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 =)

i know how u feel man i am dating a girl right now also i'm 17 and it actually makes me sick to the point where i throw up but when it gets down to kissing and anything sexual everything is normal and continues to be that way all the way until she goes home i hate it whenever it happens and it's even worst at resturants i cant even eat anything because i feel sick so i have to rush to the bathroom and either stand in a stall for a few minutes to clear my head or throw up it really sucks but i'm also glad to know i'm not alone in this either..Three cheers for people who get sick around their partners haha :-)
Im 17 and ive been seeing this girl for close to 6 months, and i started to have these sick feelings after a month. I recently have started taking pills to calm myself, however they only work to an extent. Im struggling please someone help
i have this too......... i've been with my girlfriend for about 3 months, and recently in the past few days i have started feeling sick around her, i have questioned whether i love her and the thought of a relationship feels me with dread, but i don't want to leave... nor do i want to stay. i'm really confused and am looking for help with a hypnotherapist. is this some kind of anxiety problem? its very strange and i dont know what to do. i want to be with her but i dont want to feel sick anymore and i dont want to question my love for her..... is there anything i can do to save this? xxx
THIS PROBLEM TO ALL THE PEOPLE ON HERE SOUNDS LIKE AN ANXIETY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TOO! SO MY ADVICE TO MOST PEOPLE IS TO GO AND SEE YOUR GENERAL PRACTIONER AND FURTHERING THAT GO SEE COUNCILLOR OR PSHYCOLOGIST,ALOT OF SINGERS,ACTORS ,COMEDIANS ETC: SUFFER THE SAME FEELING(OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT SCENARIO) WHEN GETTING UP TO PERFORM, I AM A MUSO AND HAVE HAD THIS TOO.SOMETIMTES IT CAN BE YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSES SO COGNITIVE THERAPY COULD BE A GREAT THING FOR ALOT OF YOU HOPE THIS HELPS. :-D
contradictory..... u better say - Ill with my gf whom i USED to love with all my heart.
so hang on what exactly should i do? if i feel ill around my gf? and i am to young to go to a doctor or anyone about this?
Hey-PLEASE READ MY FRIEND I think that you are being confused by this feeling you are getting in your stomach. You term it to be a sick kind of feeling. When you feel this way, try to focus more on why you are getting the feeling. I think it could be a combination of nervousness about your gf and your relationship in general, and it might also be a mild sense of euphoria that you are feeling in your stomach. Ask yourself, is it really a SICK feeling? Secondly, try talking to your gf on more of an emotional level. Sometimes we as people, when we want something so badly, almost get a kind of sick feeling from the fact that we don't have it. Maybe there is something that you don't have with her. Can you talk to her as if she is really your companion? Can you be honest with her? As for the eating, you can do some research on your own if you'd like, but I can tell you that a "lack of companionship" of the opposite sex can often lead to the contrary of that which you speak of in terms of eating. People compensate for that lack of companionship with food through emotional eating. I think that your feelings for this gf are so strong that you could care less about even the most basic human necessity-food. Maybe all you want is her- food and other things are just not important to you right now. People often turn to drugs and other things to cure pain or absence or social life etc. This does not exist for you because you have her, so perhaps it is just working in the opposite way for you. TO sum up- your best bet I think will be to talk to her. Don't tell her about this sick feeling your getting as it might upset or confuse her. Just talk to her more about things you would like to talk with her about. Tell her how you feel about her, open up a bit. I know this isn't manly stuff here but maybe its your answer. It might just make you feel better. Be happy you have someone peace

Are you always with each other? If you are... try to lessen being with other for a while... make each other busy on ther thing. So you will fel that you missing her. =)
No im not with her much because we live kinda far away, so next time i go on a date wiht her (wed or thursday) next week ill let yall know how it goes...
I'm so glad i've found others who suffer the same problem,i thought I was the only one.. Been with my girlfriend almost 6 months now and still felt physically sick around her althought it only happened when we were alone together,when we kiss or do anything intimate. Usually i'd have to leave the room for a few mintues to let the feeling dissapear and by that time the mood to do anything has gone. Don't know if thats the case with you guys or not. ********POSSIBLE CURE??******** Yesterday we sat down and talked about this in depth and tried to determine the cause of it. After listening to how her and how affected her negatively by making her feel upset/angry and not willing to show any affection towards me in fear of causing me to feel sick I realised how bad I was making her feel and making her upset being the very last thing I'd ever want to do made me realise that i MUST change. With the realisation of how bad i was making her feel and jeopradising the relationship with her i knew that it was my resposibilty to be strong and stop this feeling controlling our relationship. Basically what i am saying is you have the power to control this feeling,you and you only, all you need is the willpower and to know that if you dont do something about it then nothing will and the relationship will most likely fail. If you apply the willpower and that knowlege, if you want it bad enough you will change and take control again. I know I have as now i feel fine,a helluva lot more confident around her and dont feel 'depressed' anymore as now I don't have to worry about ruining and losing everything we have together. Now that i feel 'normal' again we can resume our relationship properly and I can let her know how much i love her without feeling sick and pulling off a massive mood killer. This worked for me and i have no gurrantee that will work for you but I truly do hope that it does for i know how angry,confused and upset this feeling has made you all. Keep the right, strong positive outlook on how you feel and the very best of luck to you all.
im 15 and start feelin sick when im near my girlfriend and im not sure what to do
me too I'm 17 and my i have fallen in love with my gf but i feel so sick and sometimes i wake up very early in the morning.
I know how you guys feel as well. I have this friend who I am really close too, we have loads in common and we used to do all sorts of things together, watching DVDs, going to gigs etc. But shortly after I split up with my gf I stated feeling sick around this friend, to the point I didn't see her anymore. We are still really close and I see her at work al the time, and I'm getting better there, but I still feel it if I go to her house, and it's starting to annoy me! I haven't seen my friend properly outside of work for nearly three years and enough is enough! I believe the problem here is that I think I have fallen in love with her, but I know I can't be with her that way, and I'm happy to just be friends, I guess I just need to have a little self control. But I can't just stop loving her because, in my eyes, she is my perfect woman, although as I say, I'm happy to just be friends. I believe tomorrow I am just going to go to her house to see her and if I'm sick, tuff!
