Hi, Im Kym, im 21, and ive suffered from anxiety for just over one year now. It has taken over my life, i havnt been able to work, go out in public places, just the simple things people take for granted. My phobia is being sick (Emetaphobia) and everytime i go in public i think im going to be sick, so i leave the situation and go home. I was put on Citleapram last year, and had therapy, which helped, and i was starting to feel better, so in the summer last year i stopped therapy and stopped taking medication, and i seemed to be ok, but then in Jan this year i started panicing again, worst then before, im back on new meds (Fluoxitine) and im waiting to get back into therapy. I get emotional all the time as i just want to be 'normal' again, i struggle to sleep without sleeping tablets, and it has put a major strain on my relationship.
Is there anyone else out there suffering from Emetaphobia, or simular symtoms?
and to everyone else, im keen to learn how u all cope with your anxiety
