another new girl

[loop-star]

hey everyone....just registered today and wanted to say hi.

I'm in my late twenties...I'm scottish but I live in New Zealand. I've been emetophobic for as long as I can remember and have never been quite able to put my finger on what caused my phobia or when I realised I was so afraid.

I've had my ups and downs over the past few years - times when I felt like I wanted to run away from my life. Times when I became a my own prisoner, locking myself away from family and friends. But I've also had some amazing times. Days where I've work up and just thought "screw it - clearly I'm not in control of the rest of the world - but I can either chose to stay at home today and be afraid - or I can chose to go off and do something good"....

looking forward to getting to know you all!
