hope i don't ramble too long.


I just realized i have this phobia tonight. it's wonderful hearing everyone share. however, my phobia is a little different.wondering if anyone feels the same.


I don't have much of a fear of myself v*. mostly others. (i did however go 21 years without doing it, quite a record, and indicitive of this phobia i guess!) i dont have a fear myself because i have a very strong stomach. i even eat sushi regularly!


However, i work in a public place, and it seems like someone's always saying "oh i don't feel good" or "can i use the restroom". i get terrified. i also get very angry with them. i've even told customers they should go home if they don't feel well. sometimes i even walk out of work and don't come back until i'm sure they're gone.


it happened again this morning, and although the customer didnt v*, i got really angry at him for being there when he didnt feel well. that maybe made me think i had a problem. i had no idea it was so common- or there was a website with a message board!


the problem is i know i wont want to go to work tommorrow for fear that it will happen again. and i get angry at the clients for doing this to me- irrational.


God bless you all for sharing. this is wonderful. feel better just talking about it.

Hey Darth.


welcome to the group.. this is a great place to find help and talk about what your afraid of and the greatest part is .. that everyone does understand.. finally!! right? i know i felt that way when i came here.. and everyone is different..and in different stages but we all do understand in some way or another.. i am scared mostly of me but just as scared if others v* IF i know its a sv* , if its drunkeness or from a something else explainable.. then i dont freak out as much.. dont get me wrong though i still do freak out if i have a drunken freind v* out my car window.. (been there done that) anyways.. im rambling too much but i just wanted to say.. welcome to the group!!


hugs

hey thanks,


check out the Treatments section at the top there are sticky posts - articles about how to get treated, how to tell your dr or family, how to deal with the panic, and a gradual exposure site ...also a kit for therapists I've put together.


All the best!
