I hope its ok to post this here... I didnt see an introduction section.
Anyway, I never knew emetophobia existed. I am terrified of throwing up. My whole life is planned around things that dont make me sick. I carry chewable ginger gravol with me everywhere. About 3 years ago I woke up really sick and I think thats were it got really bad. I didnt even leave my room. I took like 6 extra strength gravol a day, didnt go to school, didnt go to work. I figured I had stomach cancer or something. I had all sorts of tests done but they couldnt find anything. All the antinausiants they gave me didnt work. And I still have it. Everyday I feel sick, but its not as bad as it was before. It gets worse when I go out in public or eat in public, or eat big meals. So I have to chew away at gravol just to get through my day! If I have to travel I dont eat anything that day. For about a year I bearly ate anything everyday and got diagnosed with an eating disorder. Im getting over it now, but Im afraid of weight gain too - goes with the ed part I guess. I only eat healthy food, in small amounts beacause Im afraid that preservatives and toxins will make me ill. I also dont eat wheat or dairy or much meat - because Im afraid it isnt cooked.
Well, blah blah blah that was a long intro, but I cant believe there are other people who think like I do. Amazing.
Also - a question, what is sv?
Thanks
