You're right though, I always used to put other people before myself but it looks like I'm going to have to make myself the number 1 priority, since no one else cares or listens to what I have to say anymore.
I don't feel like living anymore, and the thought is getting more and more stronger each day. I've never been happy since I was in primary school, so that was at least 9 years ago now. I just don't know what I can do... I'm always feeling nauseous as well which others think is me just making it up.
I'm having another CBT session tomorrow.. Should I mention my suicidal thoughts? I can easily talk about it with anyone, although it upsets me.
YES, you need to share with your therapist about your suicidal thoughts...they are nothing to play around with. Please, I hope you tell them so they can help you or guide you in the right direction.
This phobia is shitty and nobody understands.....they think it is "all in our heads" , which is true, but it does and can take hold of our lives.
There are people who really want help, but cannot afford to pay for the kind of help that is suggested for this type of phobia. I myself would love to be free from my fear of being sick....it does keep me from doing a lot of things I would do, if I did not feel so scared all the time.
I hope you get some help and feel better soon
Peace~
