Hi everyone , i'm dan , a boy from France .
My english isn't very good , so please forgive me .(..?)
In france , we have a website like this one for people who have emetophobia too , so i had a quick look on internet too see other emetophobian? emetophob's ? around the world .
Anyway , I've always had the fear to vomit (be sick? throw up?) but i was a kid and didn't really think about it .. In 2008 , in march , i don't know why i started to feel very bad , always scared to feel sick , alway's panicked .
It got worse and worse every day .. i lost weight ... 68 kg => 53 kg , i became very fine (slim?) , i stopped work , i split up with my girlfriend ( after 4 year's together , i stopped seeing my friends , i went to the hospital loads of times because i just could not stand up anymore , i was to week .. i sore a few psychologist but never took stuff to feel better ( sorry i can't find the word .. you know , you take them with a glass when you're sick '' ) .
In 2010 , in summer , i still had that terrible fear .. alway's thinking about my self and nothing else but being careful to everything i eat and touched , and my big brother killed himself , suicide . He was with me everyday and i didn't even realize that i needed help ... That day i understood that to ''vomit'' is nothing , there is so much worse .. Since he died , i started a new life , new girlfriend , i eat like everyone ..53 ===> 64 today .. I work , i got to the restaurant , cinema , party with my friend's , i get drunk .. I live my life the right way ... Just to say , that you only need to realize too ..
I really hope you're all gonna make it out of this ''fear'' .
( and i hope you understood this post because it was hard work for me !! )
Good luck everyone !
Dan .
