Why do I always feel sick?

Question

Whenever I eat.. i'll feel sick after
If I think about new experiences.. I'll start feeling sick
If I think about my future.. I'll feel sick
If I get invited out.. I start feeling sick

I still go out and eat and all that but I always have a sicky feeling in my stomach and also thinking bout having dinner at someones house, I wont because I stop myself.. I've been like this since I was a little kid and it wont stop! It makes me feel like I have no confidence at all and as though I only feel safe in my own house.. yet can start feeling abit funny!

I no this is stupid but its actually quite upsetting! Pleaseee advise me!

All the answers are helping me a lot.. but I dont even talk to my mum about things like this.. I really cant bring myself to have the confidence, I have loads of great mates but I dont have anyone at all i'd feel comfortable going to see my GP with, let alone having the confidence to bringing myself to see the GP because i just think im wasting his time..

Also, something i forgot to add, if anyone touches the front or sides off my neck I panick and i cant have any piece of clothing tight round either!

It makes me feel like im sooo weird!

Answer 1

You may be a very nervous person but i think you should see a doctor or a phycologist about this problem

Answer 2

Maybe I 'm not a right person to answer but as you're saying it started when you are small then you had something really bad experience in some point even you don't remember it. It could be a one day experience, could be treated wrong way continuously. You should find out what was a trigger, otherwise you might be like now
all your life. So I guess it's good to see professional person like a psycho analysis.
Please don't blame on yourself, and be positive as much as you can. It might be a long way but I do really hope you'll get over this someday.


If you have a nice understanding GP it is worth to talk to him/her about your problem but if you don't, don't go to there you might get heart yourself again. I've got strong feeling that you need to talk to the person who can read your past and hopefully that person can heal your wound. It would be great if somebody's doing treatment on the phone or through the internet. There should be somebody can visit you as well but might be costy. I wish I knew a person I can recommend.

Try and learn to be comfortable with the feeling of nausea, i know this may sound hard or weird...but try to go about your business in spite of feeling nauseous. If medical test are coming back clear, it could be that your problem is FEAR. I bet your at the point where you fixate on every little feeling in your throat or stomach...and mentally you tell yourself your sick or your gonna throw up. Try working on the mental aspect of your condition. Do research on vomiting, learn about how the human body processes food. Make sure your getting plenty of exercise and eating healthy nutritious food (when you do eat.) These last two things I mentioned are great for healthy body and mind... On a daily basis, speak positive statements to yourself. For instance, "I feel good today," or "I'm healthy, I have all the energy in the world." Then in small portions eat healthy wholesome food. When you can take a walk, run, exercise. This releases endorphins in your brain making you feel better. Also stay busy, try not to dwell on how your body feels, or how you think it feels. Dance in the sun and enjoy life! Hope this helps you. God Bless

Answer 4

I think you might be a very anxious person, Theres nothing wrong with that we all feel anxious and aprehensive about new things about things that make us feel uncomfortable or things we are not sure or confident about! Is there anyone else you can talk to! I dont know how old you are but a college teacher/youth worker if your in that age group or you could always speak with the smaritans, mind charity if there really isnt anyone else you can talk too! Do you think these feeling are related to your own confidence and feels about yourself. Weve all had them, it just now how or if you decide to deal with them! Good luck and be happy!

Answer 5

Low self-esteem, anxiety, lack of confidence. I used to feel exactly the same from being a small kid right up to being in my thirties. In the end Id had enough and went to docs, got some therapy, just talking, which gave me enough confidence and self awareness to start tackling the probs and insecurities Id had as a kid. it took a while, and sometimes i will still feel a little afraid at times, but now I feel like I belong in the human race again. So I would make the docs my first stop to start sorting things out. Good luck.

Answer 6

A depressive disorder is an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with a depressive illness cannot merely "pull themselves together" and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years.

Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression.

Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.


see your doctor and explain to him the way you feel.. He may refer counseling which isnt bad at all.. sometimes it helps to get the depression figured out.. Good luck to you..

Answer 7

I think you had better start with your doctor because he can refer you to a phobia psychologist or counsellor. There is no easy answer because to overcome fear one has to face it and find out it can be overcome. The good part is you aren't alone. I have been plagued with anxiety all my life.I have carried this knot of fear with me for many years. Except those that I removed it with alcohol or pills :-) I don't go to big social gatherings or even small group outings because I view them with dread. Having said that I do attend 12 step meetings and speak in front of 20 or more people with an almost blank mind sometimes. I made a few blunders and although I felt terribly embarrassed at the time-it has now passed. And I am still getting better. There are many more like us so if you can find people like yourself like I have then half the battle is won because you have people who understand you and talk to you on a level playing field. They won't talk down from some imagined superior position like some psychiatrists. Self help is much better than psychiatric in SOME circumstances. Good luck.

Answer 8

First drink more water. Second surf the net for sites that show you how to do breathing exercises. You do seem to be very nervous, is there anything you can do that will make you feel good about yourself? Draw, paint, write. When you feel a bit better, and if you have no medical problems, you might like to try yoga. Hope you feel well soon.

Answer 9

You must be feeling some sort of stress or anxiety. It sounds like you are putting a lot of high expectations on yourself.
What you are going through is not stupid if it is real.
I suggest that you seek out some form of psycho-therapy.
It's not because you are crazy, it's because you are experiencing anxiety, & you probably don't know the exact reason. Until you explore the reasons why, you will never be free of this. So ask your doctor for help.

Answer 10

It really sounds that you need to learn some social skills. Were you deprived of friends when you were little and have you always felt out of place when you either meet people or have to mix with others. It is an awful drawback and will only get worse as you get older.

Please take my advice and speak to your GP who may refer you for cognitive therapy so as to try and find out the root cause of your problem. You will feel heaps better once you know and maybe you can address the problem.

All the best and you can do it gal. Nettie UK lass

Answer 11

This is all anxiety related. You can lower your anxiety levels by practising relaxation techniques daily. You need to be undisturbed, lie down in a darkened room and LEARN exactly how a tense muscle feels and then a relaxed muscle. We are often not aware that we are tensing muscles inappropriately.

You can buy cds that will talk you through this process and get you into a really relaxed state.

You do need dto practise daily though.

Eventually you will find that you are able to relax your stomach muscles within a few seconds.
