New!

I am new to the group & just need to vent. I just want to know if anyone out there suffers from anxiety caused by the thought of throwing up? I have a violent fear of it, and I have no idea where my fear comes from. I obsess over this thought all day, everyday. I barely sleep & I don't ever eatZ I'm always freaking out. I have panic attacks every night. Anyone else?

I'm not paranoid about throwing up... I think our anxiety is stemmed from our fears... I remember when I was about 13 I had a wicked fear of choking so I barely ate and when I did eat I would chew the hell out of my food( not very tasty) I know when I am stressed my anxiety is worse... Maybe start with things that are easy to digest and light maybe soup.. You can't starve yourself!!
