funny you posted this the day I started Zoloft! I agree with the others, definitely sounds like some sort of phobia. I have had social anxiety pretty much as far back as I can remember. school was always really scary for me, esp when I was young, and on the first day. just having to get used to a new schedule, new teachers, new kids. the fear of getting lost. or being judged on how I looked. you are certainly not alone! Ive never had vomiting, but definitely a LOT of sweating, blushing, hot/cold flashes, shaking/trembling, upset stomach, etc.

there are many options out there for help, and many different medications. very glad to hear youve already found help and will be seeing a therapist soon. (wish I hadnt waited this long lol) maybe your mom/dad or therapist can write you a note to skip the speech. I know how petrified I was whenever I had to do things in front of class. I remember a specific moment in 4th grade when I had to do an art presentation, and when I got up there I just couldnt talk, and I remember the teacher letting me just go sit down.

anyways.. good luck with everything, it will get better soon. know you are not alone!! *hugs*
