Dear Forum
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for about 5 years, on and off and i have particularly suffered with panics. However when thinking about my problems, usually i get panic attacks when i begin to feel nauseus. I will start to feel that way and get more and more panicky which will then turn into a full on panic attack. The only thing that relieves this is taking some medication.
I have read about emetophobia and i have begun to consider that i may suffer from this phobia. However my most favourite hobby is eating out and i have never had a problem eating in a restaurant or having a meal until afterwards, if i either havent eaten enough or am totally full. I also feel that in the morning when i get up for work and i feel tired and worn out, i get panicky because i may be ill and nauseus at work. It really depends on what kind of day i am having. Im absalutly terrified of public transport as i associate traveling with sickness. I am terrified of being sick in public and this is what brings on a panic. I am only happy when im driving my own car and no one is around.
I dont know what to do, whether i could be a sufferer or not. I only feel safe when im in the house and nobody can see me being ill.
Can anyone give me any advice
It would be most grateful, Thank you kindly.
