Hi

I've just found this site. I can't believe how completely not alone I am!! I have suffered with being scared of being s for over 40 years and just thought it was part of life, I never imagined there would be other people going through exactly what I feel on a day to day basis, so thank you so much for exisiting!

I have now stopped eating in the evening, the latest is about 5pm, otherwise I feel nauseous and that then turns to panic and the deep breathing etc. I am overweight and addicted to sugar (hence the overweightness). I have 3 strong memories of being ill as a child and after reading several posts here, I gather that is where it started. I suffer with anxiety and so the circle begins again.

Any help or advice given I would greatly appreciate. Does the hypnotherapy really work? I have Menieres Disease which is a balance disorder so sometimes this makes the feeling s worse. 12 years ago I was s on my own after food poisoning and I didn't die or anything so I know it's possible to survive, I just can't go there again. Sometimes because I am overweight I feel very angry like I deserve to be ill.

I don't wish to feel like this anymore!

Thanks for reading my post

The circle of anxiety is death to people like us. You are afraid of v*, but yet your nervousness makes you more nauseous, and the nausea makes you more nervous, and it just spirals until you're mentally crippled. Of all the phobias in the world to have, this one is special because it is self-triggering. Anxiety causes nausea, and nausea causes anxiety. This vicious cycle has crippled me enough times to write a book.
