Please help me, for i have tried everything i can think of without going to a doctor!!! For the past 3 months i have been phyically and mentally ill and im not sure why. The biggest symptom of all of this is that when im with my girlfriend whom i love with all my heart, i feel phyically sick to my stomach, and because of this i start thinking all kinds things like maybe i don't love her, or maybe im gay or something. These thought i more often then not I can't control and they will ravage me for hours. Sometimes i get these thoughts when i think about her or talk on the phone with her too, and i don't understand why. It's not just her though, sometimes i feel like this when im alone, or when im at work, and im not sure if its because i constantly think about her or bring her into my thoughts to try and show myself it just isn't her and its something else in my life causing it or what. Thing is though sometimes i feel sick around her, sometimes i don't, sometimes i feel more sick when im alone or at work and i feel fine around her. Lastly the only other symptom i seem to be having is regardless of wether im around her or not i haven't eaten well in 3 months either as food makes me nauseous when eating it sometimes and the thought of eating is an unpleasant one. I love my girlfriend with everything that i am and am willing to do anything (except give her up) to feel better...please if there is anyone out there who has been in my shoes or knows anything, your wisdom would be priceless. Thanks =)

heya mate dont worry so much, ive been to a counsillor in the past about this did help me understand what was going on weight loss due to stress even though we dont think it developing a relationship in love can be stressfull, also very similar to a panic attack caused by anxiety of the unknown in a relationship, as for suggestions to get over it is patience trust and breathing techniques makeyourself busy, i used an engine rebuild project with some mates made sure the lovey dovey side didnt take over (emotions) and had some hardcore bloke time, counteract it with something that interests you maybe as much as her, also found just pinching my arm focus on breathing worked when i had full on panic attacks during meeting parents and other such like (stressfull) events, chin up mate love is tough hope we all helped

Hmm..It sounds like Relationship OCD (ROCD). You DO love your partner. The anxiety and intrusive thoughts tell you otherwise...Listen to your heart and not your head sometimes. Maybe you could try to get therapy, or anti-anxiety medication (Only use meds as a last resort, since they can be dangerous). I have this too, and it sucks. But I go through the anxiety because I love my boyfriend. Hang in there! Best of luck.

Your just in love honestly its normal guys :)
I think I understand what you are feeling. At least its what I think. I've been with my girlfriend since my sophomore year of high school and I'm graduating next month. Sometimes I would feel sick thinking about her and I wondered why. She's puerto rican and I'm white so I am naturally very attracted to her. It was so bad that if I even saw another hispanic girl that resembled her that was with another guy or pregnant, I would get sick to my stomach because it reminded me of my girlfriend, Alexis. Last week, a very pretty and nice Mexican girl I knew died in a car crash and yes it was sad, but when I thought about it, all I could think was "what if it was Lexie?" I think there might be a bit of anxiety involved. However, there could be several reasons. You could feel like she is cheating on you or doesn't like/love you, you might feel like things won't work out, or you could just feel anxious when she's not around. Finally I realized that I was just worried about her leaving me or things not working out and I talked to her about it. Which is definitely what you should do. After talking to her, I realized that I was freaking out for no reason and if she really loves you, then things will be alright. Don't worry about it man and try to think about how lucky you are to be with her and not about loosing her or feeling bad about being with her.
Hey. I have had this problem, very similar. I am quite young and I have been going out with this girl for about 4 days now. I feel she is perfect for me. But then I started to think of her so much I started to be sick and had to come home from school. I really don't want to break up with her. I love her with all my heart. I am currently sick from this atm, and when I think about her it just seems to make me feel even more sick. I have had the feeling I need to puke, but it doesn't happen. I really want to find a cure. Something without medical treatment, so I can cure it by myself if it happens in the future. Please reply to this. I don't want to break up with her. Thanks for reading. This feeling makes me cry.
It is some sort of anxiety like you said. I used to get the same thing with my girlfriend but It hasn't happened for a few months. I fell in love with my girlfriend after only about 2 months of dating, we both knew we were perfect for each other. I started getting that sick feeling after about 2-3 months. My stomach would feel like it's upside down and I would start shaking really bad and feel like I was going to pass out. I would also get really hot and would need to go outside to cool down. It never happened when I was alone with her though, only when we were hanging out with other people. We've been dating for about 6 months now (I know that's a short amount of time but if you're in high school then it feels like forever) and the sick feeling stopped entirely around 4 months. I love her more than ever and I know that high school sweet hearts almost never happens and no one makes it through college but I really think that we have potential to last a long time. Hopefully the sick feeling will go away for you too. Mine went away after I started taking a more casual approach to our relationship when we were around friends, and I still take a more romantic approach when we are alone together.
Omg, I'm pretty much dealing with the same thing but with my boyfriend.. I mostly feel sick when we're apart, I don't know how to make it go away, but when I'm with him its perfectly fine. I think I'm just so afraid of something happening while we're apart.. I'm only 17 and he's 20, we've been together for 6 months and we are more than in love. Why is it that I feel sick without him?
Wow i thought i was the only one who has experienced this feeling. I did end up breaking up with her but now i miss her a lot. I had the same exact nauseating feeling so i can comply with that! Very interesting. I actually went to a GI specialist and everything checked out as normal. It is obviously a mental issue so i tried anxiety meds and counseling which didnt do much either.
Ah wow it is so good to see I'm not alone. I feel like no one can reallly understand this until they've gone through it. I can so relate to so many of you which is help in itself. It is honestly the worst thing ever... I was dating a guy and it was great at first but then I think that I could feel him kind of pulling away or maybe I just imagined it but I think that was when the anxiety kicked in. It was terrible everytime I was with him I ended up getting sick we would eat and I'd have to run to the bathroom, he even had to pull his car over once so I could puke. It was ridiculous and so hard because I just wanted it to be over I feel like I have tried everything. It got to the point where I honestly dreaded hanging out with him because I knew I would get sick. All you can think is whats wrong with me and I kept telling myself it wouldnt happen again but it would. We ended up breaking up, and he claims to have not cared about my getting sick but who knows. Now I have a new guy in my life and I thought I had grown out of the puking but apparently not. Everything was fine with us and I had felt a little sick when we hung out but nothing too bad, I was so excited to date him and be with him but literallly right after he asked me out I got sick luckily I was able to hide it from him. It was like something switched in my head and I felt so sick the rest of the night. I so dont want history to repeat its self which I think is making eveything worse. I really dont know what to do I think this all comes from the fact that Im terrified of being hurt and losing him. I dont know do you think that in time I will gain confidence in the relationship and it will end? I feel crazy I dont know what to do. The only trick I have found is literally not eating when you know your going to hang out with him so you have nothing to puke... fml. Just writing this and seeing that there are others like me who deal with this too is a huge help. And for those who say this is just love and normal you really dont understand what it's like to be in this situation...
what a joke
Hi, I was getting this too with my boyfriend, it would happen before we started going out and he would hug me. Anyway, now we are together and I told him about it. He felt really bad and was quite concerned about me, but when I told him I felt better! Now it's the other way round, when I am going to meet him I feel so sick, but as soon as I see him I feel okay. What you need to do is a) tell her/him about the problem.b) (this is easier said than done) tell yourself that you don't feel sick, and even if you do it is okay.c) if you do feel sick then excuse yourself and go to the toilet and splash your face with water and breathe deeply or something.It is really hard not to worry but you are feeling sick because of the worry if you get me, so don't worry.
I had the same feelings around this guy , he literally made me ill. Honestly I am very psychically perseptive and I think its because the relationship is not good and will not work. You get sick not because of love but the fact that thier spirit is bad and you just have not found out yet. It is a warning.
I got soooo sick around this guy and I found out he was terrible for me and I could not the signs.
Its iz called love you guyz....When you truely love someone like that you can get this feeling that makes you sick makes you want to throw up it kinda feel like your getting sea sick...I am a girl and ive been there done that.. It wont last forever ...
I'm a girl, 16 I've been with my boyfriend for 4 months and he tells me he feels sick to the stomach thinking about me and being with me, like I've really hurt him or something, but I've done nothing wrong and it's the worst feeling in the world knowing that I make him feel that way:( I wish he had never told me, but I'm afraid it'll get so bad that he won't want to be with me anymore! My mum tells me it's because he really loves me, its a scary thought to think you want to spend the rest of your life with someone and this makes him feel sick, and when he thinks about how he's scared I'm going to dump him cause he will be heartbroken and that makes him feel more sick! I'm hoping after a while it goes away because he really is the love of my life
