im 16 and i throwup in dating situations.i need answers.

im 16  and when im around someone i like i get abnormally nervous to the point of throwing up excessivley.i dont have trouble in any other social situations. it didnt always happen but it started this summer when i was on a date and i had to run to the mall restroom and throwup, after i threwup i felt a little better and i thought i was fine. so i returned to my date and tryed to pretend nothing was wrong, but then the sick feeling rushed over me again and i threw up right in front of my date. i was so embarressed but my date and i just assumed it was just a virus, so i went home and felt fine. but the next time i went on a date it happened again, i thought maybe i was allergic to my date, but when it happened with other people too, i began to realize the problem was me. it has gotten to the point where it happens even if im around someone i have the slightest crush on(one time i was simply on the phone with someone i liked and i had to dismiss myself and throwup) and once i begin to get nervous and throwup there is no stopping me. This one person i liked came over to my house and i threw up at least 7 times, and once they left i emeidiatly felt better.my mom took me to the doctor but they just sujested counciling...but honedstly i dont see how talking to someone about my problems can fix this?At this point im so over it i just want some pill or something that will make my sickness go away.my mom made me try pepsid and dramamine, thinking it would help, but it hasnt):? this awful process continues to happen to me and i dont know why? i would like to know whats wrong with me, and what i can do to stop it. and live my life as a normal teenager.

A lot of people throw up when they are nervous.  There is even a famous actor who was renowned for his skills (even got knighted for his art) who had to have a bucket backstage so he could hurl before going on.  Social anxiety can be addressed in a number of ways, and a therapist would be really helpful.

I think you are suffering from some anxiety, especially when you are in unusual or different circumstances, like a blind date ,maybe blind dates are not for you.dont be in a rush to date at 16 you have quite a while to make friends and find kindred souls.Talking to someone about your concerns and worries can indeed help you and I agree with the Doctor. Do you do any sport, what interests have you got, this is always a good way to meet other folks. concentrate on yourself,look at the good things happening to you at this super age ,relax, and let the times begin ...good Luck
