    Unhappy anyone awake...sooooo scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    *sorry i've posted this twice...i just feel so desperate*

    well...i'm back. i haven't been on here in quite some time now.
    i woke up to my alarm this morning because i was supposed to be at work by 6am.
    i was feeling kind of gurgly last night and this morning it was feeling worse. within about 15 min of waking up i started feeling like i was about to v*....and i went into a full blown panic. i mean PANIC. hyperventilating, screaming out of fear, crying, hands and mouth went numb...totally lost it. my bf was so helpful and walked me to the bathroom to put water on my face and rub my back. the n* subsided and i called into work and told them i would be an hour late.
    now it's happening in waves. it almost feels like an acid stomach or something and then i get super n* and i get this feeling like i'm going to v*. and then i flip again. i also feel like maybe i have to p* but i'm scared to...how silly is that?!?! it's like i think if i p* i will then v*....
    i just had another "attack" and i calmed myself down. but i'm still so scared.
    i'm hoping i just don't feel good because i had 3 margaritas last night....but i've been so much more drunk before and didn't feel like this or v*...i don't think it's anything i ate because my bf and i have eaten the same things. and i haven't heard of anyone getting the dreaded bug around here so idk....
    i just want to know i'm not alone. i'm so scared. i have been fine and back to "normal" all summer and now i am a million times more scared for fall now. i hate this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't live this way anymore. something has to change!! i hate this phobia. it rules my like about 8 months out of the year....and it was never this bad until 2 years ago....
    please someone comfort me anything would be nice....
    "Be in love with your life."
    There's too much beauty and joy in the world to miss. My emetophobia WILL NOT win. This too shall pass.

    I am gonna guess it's from the alcohol. I am not sure how often you drink, or what your tolerance is. For me personally any more than two drinks and I will v*, no ifs ands or buts. I hope you start to feel better soon.

    Hi there,

    I agree, it's probably from the alcohol...I don't drink, but it makes perfect sense. However, I do wake up occasionally with those weird rolling waves in my stomach and feel acid. Sometimes I even have a puddle of drool next to my face because my mouth starts watering, lol. It just feels so gross, but I know I have issues with acid reflux sometimes and I'm a big fan of dinners with garlic and onions late at night so I ask for it. Do you have any liquid Mylanta or something like that? I would guess you need to drink something and get something in your stomach.
