...See more I havent had anxiety and attacks since the 5th grade and its happening again. I'll start off by saying I have severe emetaphobia. I have not thrown up in almost 8 years. Now, at school, almost every day I'll have a panic attack that involves nausea. I hate it so much. Last week, when the coach was giving instirctions, i suddenly felt really weak and nauseated. I suddenly ran out, to the locker room, without warning and sat down to try to make myself feel better. When I did, i came back, and told the group that " i thought i had an orthodonost appointment, but it wasnt at this time. " Whats worse, is that my ex-best friend that I had a huge fight with in 6th grade, and his friend was there. That same day, we had to do an activity where we got in groups and walked around the school. On the walk, i got the same DAMN feeling again. My friends were trying to talk to me, and I was acting weird. I ran inside and up to the office so I could settle down. Again, made the excuse I had an orthodonist appt. This happens alot during other periods too. I am always taking deep breaths to try to make myself feel better. Today, we had the 12 minute run. I thought I could do it, but Lo and Behold, another one happened. After only 1 lap, i said i had an orthodonist appt AGAIN, to avoid embarrassing myself, and ran back in. I walked in the hallways a bit until it left. I had to tell random people, and made sure my ex-best friend was nearby. Also, a friend that I had to get close to yesterday, told me he had the stomach virus recently. That triggered so many panic attacks yesterday and today, worried I might get it, because he touched my shirt yesterday and today. What doesnt make it better, is that in 15 days, I depart for a 7 day trip to DC. I am super nervous for this. Ugh. Thank you if you read all this, and since I didnt do it today, I have to take the 12 mintue run AGAIN tomorrow with a different class. :( sigh
