New member and ready for a change

[Quinnee]

Hi, I am a new member to this website and I am so nervous. I've been living with this fear of vomiting for as long as I can remember. I know it started when I was a child and I've been living with it ever since. It's so comforting to be able to put a name on my fear. I didn't realize it was called emetophobia until a year ago. I've done so much reaserch in finding info on it and therapies for it. I didn't realize how common this phobia was. I've felt so alone and ashamed of it that I've kept it to myself for a long time; only some of my close loved ones know that I suffer from this phobia. I am partially relieved to know that there are so many others like myself. So many share the same stories on how they've coped with this phobia. I just don't want to suffer any longer. I am also terrrified even more since I am expecting my first child in March. I have so many fearful thoughts, but I know I have to be strong for my unborn child and my health. I can't wait to start down this new path to recovery and support from others. I look forward to becoming phobic free one day.

Nice to have you onboard Quinn; couldn't wish to meet a nicer, more accepting group of people.

Whatever you seek to gain from the boars, I hope you get!
