When I was in my highest forms of the phobia, I thought it was me afriad of others being sick...but my counselor soon told me that I was fearing myself getting sick the most.
Lately, I can honeslty say that the counselor and I did a good job of helping me get over my fear of others being sick...what he told me was that the only way I was going to get over my fear of being sick is if I purge myself and he told me that If I was ready to do that then I should come back to his office and he can help me and guide me. He said it was a black or white situation and either I make myself sick or not...will determine me fully getting over the part of myself getting sick.
Now, this to me seems pretty insane, but it makes since at the same time. It has been almost 2 months since I was out of therapy and I can say that I honestly thought that I was okay with myself getting sick...but realized that now i am not. I am cured of others getting sick....I can actually say I would rather see another get sick rather than me getting sick
Has anyone ever been told to make yourself sick so that you can be cured of this phobia of yourself getting sick???Edited by: christianbeauty
