I am new to this site but, I am glad it exists. I have been living like this since I was 4 years old. It sucks. Has anyone had hypnosis work? I am starting it next week.
Does anyone remember what triggered your phobia? I know mine started when I had a bad "sv" and my brother always teased me about "v"ing.
I have 2 little girls now and I am deathly scared of them getting sick. Last time they were sick was 2 years ago and I was in full blown panic mode. I just don't want them to be the same way as me. It really sucks living life like this. I know that I do not have it as bad as others. I still go out to eat, I fly, I go on rides,I can say the words, watch it happen on tv, etc but it is always on the back of my mind. Winter time is the worst for me. I am kind of lucky, I had the nissen surgery last year and that makes it so that I can NOT "V" and I take Zofran daily.
I am interested on how others cope and what treatments they have tried. Looking to hear from you
