    Everytime I talk to a girl or someone i find attractive, I get a nauseous feeling in my stomach and sometimes, when the topic gets emotional I throw up, especially at night. I am afraid to ask anyone on dates for the fear of throwing up during that date. Couple days ago I woke up and I was suppose to go to a concert that day, I guess the excitement or anxiety of it, made me really sick in my morning, I havent eaten anything that morning but I was throwing up even though nothing was coming out. Every morning I feel sick, like something is pushing out of the back of my throat to the top. My mom makes fun of me and screams at me for this, she thinks its a lack of sports or cause I go to sleep at around 3am every night. What should I do? I am 19 years old. Please help.

    You should probably see a doctor.

    I agree, I think you need a doctor.

    I'd go see a doctor too. You might be suffering from GERD or acid reflux and that's treatable. The symptoms might be agrivated by anxious situations for you. I know it sucks when you have no confidence to talk to girls...trust me, it's the opposite for me! I find it very hard to talk to guys, it makes me very anxious. And I'm in my 30's!! I think it goes along with having general anxiety and emet because I've had times in my life where it was better too. See your doctor about the stomach issues and do some work on your slef esteem/self confidence (read, therapy, etc.). You will find someone special (and I will too ). Good luck!

    it sounds to me like it might be severe GERD or reflux, see a doctor. and your mom sounds sorta evil, from what you said. tell her that it isnt funny.

    also go to bed earlier, that might help a little. sometimes i get nauseous when i lose sleep.

    I agree with the reflux thing, but the fact you say you sometimes T* u* without anything actually coming up - dry heaves - can be an anxiety thing. If I get myself really really really upset or anxious over something i occasionally get the heaves which for an emet has got to be the most distressing symptom you can get!

    Do see a doctor though as i'm sure there's something that can be done to relieve these distressing symptoms.

    Good luck! Oh, and by the way, the nervousness when talking to someone you fancy - we've all been there i'm sure, the thing is when you meet the right person and you click you'll be so busy talking and getting along you will forget all that awkwardness. See if you can get a book on boosting self confidence or something and see if you can get a couple of tips in there too.

    I was having constant nausea for months on end when my emetophobia began, saw lots of doctors and eventually discovered it was just anxiety. Once I was on an anti-anxiety medication (anti-depressants can work for this too, but don't let them stick you on Prozac or its variants!), I got a lot better.

    That said, you may as well get checked out. If it really is something physical they can probably find out very soon.

    I am leaning more toward anxiety...there are lots of medications to help you, but definitely get it checked out, and be totally honest with your doc...

    It seems like it happens when you get nervous about something, so a small anti-anxiety med will help "take the edge off," as they say...good luck, Mike.

    Jackson sang from childhood, and over time his voice and vocal style changed noticeably, either through puberty ffxi gil or a personal preference to align his vocal interpretation to the themes and genres he chose to express. Between 1971 and 1975, Jackson's voice descended from boy soprano to androgynous high tenor. In early 1973, the singer adopted a "vocal hiccup", first heard in the song "It's Too Late to Change the Time" from the Jackson 5's G.I.T.: Get It Together album.

    Jackson did not employ the hiccup fully until the recording of Off the Wall; its usage can be seen in full force in the "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" promotional video. The purpose of the hiccup!somewhat like a gulping for air or gasping!was to help promote a certain emotion, be it excitement, sadness or fear. aion gold With the arrival of Off the Wall in the late 1970s, Jackson's abilities as a vocalist were well regarded; Allmusic described him as a "blindingly gifted vocalist".At the time, Rolling Stone compared his vocals to the "breathless, dreamy stutter" of Stevie Wonder. wow gold It slides smoothly into a startling falsetto that's used very daringly".1982 saw the release of Thriller, and Rolling Stone were of the opinion that Jackson was then singing in a "fully adult voice" that was "tinged by sadness".

    The release of "Bad" in 1987 displayed gritty lead vocals on the verse and lighter tones employed on the chorus. A distinctive deliberate mispronunciation of "come on", used frequently by Jackson, occasionally spelt "cha'mone" or "shamone",
    world of warcraft gold The turn of the 1990s saw the release of the introspective album Dangerous; here Jackson used his vocals to intensify the split themes and genres described earlier.
    The New York Times noted that on some tracks, "he gulps for breath, his voice quivers with anxiety or drops to a desperate whisper, hissing through clenched teeth" and he had a "wretched tone". When singing of brotherhood or self-esteem the musician would return to "smooth" vocals. "In the Closet" contained heavy breathing and a loop of five scat-sung syllables, whereas in the album's title track, Jackson performs a spoken rap. When commenting on Invincible, Rolling Stone were of the opinion that!at the age of 43!Jackson still performed "exquisitely voiced rhythm tracks and vibrating vocal harmonies".
    Nelson George summed up Jackson's vocals by stating "The grace, the aggression, the growling, the natural boyishness, the falsetto, the smoothness!that combination of elements mark him as a major vocalist".
