I'm new here, but I have been struggling with emetophobia since 2nd grade and I'm 22 now, recently I have been struggling pretty bad with it. But for the past 6 weeks I have been getting episodes at work where I get extremely nauseous, dizzy, and hot. Very much like a usual anxiety attack but not. The first time it happened I was very scared and wanted to go home bad but there is no one to take my place if I leave so I struggled thru the rest of the night. The second time which was exactly 2 weeks later it happened again but later in my shift. So I got the absolutely necessary things done and left a little early. Then today it happened again. This time it happened right when I got in so there was no way I was leaving. It started with the nausea, then the dizzines. Every time tho it feels like this is it its going to happen this time, but I made it!! This time I felt like I didn't care what happened. And much to my surprise actually wanted to v* so I would feel better which is a major accomplishment! When my phobia is at a peak like its been the past few months I would never say/want that but today it seemed as tho my mind accepted the fact that its really not bad and it will actually make you feel better!!
