You have been through this before and you made it through alright. Whenever I start to feel bad and wish I wasn'talive anymore I just try to think of the good things that are in my life,you can only take things one step at a time. Even though you think that emet controls your families life that could just be your opinion. I thought that my emetcontrolled my boyfriends life because I would always cancel our plans and make him go out of his way to help me because of it. After talking to him about it I learned that he did not feel like I was controlling his life. Everything happens for a reason thus you have a family and are pregnant for a reason. If I feel like killing myself I just try and rememer that if I was supposed to die at this time in my life it would not be because I take my own life. I hope this helps a little I am new at this stuff. Edited by: fvhsblondie

it sounds like you need to control that stupid morning sickness
better...do you have a pack of crackers next to the bed with water...so
when you wake up in the morning, don't move much, and eat them slowly,
give yourself at least 20 minutes to eat and relax...it will help with
the n* so then you can get up, and remember to eat frequently...like
every couple of hours, okay?? Stay strong, just remember how happy you
will be when you have your baby to hold. I know its hard. are the sea
bands working??? what about talking to the doc. about anti emets while
your pregnant??

Hi there!!

I agree with rubysoho--if you are so troubled by this it may be time to talk to your doctor about anti-emetics and anxiety. I'm sure he/she will have many things for you that will be very helpful. They may even have some relaxation techniques for you to use when you're feeling especially anxious.
I am so, so sorry you are feeling so down. Trust me when I tell you I (and many others of us!) know exactly how you feel. This phobia can be so frustrating and controlling, and also effect those around us. However, it's wonderful that you do have such a supportive husband, and you can turn to him when you need. There are days when it's really rough with emetophobia, but there are many more days that are wonderful. As cheesy as it sounds, tomorrow is another day and alot of times when I have an awful night I wake up feeling myself again.
In the meantime, talk to you doctor. You should not have to feel like this and I'm sure he/she would be able to give you tools to make it better.
I'll be thinking of you! Take care of yourself!
