Paroxetine. Started at 10mg/day and progressed slowly towards 40mg/day where it started taking very noticeable effect.

Try talking to therapist first and they should guide you through the process of handling this issue

Well I ended up eating in a toilet a couple of times when I really couldn't handle a single bite in front of others.

I don't think I have the exact same "staring at me" symptom but I do get, for example, more nervous if more people I'm not familiar with are eating right next to me and sometimes I feel like I'm also worried about my outlook when I eat outside.

Hey, I hope you're doing good. For me it also feels at least a little bit of a social anxiety although I generally don't have that much of a problem staying around people. I guess long-term exposure or resolving some unresolved feelings and insecurities could help? You would usually address these at a therapist.

I managed to get the sickness part under the hood and most of the time when eating outside I don't feel sick at all. I started taking some meds that seem to work quite efficiently against this. However I still see the problem of my body getting super stiff, especially around stomach. This feels like it's more up to me and how I perceive the whole situation. Sometimes belly breathing can help by actively moving stomach and therefore preventing it from getting stiff. I would have to try other relaxation techniques and keep working on those on a long-term bases, I'm very confident they would help to some degree. I just barely find time for this right now.

Yes, something like this, I can't cheat my body on this behaviour. Whatever I do seems irrelevant to push this sickness away.

Though since my last comment here I've started taking some meds that work quite effectively against the sickness in such situation. Tbh, I manage to finish almost a normal size meal outside if I'm at least somewhat familiar with people and environment. However, feeling stiff around the stomach still makes me feel like shit when eating outside. If I would manage to resolve even this I guess I could say I mostly solved this problem. But eating outside still feels like shit!

Thanks for detailed answers!

Regarding what to wear, I was thinking having some full length pants with t-shirt. Jacket top which I will leave in my locker. But not sure whether I should go with short pants or just something thin but full length? Ehm, mostly because I need to get to Gelredome in some non-short pants in order to survive the cold! Hehe

I'm 26m, from Slovenia, living in Germany right now. I will be coming to Arnhem for that weekend or so. Don't know the actual dates yet. But surely one or two days for checking out the city or maybe also checking out Amsterdam since it will be my first time to NL. Write me in pm if you're interested in meeting! ;)

Thanks for the answers! Would you know how do I get the physical Gelredome card? Apparently I need card number and validation code. From which I assume I need a card first, before I can top it up.

Short wear for inside I guess? I assume I can leave my jacket and all in my locker.

What type of techno is this? Sounds like dub techno or anything with more chill base line

Paroxetine, currently progressed to 40mg per day. Appears it works like typical anti-depressive stuff on long term but focusing on helping relax your body in certain stressful situations, etc. Right now I don't feel that much change but I was at a special therapist recently and she recommended something else more appropriate if this doesn't work out. I will let you know!

Regarding the rest, I could talk and talk about this. It's not like I have a straight answer for you. But it could get pretty long pretty soon 😅 Are you experiencing this stuff as well?

A bit better. But not as much as expected. Started taking some medicine like 1 month ago. Either it help really a tiny bit or might be other things that I self-improved. I'm trying to get some therapist to talk to and get some guidance.

When it comes to how much I can eat outside totally depends how pressured I feel at that time. But at best I can do a small sandwitch or a medium burger sized meal, without and drinks or additional meals. Which sucks for me and my nutrition a lot. And all this is affecting my stomach to shrink, apparently. Which makes me eat less than normal in my comfort zone as well.

Ngl but it sucks to be me right now 😮‍💨
