Q: Dead End With Women

Hi, I got a problem that I'd be happy if just a name could be associated with it if no advice can be given.

Basically when I'm with a girl I like, I usually get ill. Its usually at its worst when I'm with a girl I really like in public, especially if other people I know are there with us - I do end up vomiting (although I have enough warning to get to a toilet). I'm usually okay if it's just me and a girl but if I really like them and we get onto a certain topic (the obvious topic), I end up being sick also. I don't think its a sexual problem because I've been with girls before (recently) and had no ill affects thought obviously no one was around and I wasn't crazy about them. Really liking someone seems to make the problem a million times worse.

This is really having an awful affect on my social life so I'd really appreciate advice or a name for the condition so I can get some advice elsewhere. Is it worth bothering a doctor - can they help?

Hey,

It definitely seems clear to me that you are suffering from some kind of social anxiety, like an extreme attack of nerves in certain situations. And in this case I would say that you should definitely speak to your doctor to seek advice on where you can go for help. It could be that medication would help you to get this under control, or some kind of therapy.

What you are enduring is hampering your lifestyle and the more it is allowed to continue the more you will focus on it and the more it will grow. You need to take action to break the cycle now.

See your doctor, explain everything to them and, the most important point, TAKE THEIR ADVICE. Don't be too stubborn to accept their diagnosis if you don't like it, like I was, because us anxiety sufferers are often the biggest skeptics.

I really wish you all the best with this...
