good to hear i'm not alone.. believe it or not, i've been suffering from this since i was a kid and have been searching for a cure all my life. i'm 30 already.

when i'm outside, i always feel like throwing up whenever i need to have meals with friends (especially strangers), not only that i feel lack of appetite, i actually feel like throwing up/vomiting and i can't control it.

just the 'thought' of EATING or FOOD will make me feel nauseatic

and it only gets worse as time goes by, it's embarrassing and it's really affecting my life.

it's killing my social life too because when people meet up, it's usually in some kind of a restaurant.

strange enough, this only happens when i'm outside, i feel fine when i'm at home.

it's definitely some kind of an anxiety-problem.

this may have something to do with my nervous system + digestive system, i went to the doctor a few times but to no avail.

i went to a hypnosis center in KL once and they're trying to charge a ridiculous amount for the sessions and the dude was not convincing AT all, he sounded more like a scam artist, so i didn't went for it.

i've heard of stories about how hypnosis can tap into our subconscious mind and find out what's the origin or what exactly that is causing that problem. (lol really?)

i don't mind seeing a psychologist or hypnosist or something like that if they are REALLY good, if you have a good recommendation that can help in this area, please let me know.
