it was all in my head maybe it wouldn’t have gotten this bad, but nope ofc! it’s to a point I think I’m gonna be sick until I hopefully eventually pass away which will be the sweet release I yearn for and the only thing I’ll miss in this world that hates me is my cat who deserves so much better. The hyperventilating is getting worse wtf is wrong with me idk how to stopb
