Aggravated by Phobia

[misslady]

Today I went skiing with my husband and a friend of ours. The ENTIRE time I was worrying about catching a sv* or someone getting sick in the carride home. I mean, this was CONSUMING my mind to the point where I started to question whether I was nauseas or not. It just infuriates me that I can't control my mind enough to not let this thought pattern occur. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever overcome this considering it's gradually become a bigger issue over the years. I just want to be normal. I don't want to be a fearful control-freak. This is all so upsetting.

I think we all do this time to time...but was the trip fun? Dont let a little panic ruin the whole picture

this phobia is no fun at all that is for sure. i bet you everyone on this site feels like you. the thing with this phobia is that it can get you down and out for no reason out of nowhere. one minute your fine the next you "think" you feel sick so you start freaking out. i think it is kinda funny how this phobia revloves around control issues yet we all have major thought control issues lol. i mean come on sometimes i even know how ridiculous my thoughts are yet cant help but let them get to me. i think if we really set our minds to it and actually believe that one daywe will be free from this fear it will be a lot easier to cope with. one of the main problems i find is letting myself fall victim to my thoughts when i know usually its mind over matter. i am going to continue to fight this horrible beast of a phobia and trust me one day i will kick its ass lol.


try not to question yourself and instead of wondering whether or not you will ever get over this phobia. instead when you find yourself thinking about that tell yourself , its not whether you will or not just a matter of when. positive thoughts have a bigger impact that you can image. keep your head up always !

You're so right. I should think about when I will get over this. I actually think it is possible since I already have all of the major big questions out of the way. I know how this started, and I am sure I can find a solution...anything is possible.

and yes the skiing was awesome -- as soon as I started floating down the mountain, I realized "life is too good to be afraid of".
