Do I have anxiety?

used to never get sick up until recently. I have figured out that the reason why I get sick is mental. The only time I get sick is when I think about it. Doing regular things that I normally do such as working out, staying at the house, and playing sports are times where I never feel sick. The things I have done recently that do make me feel sick is going to school, eating at restaurants (I feel sick before eating, which usually makes me not eat), and my schools graduation. It seems like I tend to get sick around large groups of people, which is weird because that never happened until recently. I am not sure if it is anxiety though, because I read that it is mainly due to a stress reaction, but I deal with nearly no stress in my everyday life. Just about an hour ago, me and my parents were going out to eat, and I felt pretty good before leaving the house, but the closer and closer we got to eating, the worse I started to feel. Also, when I got home from the restaurant, the sickness went away almost immediately and I re-gained my appetite. The sickness just feels like a loss of appetite and a tight feeling in my throat as if I'm about to throw up. I really need to get over this, because it is starting to interfere with my everyday life. Also, I am a 17 year old male who is very happy with my life.

Dare I suggest a visit to the doctor and tell him what you have told us. You will be checked out before they say it is all of the mind. Few regular tests. But just reading your post you seem like a thinker. A person who thinks ahead of the event. It is like you are now expecting it to happen. So it will happen. That's the rules of anxiety. We expect in advance and we get. At times we can even sit there waiting for things to happen. There is nothing to say they should or would happen. No evidence. Just our minds. Because they happened once before. The earlier you get help the better. Before you let your thoughts embed themselves deeper. Or the condition worsens. There is help out there. Doctor first. The doctor will set you straight on where to take it from there. Good luck in sorting it out.
