Hi, I’m new.

[twentysix]

My name is Donny. I'm 25 years old and I suffer from emetophobia. I say
suffer because I truely do suffer. I'm assuming most of you do, also.
I've been dealing (or at least trying to) with this fear for almost 13
years. I can still recall the moment it started.



I am amazed to find that there is actuallly a forum online regarding
this. I've only met one other person who's had this fear, and it was my
mother. I think I exposed her to it. She's gotten a lot better, but
I've not.



I currently moved to Kentucky from Illinois. It's been a rough few
months. My mom has always been my safehouse, persay, and now I'm too
far away. I still call her anytime I'm having an attack, but it's just
not the same.



I do find some comfort in finding that I'm not alone with this problem.
It's always nice to find people who can relate to problematic things
going on in one's life.



I had a really rough night last night, I still haven't fallen asleep. I
was concerned that I might have gotten food poisioning. That's how I
found this place.



I know this is a lot of pointless dribble, but I just wanted to introduce myself.

Donny, WELCOME


I'm in Tennessee so, not too far away. I am 41 and I have suffered with this my whole life. I cannot remember not being scared of being sick. You are lucky that your mom understands this. My mom and husband know how I feel, but only from me telling them and they can never actually know how it feels and I hope they don't ever have to know. It is miserable and I am sorry that you were up all night. I was as well, but for different reasons. My 3 year old ahs a terrible cough and it scares me, so I sat up making sure he didn't choke and get sick. Sounds dumb to most, but I have found that many of us sit up at night worrying about our kids being sick.


Donny, you have found the right place and I assure you that you will feel better just knowing that you are among so many others that do understand you. I know for me it has almost been therapeutic having a place to express everything and everyone worrys with you in a way.


ONCE AGAIN..WELCOME!!!!

Hi and thank you. I'm glad that I did find this place. I'm glad there are people who I can talk to and not feel like I'm crazy.



I am going to fight this. And I am going to win.
