'Vomiting was becoming as routine as breathing. On most occasions, I would literally walk and be sick simultaneously. I remember attending a gig and puking just before getting on the train.' ✍️ Katie Mortimer writes for MetroOpinion
The journey to school began as normal – the plan was to be dropped off with a friend and walk the short distance to the gates.This was a rarity for me – I hadn’t thrown up since I was force-fed peas aged five.I was 15 and had been recently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – a condition affecting the functioning of your ovariesUnfortunately, as I started my final year of secondary school, my random spewing was about to become a trend.
Of course my teachers were aware, but I didn’t have a diagnosis to go on at the time so they didn’t know what to do about it.My initial trips to the doctors were followed with a series of tests – blood, allergen, food restriction and medication trials. No results showed anything alarming, but of course, my hypochondria assumed the worst – thinking I had some form of chronic illness.
By this point, vomiting was becoming as routine as breathing. On most occasions, I would literally walk and be sick simultaneously. The diagnosis really threw me. It made me reconsider my relationship with anxiety and whether I had any additional symptoms of it. I was even put on antidepressants, but they didn’t work for me either. Instead, I’ve found breathing exercises to be more beneficial.
