[ehbiteme11]

do you ever find that when you get home you feel totally calm i have emetophobia and anxiety and i find when im in a public space and i start panicking n freaking out as soon as im near home i am completely calm as if i feel safe at home its awful because ur home does become a prison but i beleive we can all overcome this its just about pushing the boundaries my doctor says if i can do 10mins a day in a place i feel uncomfortable such as a shopping centre ect its a start to recovery :)bit by bit

[malvern666]

I have this I think... I'm always nervous about throwing up whenever I'm at school or out in public and I'm currently going to a day program that is supposed to be helping people with anxiety, and it's still really hard.

[SlickNick731]

@malvern666 ok well theres only one thing though. as a sufferer i know. all people dont like to see or hear or actually vomit. but people with this is like to the extreme. they wont even go out to eat or even go out at all.

[SAMnOLIrockXXX]

hey has anybody got any new ideas to overcome emet yet? ive tried what feels like everything and im down to sippin 1 glass of water a day, eating once a week, cant have anyone near me and just lying flat in bed 24 hrs a day. emet sufferer all my life, 25 now. thnx

@SAMnOLIrockXXX

Not eating obviously isn't good for you. It deteriorates your muscles and weakens your immune system.. You should try eating small meals, maybe 4 small meals a day. Like, for breakfast, have an egg and a piece of toast. Lunch, small chicken salad. before or after dinner have a cup of fruit or some mixed steamed veggies. and for dinner eat something filling and hearty. I know the sick feelings. I know how it feels. But i'd rather feel sick to my stomach than be weak and unable

[SAMnOLIrockXXX]

@Eds3284 its a bit too late for that, ive already wasted from 9 and a half stone to 6 stone, im just looking for a cure now

[woolzytheindieboi]

wow, more than a year of daily panic attacks, ironically i'm ''sick''' of it and have contemplated suicide, as i'm writing this message i'm having a panic attack, it's completely ruined my life

[RockandRoller918]

Good to see your well and doing good.Ken

[Eds3284]

well, ask your parents if you can be home schooled so you can um.. at least get your education. Your schooling is very important and if you don't graduate, your chances of success in life are very slim. You need to talk to your parents and your doctor about anxiety. Anxiety could be the reason this is happening to you. i am very surprised a DR has not noticed this. Now, don't go off and say "I HAVE ANXIETY DISORDER!"

[Eds3284]

just tell them how you feel and you 'suspect' anxiety is the culprit. they should prescribe you some anti-anxiety medication that will help you get through the day. also, did you know your parents can get in trouble for you missing school? If it appears they cannot take care of you, someone at the school, like the counselor might call CPS to find out what's really going on. Please talk to your school counselor and tell them whats going on and ask about the options of home schooling. Good luck.

last night i felt like i was gonna be sick and i nearly passed out

[Eds3284]

I feel that way at time too. It's very scary but try to remember that it will pass, and keep your mind occupied on something else if possible.

Good luck to you

I am so happy to hear others that I can relate to with emet. There is hope for all of us to beat this and live anxiety free lives. I got a newsletter from the linden method. Gonna try it and also look into hypnosis. God bless you!

[Eds3284]

It's very expensive! I want to be able to try something like it too, but i must say, my old Landlord had bought the program a long time ago and she still has problems....But then again, everyone is different. For something that costs that much money, i need a guarantee that it will work!

[HelloxBritty]

I knew I had a phobia,But I never knew there was a name for it,I was 5 and I got sick eveyrwhere over 10x, and every since, I have been terrified. i dont leave my house

[CandyGal0055555]

@HelloxBritty are you serious that you dont leave the house?

[jonman401]

Hey kcj1993. I have the same problem. I stay awake all night wondering if im going to be sick the next day, or what if im sick at school. and things like that. i know how you feel.

[kcj1993]

Yea, most of the time I'm up till 4am most nights (or mornings?)

[amyintoxicatedox]

same :O!

[kcj1993]

Yea, I get like that sometimes. Life is hell for me (and I don't mean that in an attention-seeking emo-faggot way).

[amyintoxicatedox]

i feel like that !:(!!

[kcj1993]

I have the same problem but I'm a 16 year old guy. I feel weak and pathetic and just plain dumb for being emetophobic. Sometimes I just feel like I want to die because I can't take the stress. Sometimes I can't get to sleep till 3am. I didn't even think this was a common fear. I felt like I was all alone until a few months ago when I googled it. I live in New Zealand and both my parents are on the unemployment benefit so we are poor and my parents don't really get what my life is like either.

[kcj1993]

looking forward to a reply from anyone that cares.

[Uschi640]

Hey Iv'e got emetaphobia 2 and it rly sucks! I feel like dying 2. Just some help tht I do: When you get these anxious thoughts, they don't mean anything! they can't make you sick! That's what i tell myself, also find an activity to get your mind off of it. Like watch Tv or read a book, play with friends. I know what your going through, your not alone. You can contact me if u want.

[kcj1993]

Thanks for the reply! I'm in a worse place than I was when I wrote that comment 2 months ago. I can't even go to the bank now! Heck, I don't even want to leave my home. Last night I had a little stomach pain and that lead to a four hour panic episode. Deep breathing works best for anxiety most of the time. I know what you mean about feeling like dying. I wouldn't know what to do if I got sick.

[amyintoxicatedox]

hey you have emetophobia??

xxx

[amyintoxicatedox]

i care!

i feel the same as you i often feel i want to die because of the stress. it seems the only way out.

how are you now? xx

[kcj1993]

Not that great. The stress is bordering on unbearable. My appetite has crashed again and I fear that I'm going to lose more weight and I'm averaging 1-2 panic attacks a day.

[CandyGal0055555]

@amyintoxicatedox I FEEL LIKE I WANNA DIE 2 SOMETIMES!

[garyhyp]

Your symptoms and life-style seem very similar to the many clients we have helped --- the root cause of emetophobia is always with something of your past.

It'll be connected to emotional conflict that has not been resolved ... as you mention, the hard part is getting your mind to let go.

There is an answer to the resolve ... it's Pure HypnoAnalysis.

Feel free to contact me if you want a referral to a qualified practitioner.

Best regards ... Gary
