Here's a method of making ourselves sick popular at my place - put a soap under your armpit for about 15-30 minutes. The alkilinity of the soap reacting with the acidity of the body (or whatever the cause is - i dont really care) should give you a fever or so.

If by sick you mean vomit, syrup of ipecac. Ask for it at the drugstore. You might also consider some high potency laxatives if you want to appear far more immobilized.
Syrup of ipecac (derived from the Ipecacuanha plant), is an emetic - a substance used to induce vomiting. It is used in cases of accidental poisoning, and is perhaps the most well known emetic.
The typical dosage for adults is one to two tablespoons (15-30ml) followed by two or three glasses of water. Vomiting typically happens within 15 to 20 minutes. If the patient has not vomited within 20 to 30 minutes, a second dose can be administered. Saving the vomitus is recommended for medical inspection.
The actions of ipecac are mainly those of its major alkaloids, emetine and cephaeline. They act locally by irritating the gastric mucosa and centrally by stimulating the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone to induce vomiting.
Though it has a long history of use, syrup of ipecac has come under recent scrutiny. One recent scientific review concluded that vomiting alone does not reliably remove poisons from the stomach. Additionally, ipecac’s potential side effects, such as lethargy, can be confused with the poison’s effects, complicating diagnosis.
Recently (2005) an expert panel concluded that indications for use of ipecac syrup were rare and patients should be treated by more effective and safer means. See Clinical Toxicology (Phila). 2005;43(1):13-5 for more information. The current first-line treatment for most ingested poisons is now activated charcoal, which operates much more quickly and effectively than ipecac treatments.
Ipecac has been used by anorexic and bulimic individuals as a means to lose weight. Repeated abuse is believed to cause damage to the heart, which can ultimately result in the user's death. The death of singer Karen Carpenter in 1983 has been popularly attributed to her abuse of ipecac for weight control. Ipecac has also been used by emetophiliacs, people who find vomit sexually arousing.
From the 18th until the early 20th century, ipecac and opium were used to produce Dover's powder, which was also used in syrup form.
Ipecac is also used in cough mixtures as an expectorant.

How sad that you are forced to do something that you would want to harm yourself to keep from going. Perhaps you should seek therapy as this is not a natural reaction. Perhaps you could get a therapist to make others see you are in putting yourself in harms way by going and somehow get you out of it. There are many things in our lives that we would like to get out of but must go through, and doing so often makes us stronger. When there seem to be no good answers turn to God and let him help you deal with it.
