Hi,

You are not having any serious problem. You are having anxiety and you feel that by doing vomiting you will feel good. You need to consult a doctor for this. You need regular treatment and counseling for this. Do not worry, take light diet, keep yourself busy, try some new things every time, you will be fine.

Wishing you good health.
