I feel so alone, this is ruining my life
I’m a 21 yr old female and I feel like emetophobia has ultimately ruined my life. I’ve been struggling with it since I was 10 years old after a classmate threw up in class, but it’s progressively gotten worse. I’ve even thrown up multiple times since then and instead of helping, it just reminds me of why I have this fear. I also have always struggled with stomach issues and get nauseous and anxious super easy and the fear of throwing up puts me into a full panic. It dictates what I eat, where I eat, whether I can try to eat. It’s ruined me and I don’t know what to do. I just started trauma therapy for an event that is unrelated, but do you think she could help me with this too? I feel so alone in this.
