Hi Im 16 years old and have had this issue for about 2 years now on and off but now it is constantly and has gone too far. I begin to have a nervous stomach and get very tired, i lose my appetite, and thinking about eating brings so much anxiety. Usually having a plate in front of me makes me gag without any induced method of eating disorder. My nervous stomach causes me to be nervous about eating and I literally have thrown up at times because the nausea got so bad. There is no way I am pregnant! I have noticed it happens when a certain situation made me uneasy. I don't understand I am a relatively lively girl, I am outgoing, and usually have no prolem meeting new friends boys or girls; so i don't think I am socially awkward or scared of people just the eating environment for some reason, I hate it i used to be a great eater, and Im skinny to begin with so i can't afford an eating issue. Yet the idea of being asked out to dinner has become one my worst nightmares since I fear I'l just have the symptoms return and leave after the event is over. Please if anyone has ideas on what this could be or how to help I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks

Your condition is called phagophobia, or fear of eating. The internet is abound with information concerning this disorder. From what I have read, hypnotherapy and neurolinquistic programming are means to treat this disorder. Since I am no expert on this, you will have to research this subject further yourself.
