I have agoraphobia and feel sick when eating all the time.
Like sometimes I can't eat @ a friends house or on a date or @ a restaurant cause I feel like I am going to be sick!!
It sucks. Yeah I see a doctor but it doesn't really help!!
Email me if ya want!!
You definitely need to get some treatment. If your parents are already afraid of an eating disorder, I'm surprised they haven't already taken you to a doctor. It's most likely not an eating disorder though, since that has a primary motive of controlling your body image. But you obviously suffer from an extreme anxiety disorder, for which there are a lot of good and easy treatments.
Get some help, please.
You need to go to doctor and get some treatment because it is not good to just not eat.
I have agoraphobia too.
If you don't eat anything while experiencing the nausea, than try just having a cracker, or something that would absorb stomach acids. Slowly up it to a piece of bread.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I have to ask why your parents aren't getting you treatment for the agoraphobia. Some counseling and anti-depressants will usually get rid of the agoraphobia...although it sounds like you - SO - don't really mind it - and that's a control issue, having everything brought to you so you don't have to leave the house. What do you do when you have to go to school - and please don't tell me your parents are enabling you by home schooling. And, you already have an eating disorder - WAKE YOUR PARENTS MINDS UP AND HAVE THEM GET YOU HELP unless you want to live the rest of your life alone, ordering pizza, having no one in your life, no friends, no boyfriend, no marriage, no children and nothing you enjoy. You have a form of clinical depression which can be cured.
