Hi,

I’ve recently been diagnosed and started treatment, also starting medication soon, and am just curious if anyone is familiar with these situations.

I have incredibly strong responses to (for me) low anxiety-inducing moments. Meaning a simple lunch with friends will now raise my heart rate and turn me sick to my stomach to the point of vomiting whereas this never used to be the case.

Doctors think my ceiling for reaction has become incredibly low, making my response - in my case extreme nausea to the point of vomiting - activate in most situations.

This means that any situation such as flying on an airplane, sitting in a boat and having coffee or a phone call with someone will make me extremely nauseous, even when i don’t actually experience active cognitive fear for the situation.

The scariest part about this is the damage it does to my newly built social life.

Tldr: my body responds to social situations with extreme nausea, even when i don’t mentally experience any anxiety - is anyone familiar with this?
