Let me start by saying that I've been panicking and consumed with anxiety since last night and have yet to calm down. I'm in that mindset where I'm convinced I'm going to be stuck like this forever.

I've been afraid of throwing up for as long as I can remember. I got the stomach flu over the Christmas holiday, it lasted 2 awful days and since then my fear is RELENTLESS. I can't eat without that 'Oh God, what if I throw up?' thought. Over the past 4 months my menstrual cycle makes me nauseous. It just started yesterday and I'm going crazy because this time it's worse than ever. I've taken almost an entire bottle of Emetrol. I tried to drink a Sprite (no Caffine) but that made it worse because I was convinced that Sprite was going to come back in the form of vomit and choke me to death. I can't eat. I haven't been to class in 2 days in fear that I'll have a panic attack in class. The thing is it comes in waves where one minute I think I'm fine. An hour later I'm latched onto my mother crying my eyes out hyperventilating like an idiot because I'm scared of throwing up. I just feel totally hopeless (and scared of course) Any suggestions? I can't believe I'm about to say this but I'd love to just be able to study so I don't make my stress worse by falling even more behind than I already have.
