"I always feel sick whe i eat?"

is then when you eat, or just the look of food on the plate? If i am served a large plate of food the sight makes me sick and i rarely eat it. Small portions that's the key.

I think anxiety is the key here....and YOU are NOT stupid !!

In fact...if you are clever enough to ask about the anxiety then it must follow that anxiety plays a role !

My nephew had very similar reactions . At one stage he could never go into a McDonalds restaurant because the smell of the place would make him noxious.

I too,....have often got into such an anxious state that I have thrown up....

Lack of sleep !..quietness, loss of appetite !!....all possible signs of anxiety !

So....perhaps you should look at the cause of the anxiety and work back from there.
