Hi, I'm new to this app and not sure how everything works but I just need some help.
Okay so I'm 16 and I have suffered from anxiety since I was about 11? It all started when I was sick one day and since then I have been terrified of being sick. That's when everything started, I would hardly eat anything because I would be scared of being sick, this went on for a few years until I lost so much weight I had to see a specialist and councilor. I always used to panic, feel sick, be retching everywhere to the extent that I couldn't go out or sometimes go to bed without all this happening. It's hard to explain this all but I'm trying! Anyway, about a year of counseling and I was feeling much better so I got discharged and I have been really happy with life and eating lots!
Until now... I have just left high school and my problems have now returned. I went for a job interview a few weeks ago and was starting to retch again, I couldn't talk because it felt like the whole of my stomach and throat were trying to come out... In-between these attacks I could just about squeeze some words out. Once one was over I just walked straight into the shop and met my interviewer, of course once I was with her I was fine and then after that I was fine.
Last week, my mum got a call from my sister (she was staying with grandparents for a few days) she said she was about to be sick and had to go. When I heard this I automatically went into panic mode because of thought of her being sick, for about two hours I suffered with panic attacks where I felt really sick and I was retching. I was trying to calm myself down so much that I almost passed out. Anyway I felt better once I calmed down and was able to get some sleep. However, in the morning I just didn't feel right, I normally feel fine and back to normal after but I just felt constantly sick.
Now for the past few days I have been suffering really badly with panic attacks and anxiety (not actually sure what it is). I get all fidgety and start feeling really sick and my breathing increases. It has got to the point again where I physically feel like I can't eat because I feel so sick. I can only manage a slice of melon in the morning without gagging.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really struggling with this and I'm so annoyed at myself that my once resolved issue has come back and it's now affecting my life. I'm going on holiday in 4 days, don't know how I'm going to manage to eat an feel really calm!! Please can anyone help me?!
Thank you!
