panick attack during nausea and thrwoing up

Many foods and smells make me sick,give me nausea.But the worse thing in the world for me is feel sick,nausea and throwing up.I think i get a panic attack when i throw up,it feels horrible,like dying.BUt after i am finished throwing up i feel very good,mentally and pshysically,but not for a long time(aproximatively an hour).I am saying this in the context that i have been depressed for 7 years,and probably psychotic.The thing is that the depression and anxiety and psychotic symptoms wich have been present for a long time are very similar with the feeling when i am sick,when i feel like throwing up.Could it be a connection between the fact that throwing up and feeling nausea make me feel anxious and gives me a panick attack and the depression?
I know that a symptom of depression is nausea,but this not the point.The point is how i feel when i am about to throw up or when something gives me nausea

I was also wondering whether you could feel afraid of being punished, maybe by your father, for being seen as weak or sick.  I definitely think that it is related to anxiety.
I was also wondering about the effect of medication, that could leave you feeling nauseous.

I had trouble processing your post as I have been having migraines.  I hope my post isn't too far off-topic.

When you feel sick or about to vomit watch what feelings come up for you.  These can sometimes give us lots of information.

I hope this settles down soon.  It doesn't sound very pleasant to have to live with.  It seems like you're making a huge effort to try and understand this.  Keep it up.  You will find the answers eventually.

There are a number of possibilities that come to mind. My guess is that the connection may have something to do with anxiety. Perhaps something related to a fear of contamination, or a fear of gaining weight, or some need for purity or perfection...
