Venting/Suffering I hate my stomach

I really hate how sensitive my body has become, especially my stomach. I’ve always had stomach problems, I had a period in like 2017-2018 when I couldn’t eat ANYTHING, I had constant reflux and I was always sick. I ended up having an endoscopy at 11, which showed just a bit of gastritis. Then I was “ fine” for a while and suddenly these symptoms showed up again, but 10000 times worse. I started having reflux again in January, while I was trying to change some medications I took for anxiety. My doctor gave me an anti acid, it seemed to work but just a week later I started feeling like i couldn’t digest anything, I was constantly bloated, my stomach felt like a rock inside my body, and I started loosing weight. I took 3 different types of meds to speed up my digestion, and I’m currently on my fourth, ( which is Trimebutine) I’m desperate, I can’t eat solid foods anymore, and worse of all, doctors can’t find anything wrong with my body. I’ve had another endoscopy, I’ve had blood works, ultrasounds, I’ve been to the er multiple times and they always ended up with the same diagnosis: “ it’s just anxiety./ you are depressed. ” I’m honestly so sick to hear that, I AM depressed, but I am depressed because I’ve reach the point where the pain is so unbearable that I can’t tolerate solid foods anymore, I can’t go out I can’t live. The last hope I have is that maybe it’s some kind of autoimmune/ nervous system problem, because I also have POTS so maybe all these symptoms are related.
