Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have had social anxiety since I was a young child I am now 30. When I get anxious I get nauseous and I will actually gag. This is so embarrassing for me, my relationships suffer and am terrified of doing anything social in fear of embarrassing myself. The other day me and my ex met up to talk and I was nervous about seeing him that I gagged right in front of him. I will never be able to get over this :(
anxiety for almost ten years, and something very similar to your
situation happened to me last night.
I got invited to my friend's place for the first time in a long time,
and I suddenly got anxious As Soon As I got there, and my
stomach started to be extremely uneasy, making weird noises
and I felt like puking but there were people I just met there
so I had to excuse myself to be outside and use the public washroom
to throw up (I spent good half an hour in the washroom and everybody was wondering where I went bc I didn't tell them other than my friend lol) ahhh. SO. EMBARRASSING. I have good days and bad days... this was one of the worst days.
when I came back to my friends place everybody was being so
awkward around me (or maybe it's just what I think) and
I just had to tell my friend I am sorry and took a cab home right away... this is not the first time it happened. and every time, I feel like the biggest loser because I can't maintain a relationship with my friends because of this kind of reason of me not being able to hang out with them unless I'm extremely calm but that rarely happens.... This is very harsh for me because i'm an outgoing and easy going person who likes to be around people. I don't have a sense of happiness in my life... it is just as miserable as a life can get.
