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 =)

Very familiar feeling. It deposits in subconsiousness until nausea begins. Does your gf constantly nag you? Does your gf cook things that you don't like sometimes? There must be something about her that drives you nuts but you can't let go
I think I figured out why I'd get sick around my boyfriend. My boyfriend died a few months back and I associated it with intuition, however it's been happening with everyone I start to get close to. I realized tonight when I was talking to my friend that I'd get sick around her. Then I realized that I have an over active fear response due to my amgydala. Or you can say just I'm becoming in a constant state of fear whenever I get close to some one. This fear of rejection, but this fear of being so close to someone it makes me sick. I didn't tell her she made me sick, only until I figured out why bc it terrified me that she'd get to know the real me and leave. And this explains why I got sick around my ex most likely and others. It was too close for comfort and it scared me. Now when I get naseaus I realize it's a fear response. I felt better understanding why and felt less sick when I explained it to her.
do you still have to stop and think about other things? do you STILL get that sick feeling? because i have got it too
Maybe it's a bad energy channeling through one of you and it's making you ill. If there isn't any valid reasons why she or he can be making you ill then treat it like a cold or bad flu and spend some time apart until you feel better. Now if there are valid reasons like: he called you stupid yesterday and it hurt your feelings and you didn't say anything and you harbored those feelings then that would make anyone ill. Or you asked him to chip in 10 dollars for dinner for the two of you and he said, no and you ended up paying for the whole dinner then that could make you sick also. So think back of what could have made you ill.
Guys you're all just love sick! It's a very normal thing when you are head over heels with someone, google search it. ;)
I have issues with my boyfriend. Hrs a diabetic. He smells like maple sugar, which he doesn't see as a issue. We live in a 393 sq foot studio. He knows I have smell issues. Allergies to food and certain smells. Like eggs, peanut butter ,garlic. Yet he eats these things and the its on his breathe. Im positive ge does these things out of spite. I have to wear a face Mask in my own home. Thus really bothers me.
Wow that was just something that lifted my mood and understanding of it all. Thanks for this advice. I feel sometimes that having the thought of wanting to talk to her about the situation but doing so scares me and makes me feel 2 times worse than i was. I know its a faze and this is my second time going through it, Btw I'm in a almost 4 years relationship and I'm 21. Confidence is all I need and head up. Thanks.
I feel the same way, its been about two and a half months. It started when I hung out with some new people. After that it happened when I would go out to eat, then it would kick in before I even left my house, and now I feel sick when I wake up and sometimes through the whole day. I have never had a relationship before but now I am too nervous to get close to anyone because I fear what might happen if I can´t control myself and I don´t want to embarass myself.
Hi! I searched after this on Google and found your post. You and I have the exact IDENTICAL problem. I feel sick when I'm with her, I have no apetite (dinners with her family are the worst). We've been together for three months and I love her above everything else. It wasn't like this in The begining, so it's not that I'm nervous or anthing. I think in my case I let the thoughts take control over me "Don't feel sick, Don't feel sick, Don't feel sick" - which always ends up with me feeling ill and sick AF. My girl has noticed that I'm not feeling well (Been like this for some weeks now) But it is not until recently I've realized that it's in my head and not physicall. think I'll look it up soon if I can't erase these thoughts by my self. Take care mate and good luck
this is EXTREMELY simple...you aren't "gay" as this word means to be happy. Its your radar going off that something is not right with this person. Trust your instincts/gut feeling. Most of us want to "reason" things away, but EVERY human soul has a radar that tells them when someone is not good for their life. Regardless to how it may have seemed that she was "there" for you...it's time to be honest with yourself and test the motives. If nothing else...go to your mom or another older lady and pose the question to them while you're experiencing these emotions.
Not always. Typically when I see patients that share these feelings, the outcome is usually that of mistrust or attempting to reason why this person is still in their life. Each case is different and ONLY the person that is having the experience knows the truth.
Yes I feel the same way when I'm around my boyfriend I feel like I'm doing something wrong plzz help me.
I feel like I'm not alone reading all your experiences. I recently met this guy, Im 20 and I dont feel hungry at all! I lose my appetite and when i eat in the morning for some reason I throw it up. What I dont understand is that at night I completly feel the opposite. I think about him and I can eat. Im perfectly fine, its just in the mornings that cant tolerate it. But what I have also learned was that, I tend to have anxiety and feel nauseas when I come across change in life. Like transitioning from Middle school to High School. When I transitioned from high school to college I felt a lil nauseas But it was not that bad. I dont feel nauseas around guys, its once I start to take them seriously and leading to a relationship. On previous post it said to train the mind, but how? :'( I hate this
Hi all in my opinion the reason you get this sick feeling / anxiety is something is trying to tell you it isn't right. I've experienced this a few times. It's sad because you want to be with that person & you love/respect that person however it just doesn't feel right?
Im a born-again Christian and I have a theory. I know this is a bit late and I don't know if you have shoved your problem yet, but if you get sick or have anxiety everytime you see these people, this may be God's way of telling you that they are wrong for you. From my experience, when I date someone, if I feel in my gut that something is wrong, I usually feel a number of symptoms. In the past I've have anxiety, nervousness, forgetfulness, headaches, nauseousnesss, etc. You have done the right thing in taking some time off from dating. This way you will get to know God and yourself and this will help ease your mind and bring you peace. You may experience this once you find the right person. I hope this helps. God bless!
