A week ago, my boyfriend broke up with me and then began going after my best friend. She told me, and I immediately started shaking, and then I sat in my bathroom for an hour, feeling like I was about to throw up. Over the next several days, I was incapable of eating, had constant headaches, and threw up several times.

I feel nauseous when I have serious discussions with people and I shake. But my mind never registers the emotions I feel. I can make assumptions from my physiological responses as to how I feel. For example, I found out that my boyfriend has been longing for his ex, and I choked up and threw up a bit. By this, I can assume I was jealous or angry. But honestly, I don't know how to tell emotions. When I cry, I can assume I'm sad. But I don't really "get it."

I don't exactly know what I should make of this. Prior to this current boyfriend (whom I had dated for ten months), emotions didn't even register with me. Now they're overwhelmingly causing me physical pain. Any advice on what this could be and the cause or what I can do to stop getting nauseous any time I feel emotions?
