In school, I had to write a research paper for a final assignment. I could choose any topic i wanted and so i chose my phobia. I chose emetophobia because i have a lot of background knowledge and the possibility of learning more about it. I wrote my paper about a week ago and ever since then i feel like i am more aware of my surroundings. Falling back into old habits and really worrying about becoming ill. Could it be a huge possibility that me writing this paper made my anxiety worse than before? Has anyone else experienced something like this?
