Re: Phobia Getting Worse
i totally relate to everything you've written. i have always kept my anxiety attacks mostly hidden from everyone.......i didn't know that how i felt had a name until a few years ago when i found this site.....since coming here i have told my mother, sisters and husband and a few close friends. i don't really like to talk about it because it seems tomake me more anxious.....but they know when to leave me alone with my anxiety.
i've never been for therapy for emet......but went years ago because i became a little agoraphobic and was really interfering with my life and work. they put me on prozac.....it's been my life saver. my panics are few and far between........and my thoughts are not so obsessive about vomit. so maybe you could just talk to your regular doctor and tell him about the strong anxiety and panic and see what he says.
i know that for some people coming to this forum sparks their emet anxiety.....i seem to feel quite the opposite......i havent panic posted but i do find comfort in reading others successes and trying to offer help to those who are in a scary place......
just keep pushing yourself......don't let the emet hold you back......you've gone 10 years without being ill.....so why not 10 more years?? or even longer??
find good distractions when you do panic.......something to push the thoughts away.
sounds like you've got a good handle on it already.......keep going
how i feel about emet
