every time we go out to eat, I take like two bites and feel like throwing up, and I’m not one to get nauseous easily. this only started when we started dating (wed been best friends for 3 years or so up until that)

its not new food, I’ve been to these places many times before

    Then journal. Dump your thoughts onto paper, consider and reconsider. Just write out what you think. It can be a text file, a paper notebook with pen, whatever. Just write a lot.

      yeah that could help, I’ve just always been a “bottle it up and call it a day” kind of guy

      dunno, my mental health has been improving now that I’m out of school honestly so well see

        Except for at the beginning of dinner dates.

        Do you at least acknowledge it’s psychological? That unless she’s dosing your first bite with ipecac, there’s no physical reason to feel nauseous during the first couple bites of dinner dates?

        Don’t bottle it up. Decades of experience talking here. Do what you can to come to terms with your feelings, thoughts, etc. Then find a job that has good mental health care and see a therapist.

        Advice: you will likely need to try out a couple before you find the right one. When you’re comfortable with someone, you’ll know.

        Don’t bottle up. That was the whole point of Inside Out. You have to experience the emotions.
