emetaphobia really bad i have seriously bad panic attacks and if and when i do vomit my parents have to sedate me cause i have serious mental break downs and people say its a fake phobia..... so its kinda another reason why i cut and i dont tell people that anymore cause i just get rude remarks and more judgement from them...

I am so so sorry to hear what happened to you i suffer from depression also so i know what it is kinda like.

this made me tear up. i'm recovering right now..i never went as deep as that one on your thigh that opened up like that, but i have gone deeper than intended before. i remembering getting really really lightheaded when i saw it and having a panic attack. it was so scary. it was all so scary. i started cutting in 6th grade and i'm getting better now in 9th. i take Zoloft antidepressants. i cut in school one time next to my friend and she didn't say anything even though she wants me to stop.

i cried. i never became as bad as you, but sometimes i fear i will. didn't you have.... a friend? to help you through all of this? it's so hard to be alone. but, i loved your video. i truly cried. <3

i also have emetaphobia since i was a kid so i stopped eating because i thought i would vomit if i ate...

then i recovered from my anorexoa that i had developed.

but the fear never dissapeared and i went to a lods of therapists for many years then i developed ocd and started to cut. i still cut and i eat strong medication for deppression and anxiety. i am now 16 and trying to start my life again

good luck to you <3
