Why do I feel sick after a productive interaction?

Post Reply New Topic

Since my current therapist is leaving soon, he introduced me to some others so I can pick which one to switch to. I was able to talk about various things that interested me, and I seemed to have a better handle on things, and they told me I seem intelligent.

And yet, later that night, I feel sick and uncomfortable about it. I feel kinda invaded.

I think this happens all the time I can make a connection to someone. I can seem to connect at first, but then I shut myself away. It's almost like I gotta protect myself from the person, or they'll control me.

benefficli, it appears to me that your are struggling with Obsessive control Disorder

I'd like to know the answer to OP's question. I've had the similar problem to OP's in her saying "I feel sick and uncomfortable about it. I feel kinda invaded".

I've avoided making friends for this reason, IDK what's wrong with me.

I know what you mean. I don't have friends but I do interact with coworkers to a point. The second they want to do something at lunch or after after work, I feel like they are getting too close and I refuse to have my schedule interrupted. I then stop talking to them. It might be a control issue. Don't know. Sounds weird but I would rather sit in a quiet place. I think you need what is yours and wholly yours.

Have you had friends or people who in the past, made you part of their agenda and didn't want to do anything you wanted to do?

It happened to me a couple of times
