Hi Everyone,
So my emetophobia has gone from bad to worse. For the last two and half years I have been able to control it to where I can enjoy life. But the past month its progressed v*ing is the only thing I think about. It got so bad at one point that the first day of the second semester of school I gaged in the morning. My nerves were so bad I was unable to eat for a few days. My mom suggested seeing a counselor. When I saw her she was really nice and soon after talking with me she suggested a psychiatrist. Lately usual things that I could do before are hard now; I get nervous about going to work. In the past work was almost like a comfort zone for me. I get nervous for ridiculous reasons. For the last month I have not been able to go to restaurants without being nervous and being unable to eat. I haven’t called the pysch but im nervous about that. I also haven’t been able to sleep because I wake up and get nervous about the next day to come. This is taking over my life, days that might slightly overwhelm me are killer. The counselor suggested that it might I progressed because of my family situation but I just cant get complete control of it. Will mild anxiety pills help? What can I do? I’m not a germaphobic like many others, Im actually a server so that’s the least of my worries. I feel like I might lose everything.
Thanks for listening all,
