    Unhappy Desperately need a friend...

    Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've suffered from emetophobia since I was about 6 years old which also triggers horrible panic attacks. I recently found out that I am now about 7-8 weeks pregnant. Ever since week 5 I've had horrible morning sickness symptoms but never have gotten sick. I woke up this morning in tears. I just cannot take it anymore, no one truly understands, I feel like I'm being crazy because of this fear...but it's REAL and effects my life in every way. I was just seeing if there was someone who would like to keep in touch with me on a regular basis and help each other out in a time of need or just make a new friend who can understand.

    Xoxo

    It really is! It's very hard for other people in my life to understand it. They always say "I don't get it, what's the big deal" and I'm just like it's the biggest deal in the world!!! But I would love to keep in touch with you and make a new friend! I don't know what would be the easiest to keep in touch, whether it be e-mail or texting, let me know!!

    I'm sorry you're feeling so ill and having such a tough time with it. We're all here for you, so you can pop by the forum whenever you feel in need of support. Lots of women on here have had babies and will have tips on how to alleviate morning sickness. I think the main thing is to avoid your stomach getting completely empty. Ginger can help. And you should talk to your doctor about it - your doctor will be able to help. They can prescribe safe drugs if natural remedies aren't working xxx

    I have made a few frinds here but no one I email or text or anything. I would love to swap emails or texts with someone who understands. Allthough my emet has been much worse in the past, I still feel like I need some extra support from time to time.

    My Husband and I are going to try to get pregnant very soon. (with in the next month or two) It would be awsome to have a pregnant emet friend!!

    I am happy to be a friend! I am also from Illinois! I have been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years with no luck! It would be great to have an understanding friend close by! Where in Illinois are you?

    No passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
