vomiting

Recently, due to starting university and having to do presentations, and give answers in class, my sa has got a lot worse, and to the point where I want to vomit at times I am so terrified of being targeted to answer something or present. I go to the bathroom and vomit from anxiety! I have used the excuse of illness to run away from these situations at uni but i wont be able to do that again. i feel sick now just thinking of it. i want to get medical help, but even starting to explain, i dont think i could do it without crying in the doctors office. however i havnt been to my new doc yet, is it weird to send a letter to the doc i havnt met explaining before i go in to see them ?? and what do you think woudl be the most likely outcome?

You would most likely get the help you need. Writing a letter is perfectly acceptable, and if you think it's the only way to enable you to get there, you should most definitely do it.

A friend of mine is a nurse at a doctors office and she said that many people write letters to the doctor. It makes them feel calmer and it's easier. Just remember that doctors have heard and seen just about everything in the office. Just stay calm and write your letter. He or she won't think anything bad about it and everything will be fine.

Good luck with everything.
