Hello everyone, I have been suffering with Emet for the
past 2 years quite badly, I am 21 years old. I got
married 20 months ago, i had a real quick wedding with
hardly anyone there and then we just went home, i
regret it, i wish i had a big beautiful wedding but i was
afraid of getting sick infront of people. I had a baby
girl 16 months ago and since having her ive been feeling
quite anxious of sickness because of her being sick a few
times a day as a baby does! I luckily THANK GOD had no
morning sickness, just felt it.I havent BEEN sick for
about 5 years, i hardly am ill, this is why its so
frustrating, i get really annoyed with myself, my husband
is amazing he just gets sick, vomits then says he feels
better etc, no panic! My 16 month old baby daughter just
pukes and is done with it shes so brave. I am trying
to learn from them but i just cant get over the panic. I
stayed in alot since having my daughter, the idea of
going out in hot room fulls of people and the germs
spreading is yuck. I am getting a bit better in the sense
i now have the family car and i go out to supermarkets
and go girly shopping with my daughter and we have great
fun days. As soon as i think about it, im back to square
one. I sleep sitting up in fear of being sick in my
sleep, I thoroughly clean everything and use way too much
antibacterial cleaner! I HATE public transport or people
coughing around me Im frightened of my husband hearing
and seeing me be sick, even though i can go to the toilet
in front of him and im never embarassed! He said he will
look after me and hold me and be there for me but i just
cant get rid of that panic feeling. I get all hot, shake,
my body tenses up, i dont eat which ends up in me loosing
my sight, dizziness, my legs collapse. When i was younger
i wasnt a poorly child, ive probably been sick about 5
times in my whole life! I hate hospitals wont go anywhere
near them. Ive lost loads of
weight im only 8 stone now and im 5 foot 6". I want to
put on some weight but find it hard when i cant face
eating for fear of being sick Im scared to death of
cooking and eating and preparing meats. I have 3 cats and
when they have dirt on them i go mental! Its really
unfair on my family i feel awful, i wish i could just
shake it off but its really grabbing me. Please could
anyone offer me any helpful tips or ideas? I do see a
councillor but she doesnt to help much?! Thanks alotEdited by: maiasmummy
