I have the same thing happen to me ,Milk and Ricky , sure makes it hard to go out with a woman when you're afraid you might throw up on her doesn't it ?
ya it's just as terrifying thinkin ur gonna throw up on a man.. what guy is gonna wanna date someone who's always worrying she's gonna spew?? i find realising that everyone has insecurities and arent as confident and "cool" as they seem helps, and when u think you're gonna throw up think of familiar, comforting things like ur fave song or something, it calms you down and takes your mind off it.
I have the vomiting fear cause I'm a model so I'm constantly being critisized for being "too thin" or not eating enough, so I get paranoid people will be thinking I'm anorexic or bulimic (which I am neither!) so I feel I can't leave anything on my plate then I get too nervous, my stomach churns and I end up not being able to eat a thing cause I know I'll be sick. Then I feel I have even more to "prove" next time!
I'm scared of admitting to people I have SAD, even when I know them really well cause I think it'll seem weird or scare them away.. does anyone else feel like that?
it's so reassuring to hear other people talk about this! I'm not even sure if I have sa, but it's the only thing I can think of that my doctors haven't tested me for lol... I seem to get sick anytime I'm around someone I like! It's horrible!!! Sometimes I also get sick if I'm confronted with something horrible. The person I was dating told me they cheated on me one time and I threw up then too. now on thursday I'm going to hang out with this guy I really like who's said he's interested in me. i threw up the last time we hung out (I didn't tell him) so I'm sure it'll happen again this time. I'm just going to try not eating the day of our hang out, but sometimes i manage to throw up anyway, lucky me lol. has anyone found a way of controlling the vomiting? any tips you have would be so amazing. I'll definitely try the stuff that's already been mentioned, concentrating on comforting thoughts and stuff like that. thank you so much, guys.
I get this too. When i was in my teens I used to get it very often, not so much now but it does come back. I have just got very good at not being sick. As its all linked with your negative thoughts, if you distract yourself from thinking about being sick that will stop it happening.
For example before a job interview i am at home thinking "im gonna be sick, im gonna be sick, im gonna be sick" and when this happens I am sick. If instead I keep myself busy and stop thinking about throwing up, there is less chance of it happening

Hi everyone and anyone who reads this Im very appreciative. Im new to this web site and feel that ive been suffering from sa nearly all my life. When im faced with situations I find difficult ,like performing( Im a struggling musician) I throw up, and as you can imagine this is v. embarrasing. I was wondering if anyone else ever gets this and if anyone has found a way to deal with it. Im also looking for friends on here so if anyone wants to chat then email me. Thanks for reading this again. Milk
I used to have this when i was 14 and took me two years to get over. Believe me I know it's something horrible to have, really torments the mind and body. That horrible physical sensation combined with sharp emotional stress, always struggling to not vomit and embarass yourself in front of everyone. I hate just thinking about it. For me, vomiting was the result of feeling nervous about vomitting in the first place. After you vomit once and experience that embarassment, it's hard to not think about it when you're in a similar situation to when you had vomited previously. The fear/anxiety created from thinking of the possibility that it could happen again seems to accumulate itself inside your stomach and transforms into nausea. One thing that really helped me was getting proper sleep. I would almost never vomit on any day when I had gotten 8+ hours of sleep. I seemed to have better control over my thoughts and stomach, contrary to days when I had only gotten 4-5 hours of sleep i'd usually vomit right away in the morning. Listening to music was effective too, anything that can get your mind off of your stomach but it isn't always a practical solution depending on the situation you're in.
