Hi there!
I suffered really badly with Emetophobia from the ages of 10 to 17, at my worst I would not leave my house or eat for up to a week. I couldn't fly without being sedated and a car trip of more than half an hour would send me into a tail spin. Eventually with the aid of Zoloft I managed to not so much get over my fear, but push it far far back in my mind and live a normal sucessful life. I'm now 21 and had a 24hr S.V creep up on me on Friday night, I was obviously very anxious and distressed that night and the next day. I slowly eased myself back into eating on Sunday and everything has been pretty okay until dinner last night (Tuesday). I ate half my meal and then promptly began panicking and couldn't eat anymore.
I know I no longer have the S.V it's long gone. I don't like panicking, I don't want to be afraid of food and eating I don't want to be a slave to this again. Does anyone have any tips to help me rationalize?
