    Default I hate this phobia :(

    It's my best friends birthday party tonight and I was really looking forward to it but I have to leave in about an hour and I feel so sick, I've got a massive lump in my throat and have like a really heavy chest and stomach if that makes sense? I know its just anxiety but I can't relax I'm sick of my life being ruled by something that most people never think about! Anyway sorry I just needed a rant

    I'm sorry you feel that way
    This phobia does really suck... do you have any benzos to help ease the anxiety or any antiemetics to overrule the nausea?

    Well you have two choices my dear:
    Go out and discover for yourself it was just anxiety (only you know your body and mind best), and potentially have a wonderful time.
    Or stay in and discover it was only anxiety.

    None of us can advise you what to do indefinitely, for obvious reasons; but we hope for you to make the choice that works best for you! Much love
    Life is so worth living.

    This always happens to me!! I hate the phobia and i feel like i cant get over it. I struggle to believe that the sick feeling is just anxiety because i always think 'well what if it actually is sick this time'. Nobody understands and thats why i came here. I know how you feel :-( xx

    So guess what, I went to the party but had to come home! It was so embarrassing but all my friends were amazing about it! I'm trying to calm down so I can go back in a bit though.
