I was always under the impression from people here that emetophobic panic attacks will never cause v*. Well, just recently, my panic attacks go like this: I'm in a situation where v*ing would be very embarrassing, and I begin to picture myself feeling n*, causing myself to slowly begin to feel n* and ending in me feeling so extremely n* to the point of almost dry heaving, but I usually remove myself from the anxiety provoking situation before v* occurs (running for the exit).

I just finished reading a whole forum of people who v* with panic attacks. This has confirmed my fear that panic attacks can indeed make you v*.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this? I guess my main questions are: can emetophobes really v* from panic attacks and anxiety? Or is the n* that we create (as intense and real as it feels) truly all just in our head, and cannot make us v*?

I have been avoiding any social situation due to my panic attacks because I am unsure if they will result in v* if I don't flee the anxiety provoking situation.

Thanks
