Nauseous when I think about crush, don't know where else for

Postby Throwaway836 » Wed May 09, 2018 1:05 am

Note, I'm using a throwaway for obvious reasons


So about 6 months ago, I hit it off with a girl in my grade (I'm a teenager). We both had a lot in common, and we genuinely liked each other. Over a break in December, I went on a trip to a city (not disclosing for privacy reasons), and when I came back home and went to school, I had terrible nausea, and I felt like I was going to throw up all the way through a class, which I have w/ her. Tried to go to school the next day, and threw up early in the morning while thinking of her. Tried to go again the next day, again, threw up in the morning.

At that point, I ended up staying home that whole week, expecting it to just be a stomach bug or something and that it would go away in the weekend. Nope. Tried to go in on Monday of that week, I instantly had nausea when I was putting my shoes on. I just couldn't go to school. Over the course of the next few months, I was on homeschooling and homebound instruction for school, because I was too sick to eat.

During all that time, I went through countless doctor appointments, each one finding nothing. About 3 weeks ago, the doctors finally seemed to find out what was wrong (again, not saying for privacy reasons, but it's a fairly common disease). They put me on a different diet plan, but that hasn't helped. I'm definitely not convinced the disease they diagnosed me with is causing this.

I'm convinced I have some kind of anxiety because of the girl. Just tonight, I was trying to play an online game with her. About 10 minutes in, I had a terrible feeling of nausea, and I went to the bathroom where I ended up throwing up. I'm convinced this was because of her (technically me).

All I want more than anything is to learn what I can do for this nausea feeling to go away, so I can actually ask this girl out and not be scared of throwing up.

I would be forever in your debt if someone gave me tips that could help :D

if you ask me, this is nothing more than an irrational association. you seem to have hypnotised yourself into believing there's a connection between this girl and your nausea, when in fact you knew this girl and liked her before the nausea set in, which was after a trip somewhere. and you're even dismissive of any other cause for the nausea. if i were you, i'd accept that the two aren't connected and hope that's enough to stop your mind playing this trick on you.

My partner has had nausea with some vomiting if we have a verbal argument....we don’t fight that much and we don’t go about it in a toxic manner...but that has happened. Migraines, also.

I have also had gastrointestinal distress during these times, but I have IBS, which is exacerbated by stress.

So, I think it could be related or perhaps a coincidence, in your situation. It sounds like a manifestation of anxiety regarding your crush, IMO. In that case, I’d think it would sort out in due time. But perhaps see your doctor if it continues. Just in case it’s a virus or other condition.
