Hi I am Lara. I have a massive phobia of throwing up and have been awaiting some help for a while now. I have kinda always been scared of throwing up but I've never been as bad as I am today. I find myself having panic attacks every night about throwing up and I get nauseous when I am anxious which gives me even more reason to think I am going to throw up. currently I'm in a house full of sickness and has made me feel even more vulnerable. As a young child I was always scared of it but this phobia was just labelled a 'oh you'll get over it its just a phase' but I learned that over time it never really got better. After having just recently being sick for the first time in four years, it wasn't a surprise that my anxiety would rise again but I never thought it would get this bad. even everyday tasks become exhausting and a lack of sleep is what I am also struggling with. Emetophobia is defiantly gonna be my number 1 enemy but I am signing up for therapy to hopefully get some help. I came on this forum to help not only myself but other people to not feel alone and make sure that no one feels alone. i've spent many years feeling like I was the only one but after doing some research I have realised I'm not alone at all and it was time to reach out. If you are struggling with Emetophobia you are not alone and please contact me if you ever want to chat about your worries or struggles about sickness phobia as I would be more than happy to help you as it would help me as well and I can also explain with a bit more detail. thanks so much. lara
