Hi, this is my very first post here on this message board. I am currently 13 years old and I am suffering from emet. This all started when I was around 6 and was in swim team. A boy a year older than me had v'd in the pool. I remember it too well, but I don't want to go into disgusting detail. After that I refused to swim practice until my mom had to push me into the pool. This went on in school when the summer was out and I was in the first grade. It wasn't as bad back then, and it only lasted a year. But about 4 years later, in 5th grade, it came back. I felt very sick at school on Friday October 1st. I kept on telling myself in my head that everything was going to be o.k. I had to go through 6 hours of school, and my mom was at work so I had to go over to a friends house for a few hours. I felt horrible for every single minute of that day, and even when I went home to my parents to find out that I had a bad stomach flu. I never v'd, but I stayed home from school for about 2 weeks. It had completely f**ked my bowels up, and when I got an X-ray, I found out there was poop backed up to my chest. The reason none of it had come out was because I was trying so hard to not v. The phobia went on until the spring of that school year, when everything stopped. Anyway, this school year, my school is being remodeled and I have to go to a make-shift unused school with all the other kids. The big problem is, the school is about 30 minutes away from my house. I didn't freak out so much the year before because the old school was like a 2 minute drive from my house, and my mom had a really close friend who had lived right across the street, and would take super good care of me if I got sick. So this whole school year, I've been suffering like crazy. I miss a ton of school because I think i'm sick, i'm stressed out, or I didn't get any sleep. And when I do go to school, I usually have to get picked up by my mom, or stay in the bathroom half of every period and text her. And now, I am even getting scared of it at home. I have this thing called the "9:11" rule. If i'm not at school, I will feel horrible between 9:11 PM and 9:11 AM. I do take medicine (fluoxitine) and have seen a psychiatrist who is currently on vacation (like always). I am really scared and I have to go to school tomorrow. Can anyone help me?
