    Default Anything else.

    Hello,

    So I was wondering whether any of you with emetophobia have it coupled with a "brain cootie" or disorder(s)? For example, I not only suffer from emetophobia, but an anxiety disorder, manic depression (bipolar disorder) and an eating disorder (BDD).

    I have many different specific phobias and am gernerally very anxious. I am also very socially awkward around people my age, i am much more comfortable around adults than other teens and I deal with SI.

    Ah well, I can relate. As for my anxiety - coming from a superstitious family, I was told at an early age that it was no more than having a weak stomach and [even] dysphagia that had me all riled up. :I

    Depression, Panic Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder (which I think the emet is part of) and my CBT therapist seems to think compulsive overeating, too (I comfort eat.).

    I have OCD BIG TIME. But, I think anyone with emet is obsessive compulsive. The stress and anxiety feels the same when I fear v*ing or death. It is the same, clammy, heart pounding fear.
