How lovely to hear a success story! I hope someday I am able to get over my emetophobia. At the moment my main struggle is eating in a restaurant. I've been sick in the toilet of restaurants a...

When I have panic attacks I feel really hot. My head especially, the back of my neck and my palms. I feel weak and dizzy and gag a lot. It started off this way but eventually I did end up v*. After...

It's so much better to have breakfast because it really helps you throughout the day. That said, I know it's easier said than done. I think when you're not feeling too good having something like...

rgarton- thank you! 12 days after the failed date I attempted to meet him again (this was on Monday) and somehow I held it together and everything went so well :) walking out the front door was the...

Cinque- I know the worst part is that it usually takes a few days to pick yourself back up and start being brave again. We still coudn't meet up again so rescheduled for another day. (I'm from the UK...

Hi Vicky! I'm 20 and from the UK too!

I had issues with university too at first. Things are easier now but I couldn't sit anywhere but the back in an aisle seat. I told my university about it and they made lots of special rearrangements-...

Thank you! :) I just have to keep in mind that I did it this time so it can be done again- once it's a habit I think I can see him properly. I struggled with university and meeting friends before,...

Thanks for your reply, I thought I wrote something wrong because no one else has responded and that was my first ever post. I actually managed to see him this Monday! I was terrified because I think...

I used to limit my food intake because of my emetophobia, but like you and everyone else I feel even more sick on an empty stomach, so I eat often and in small amounts.

I have a wonderful boyfriend who I've been with for 5 years.
About 3 years into our relationship we broke up, after that my emetophobia spiralled out of control- it was always in the background but...
