Hi,
I read your query and can understand your concern regarding your habit of inducing vomiting when you feel depressed or angry.
Although not very common, but self induction of vomiting is seen in many people to relieve stress, more so in females. It is advisable that you seek a psychiatric consultation as such behavior can lead to medical complications. More so, you might need treatment for underlying depression.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
