Hi everyone,
I'm new to this board. I've been emetophobia for 12 years. I'm 20 now and I went for almost 12 years without v******, but to my horror it happened this past July. I always thought when and if it did happen to me, the fear would disappear. That actually going through with it would cure me. Not only did it not cure me, but I feel like I'm more terrified than ever before. To make it even worse, I have this fresh memory in my mind and it continually plagues me.
I don't know if anyone else here is suffering from that. I don'tthink exposure therapy would work for me at all.I guess I let my guard down and thought I could control it completely, when in fact I couldn't.
Thanks for reading!
Ellen
