I have a problem eating in restaurants.?

Question: I never eat out with friends or my boyfriend because i have some sort of anxiety problem.When i try to eat somewhere other than home i suddenly begin to feel nauseous and have to run to the bathroom.I don't get sick or anything i just freak out and get sweaty and clammy.

Answers:
You would probably benefit from some medication to lower your anxiety. In the meantime, when you go to a restaurant, decide before hand that you are not going to eat. Eat something at home before you go. Once there, order something very light like soup or a salad. Pick at it and tell your friends that you are not very hungry. If you know you don't have to eat, you won't get anxious about getting sick. Gradually, this fear will subside. Good luck.

You should see a doctor. This may get worse as you get older

I would get it checked out, especially if it is every where you go to eat. A therapist would give you good ideas to handle the situation.

SOUNDS LIKE A PANIC ATTACK. Do you go to drive thrus or eat in your car? Start slow go by yours self to a fast food, and see how u feel and go from there. Good Luck..
