I have been feeling sick for about three months and it has been getting worse and worse everyday to the point I cry when I have to go to work. I feel sick constantly and have been having panic attacks about it. I never am actually sick as I know it is all in my head, but it gets worse at night time when everyone has gone to sleep and I can’t so have to sit up until I fall asleep on my own. I find that all I think about it getting ill other people being ill or being sick and that I might catch it! I get scared to eat I have cut out loads of food in fear it will make me ill Aswell as only eating before a certain time so I know   I have four hours before bed for my food to settle. At night I will just be thinking about it constantly and have a lump in my throat, as well as shaking and thinking I’m going to be sick, I know it is all in my head and that I actually am going to be fine but I just can’t seem to help it.

please can someone help me with this? I have a doctors appointment soon but can’t do this every night just waiting to fall asleep.  Every noise my stomach makes I get so scared it is going to cause me to be sick. I also have to get my boyfriend to try all my food for me as well incase it isn’t cooked. I now associate places with being ill and hate going there just incase.
