I dont think I could turn anywhere else, im battling on my last legs now, I have got to the point of exhaustion and at 19 im nearly unable to even leave the house.


I have an acute fear of being sick, and I constantly think about it (involuntarily) no matter what i do or where i am i think about it, my stomache turns and i feel very sick, my food sits at the top of my stomache and I burp every few minutes, i become light headed, my palms sweat and i feel weak and tired.


I have had a major blood test which revealled nothing but good health, but this life im living feels like im dying.


My tummy feels constantly tight, i clench my teeth and when i talk i feel like im going to gag so i clench my mouth shut and hyper ventillate, whilst in that state i panic about being sick, about being stranded somewhere and about other people thinking im a weirdo.


This condition was under control for many years, but one faithful night in july i drank too much and suffered a hangover the next day which made me gag, from that day my attacks of nausea are severe and last up to 18 hours a time which then disables me for a whole day. The people around me are nasty towards me, they claim im a hypercondriact, an idiot etc and i end up feeling so depressed, my doctor is also useless and can offer no help.


Im so depressed, i constantly feel sick, i have no relief from it, i have tried everything from rennie, motillium 10, gaviscon, andrews salts, milk of magnesia etc. Nothing curbs the nausea at all, not even a bit.


Im going down hill because im avoiding more situations now then ever, everyday situations that i used to deal with now end up with me having a panic attack, and because i haveno help im becoming more negative by the day, its a constant battle, i have no guideance and dont know where to go,


I was considering some psychopherapy, hypnotism or confrontation to control or get rid of this blasted phobia.


If we are scared of something, can we not train the brain to overcome it? would v* a number of times prove to yourself that its really nothing to be scared of?


Is this phobia in a part of the brain that you have no control over?


What my main concern is that this fear will escalate to the point of me no longer eating or me actually v****** if so and if that does happen wont my choices become slim?


Why has my brain gone from a healthy state to such a downward spiral? is there any treatment to disconnect the circuit in the brain that triggers nausea?


If I receieve no help soon then my range of options grow slimmer. If anyone knows anything i can do or any answers id be greatful
