Hello everyone.I have just recently found this site and its nice to see other people discussing the same feelings as I have.
I am 21 years old,and know exactly how my phobia started.It was my First day at High school,I was looking to make a good impression,I wasn't too nervous but had a very sore head all throughout the day.I was getting through the day well,making new friends,meeting the teachers,untill about 15 minutes from the end of the school day in maths,we were told to hand our calculators back to the teacher at the front of the class.Everyone got in a line and I was at the back.Slowly the line moved untill it was my turn to hand my calculator back,but just as I put it on the teachers desk I threw up all over the teacher.Everyone in the class was either laughing there head off or going ewwwwwwe.This didnt help me as I was feeling very embarassed already.The teacher then got up and started shouting at me saying"why didnt you tell me you were feeling sick"(I did feel sorry for her).I didnt know I was going to be sick ,I had none of the feelings prior to being sick usually.
Now I am looking back thinking how one little thing has ruined9 years of my life.I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks really bad .I have never had a job,or much of a social life other than sport which is my saviour,luckily I am studying or I would go insane.I am thinking of going to a hypnotherapist to help me out.If anyone has any advice on thephobia feel free to email me.
thanks for reading
