welcome to the forum.......i know i've gotten alot of relief and support just by finding this forum. knowing that you're not alone in this feeling should make you less anxious.

if you can find a therapist that deals with phobias that would be excellent.....i've not found one yet. my regular dr put me on antidepressants after running dozens of tests for any gastro problems......found nothing physically wrong.....and the tests weren't difficult to have either. the prozac stops my obsessive thoughts about v and n and i'm able to carry on pretty normally with my life. i know i'm not "cured" but am pretty happy with the life that i have now..........the bad days are few and far between and i seem to be able to "talk myself" through the anxiety.....

hoping you find lots of good comfort here........always seems to be someone here if you need to talk

again, welcome
