    Red face nothing else helps.........anyone tried the recovery system?

    im 30.....god 30 and i have been suffering with emet for as long as i can remember....everything in my life is affected by it. relationships, work, socialising etc etc etc the list is limitless. i dont think i have a single day where i am relaxed or at ease. im on constant guard of the dreaded outcome that i may be s***. i limit what i eat....even stop eating if i have something i am really looking forward to going to at the weekend.in my head if i havent eaten something i cant be ill so i will be able to go without anything happening.i cant travel and my family and my partners family live about 2 or 3 hours away so i am always putting off going which i hate. i have got on trains and got off before it has set off. made plans and then cancelled at the very last minute. i have excuse upon excuse as to why i cant do or wont do something. i hate it i hate not having a life that i can enjoy and socialising is impossible. i dont drink or do anything too far from home. home is my safe place. if i am ill i am ok if i am at home....well im not ok but u know what i mean. getting to work on the bus is so difficult and sometimes i have to get off and walk which results in me being late. help!!!! i feel so alone and lonely and i just wondered if anyone has tried this recovery sytstem that is advertised on here. i have literally tried everything. cbt, hypnosis, therapy etc etc. i just cant live like this anymore.

    new here so any help or advice or similarities to how i feel please message me.

    Hi, I am new here. Nothing has worked for me so far either - CBT, Prozac, therapy, EMDR. I have 2 little boys and I am terrified all the time that they will v*. My husband has a stomach virus right now and I am just so scared of getting it! I don't want to go to sleep in case I wake up sick. I think about v* all the time - it's crazy. I'm scared to travel too. Now I am getting a bit OCD as well, particularly with the hand sanitizer. I promised myself I wouldn't use it coz I knew it would be a problem in the end, but then a Dr told me that it really helped limit the spread of virus' at the Dr's office. My hand actually hurt tonight from using so much!! I am so tired of being emetophobic and always tell therapists that I just want to stop thinking about it all the time. No-one really gets it though...I feel very isolated and frightened most of the time.
