Why do i feel sick when approaching social situations

LegacyUser

i think i might have a touch of anxiety but ill tell you my story and see what you make of it..

theres been a couple of situations where i just happen to feel very sick, dry heaving and mabye a small bit of vomit and im not sure why (i seem to be able to link it to social situations like before i go to a house party, or before i go out on a night out)

it happens every so ofter but it happened twice recently so i thought i beter ask

i live in college and one night i was hanging out in my friends house, it was a stormy night and at around 1 o clock i couldnt be arsed going home so the friend agreed that we could sleep head to toe in he same bed. that was grand anyway, i had one of the worst sleeps of my life with her.
but the next morning she was up early to go to a lecture and i stayed in the bed in her room while she was away. none of the other 5 housemates (who i know sligltly, not very well) actually knew that i had stayed the night. then started to feel abit nervous and queasy. it was only slight but i knew it was related to the return of my friend, getting out of bed, meeting the other housemates and going back to my own house
i was doing ok but as soon as she came back i could feel it coming on, as i knew it would, and i had to rush to the bathroom, i wasnt really sick i was just retching a bit silently but it was uncomfortable all the same

2 or 3 days later, one evening i was planning to go hang out with this same friend while we got ready to go out that night. before i met up with her, i could sense the queesy feeling coming on again while i was watching tv. this time i sensed it was related to meeting another group of friends who were visiting the house and also the fact that i was going to be drinking/partying. so eventually when i made it up to her room, i felt the sickness coming on and went to the toilet where i was a bit sick. after i cleand myself up i was grand, i met all the people at the party, and i drank like i normally do, didnt have a hangover and i had a good night

does anyone know why this is happening?. i know its not and alergic reaction or something medical but i know its something mental and i cant really see how to stop it?

You need to see a doctor. It may be that you have anxiety problems as retching and feeling sick can be part of it. But I am no doctor. I really think you need to go and get it checked out.

Go and get checked out. Social anxiety, in all of its manifest forms is surprisingly common. I wouldn't overly worry about it.
