Hi guys,
I have had this problem since i was young, where i feel sick with nervousness in certain situations. For example, social events, or meeting girls, make me feel nauseaus to a point where i actually throw up, and completely lose my appetite. Sometimes when i know im going to an event in a while, i feel nauseus for days or weeks, for example a date or party. However i dont blush, and im usually a confident guy.
I've just come back to university after 3 months at home where i wasnt as social as at uni, and its come back. When i first went to uni i had this nausea but it gradually faded when, i think, i got used to the situation and being around lots of other people. But ive hardly eaten today and i've been feeling ill, ive been back for 3 days. I always thought it was general nervousness, and it could be, but it is sometimes very intense.
For example this morning i woke up and felt sick at the thought of going out and about today and maybe going out this evening and was physically sick but because i hadnt eaten anything, nothing came up.
I'm not sure if this is social anxiety disorder as i dont get some of the symptoms, but sometimes i do feel like im having a 'panic attack' where i feel sick, and just generally really scared of something (that i dont even know what sometimes!). It takes me a while to calm down and its generally easier when on my own in a bathroom for example.
I'm getting really sick of it at the moment, as i thought id got rid of it after being at university for a year. I'm hoping it will simply fade again with time, but i dont know if this is social anxiety or just generally nervousness?
I also sometimes feel a bit panicky at restaurants and find it hard to eat, whereas at home i can eat quite a lot. I'm getting sick of this now and i think its time I got some help with it. I think being back at uni will help me, being around friends etc. I need to try and be as social as possible i think and maybe i'll get used to it. But im worried if i go home again itll come back.
Thanks for any help.
