Why do i keep throwing up coughing up blood cannot sleep etc etc doctor said its just your depression is this correct?

No, that's not correct. Depression does not cause throwing up and coughing up blood, and it typically doesn't prevent you from sleeping either; depressed people usually sleep more, rather than less (since sleep is a form of temporary escape from the waking world). I find it hard to believe that any doctor would diagnose the symptoms you describe as the result of depression. See a different doctor.

∙ 14y agoI have never heard of coughing up blood as a symptom of depression, whereas insomnia is commonplace in mental health disorders. When you are coughing up blood, is it because you are coughing so much that you are perhaps causing a small tear in your throat membranes?
If this continues to concern you, I would certainly go back to the doctor and ask about the coughing up of blood. Ask for an explanation of why, rather than it is "just your depression". There may be a simple reason, but you need to know what that is for peace of mind.
If you find you cannot sleep, just get up and make yourself a hot drink (non-caffeine), read a little or watch the TV, and then, after about an hour, try to go back to bed and sleep again. You may find you will sleep on for a bit longer. It is worse to lie in bed and find you cannot sleep at all.
Good luck with your next trip to the doctor. Don't hesitate to ask questions and get answers, with a firm but calm resolve.

Is depression is a problem that can be solved by the willpower to pull yourself out of it?
The problem of Depression cannot be solved by trying to pull out by will power the same way problem of tuberculosis and diabetes cannot be solved by will power. Depression is a disorder (I call it as Phoenix disorder because the word 'depression' is confused with 'disappointment') that arises due to faulty neurotransmission in the brain and the correct treatment is not use of will power, but taking proper medicines prescribed by doctor.
Can a cat unlodge something it's choking on with its forepaws?
Cats typically use their posture and coughing to dislodge something they are choking on, not their paws. It's really just like humans, except humans often get up while coughing, and cats hunker down. For both, the muscles of respiration and coughing are used first. And, the Heimlich Maneuver can be used on humans, cats, or dogs if unable to dislodge the object via coughing OR if the person or animal cannot get air. NOTE: Unlodge is not a word. The correct word is dislodge.
