Severe anxiety

[krystal]

I'm sure heaps of you feel this way too, but because of my emetophobia I suffer extreme anxiety throughout every day. It has been making me feel extremely depressed and gotten to the point where I would rather die then vomit, and use this as reassurance. I was just wondering how you cope with feeling anxiety like this? Any suggestions at all would be really appreciated. It's getting worse.

I'm suffering this very second. I've been suffering for 25 years now. I absolutely hate it.

Have you been to the dr..i did, and he said i really needed meds to lower my anxiety, then i needed to do some cbt.

Ugh this is like a horrible terminal disease. All the worry is killing us. If we think rationally we realize we are healthy more often than sick and we have a good life and should be able to go on as normal and enjoy the everyday things in life. But...we can't because we are plagued with this worry and fear that at any moment any time we are going to be sick. My husband doesn't understand when I say I'd rather die than be sick because that's how big of a fear it is to me. Death is a lot less scary than being sick. I don't know what part of being sick scares me the most...maybe the loss of control, the taste, leaning over a toilet, etc..but I'm not sure but I do know it scares me to death... I feel ya.
