I used to feel like this around my hubby when we first started dating. Whenever I ate with him or even thought about him while eating I would feel a little sick. It's kind of funny. It was just because he made me nervous
it'll go away over time.
That's exactly what's happening to me. I guess I just need a little time maybe.
I have an illness of the inner ear called Meniere's Disease. I've had three major surgeries and fortunately the severe attacks of vertigo that I had for a few years and the hearing loss I suffered improved dramatically because I found a good specialist in Denver. Medication helps many people with a wide variety of physical problems.
I am definitely not going to start taking some bullsh*t drugs over this. I can be normal around her it's just i think it's the nerves and such that messes with my stomach and gives me the uneasy feeling. It's not like I can't talk to her and have a good time. It's just when it comes to the eating. I'm sure it's all in my head and I just need to relax somehow. It also doesn't happen every time either.

there is nothing "bullsh1t" about understanding what an anxiety disorder is, or a panic attack, and learning more about it and seeing where it applies in your life, and how to deal with it. You can do that WITHOUT taking drugs.
It is the mature person, who cares about the quality of his health, the quality of his life, and the quality of his relationships with others, who is able to look within.
Puking is not normal, nor is it healthy. What is unhealthy is saying things like "it's all in my head" and "I need to relax." Because anxiety attacks and panic attacks are giving you helpful information that when you pursue it will bring you into a state of health. Ignoring the symptoms, or taking drugs without exploring and understanding why it is happening, simply means the problem gets worse and comes up later at another time with more severe symptoms. Best wishes.
So here's my ridiculous question. I have no problem eating normally when I'm by myself or with friends but when I get around this girl I can't eat. We used to date a few years ago and everything was fine back then. I didn't have this problem. Now we've been spending some time together lately and there's a chance of us getting back together. I think it's mostly nerves and excitement and anxiety maybe. I don't know though. It's to the point that I have even gotten sick when she comes over. I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom and throw up. Pretty damn weird and pathetic but I can't shake it.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? If you have what did you do to get over it.
Would like to know what age you are, before I give a response.
I know it has been a few years since the last post but would like to share my experience with this.
I first encountered this feeling of my throat clogging up and finding it difficult to swallow food when I travelled overseas and met my penal of 11 years. It was embarrassing and I couldn't eat more than a few bites every meal even when I was starving minutes before. I pinned it to nerves being around her, but said it was just because of the travelling. I experienced this when I was 22yo. Never having a girlfriend before that was my first (short lived) relationship.
Now three years later, getting older and the encounters I have with girls occurs regularly with coffee dates and dinner dates. I've found out it wasn't with this one girl, but with any girl. Even a one night stand with a girl I have known since I was 5yo, breakfast with her and my two mates ended in myself having a bite of toast, painfully chewing on it for a minute then swallowing. I blamed that one on the hangover.
My medical history has a few bumps in it. I had depression for several years and an online gaming addiction and gambling addiction. I was on roacatane for 12 months and took 150mg of effexor a day for a couple of years. Although it has been tough, I feel great now, and you wouldnt pick me on the street because I'm always smiling and have a sense of humour for everything. Some things still show, like the rare IBS, and now this eating infront of girls, which occured, to be exact, 4 years after everything.
So I know I what you're thinking..."dude you have anxiety.." and you're probably right, but you're not really qualified to diagnose. My tips which have gotten me to improve on this is to just experiment with it. Have a coffee with a girl rather than a meal, take your time drinking it, get comfortable. if you're at a bar having drinks, order a plate of chips or grab some bar snacks for yourself and see how you go. Don't sit at a restaurant eye to eye and order 500g steak, because it will end bad.

Here is an idea to help you not be so nervous around her...prior to your meal, fart in front of her. This will release your anxiety and if she doesn't get all fouled out about it then she is a keeper.
