I have noticed that my phobia has gotten 100 times worse over the past year or so. I also have extremely high anxiety beginning around this same period. As of now, I am uncertain if my new found anxiety is causing me to be more acutely aware of my phobia, or if it is the phobia causing the anxiety. Last night I came down with a bad case of anxiety. As I have done MANY times over the past 8-10 months, I started to think my stomach was getting upset. Once I thought my stomach was upset, my anxiety went through the roof. I couldn't think about anyting else but my stomach hurting. It has gotten so bad but that I can't tell the difference between a real stomach ache and it being in my head from the anxiety. I should know its anxiety bc its happened SO many times, but every time it happens I think 'its real this time, my stomach hurts.' Does anyone else do this? I am going to seek help (already made a call) for my anxiety and see if this will be of any help to my emet.
