New here.
Just thought I'd sort of introduce myself a little bit.
I'm NeverEndingCycleOfFear..ha
I am a mother of 2 kids, married and a total and utter mess when it comes to V. Not just any V, V that I think is contagious. I am ok if it's not contagious, but if it's noro, that's it. Commit me to the nearest ward because I'm going to be a nut for the next week. I won't eat, drink, I feel sick immediately when someone expresses they feel sick, or if I notice they are acting "off". It drives my husband nuts. It's caused marital problems but somehow I've managed to keep him around. He's a great guy and tries to understand but with two kids under 5, you can imagine what they drag in the house, and how often I'm on edge. i try my best to hide it, but he knows it's there, lurking in the background.
I was a lot worse about 7 months ago. I was taking Xanex and Zophran, DAILY. Up to 3 times a day. I woke up one day and told myself, I have to stop.. So I did, the first 48hrs were complete and utter hell, then I ended up with H pylori (not from those medicines) and I became seriously ill. I lost 25lbs in 12 days. When I started to feel better I promised myself I'd continue to stay off the meds and I turned to essential oils. I've successfully been pill free for 7 months now and I'm starting to have urges again. So that lead me to research emetophobia and then I found y'all
i hope to find advice, comfort and understanding people as well as lend an ear and maybe help others thanks for reading!
