I bet it was confusing. Let me try to explain better, using my own mind as an example:

Let's think about someone with depression: When the person still doesn't know he/she has depression, he/she might fight more over the urge for crying and feeling down, because there's no obvious reason he/she is feeling down. After he/she finds out, however, he/she sees him/herself in the right of crying and feeling down, because hell, it's depression.

So, I want to know. After you found out that what you have is emetophobia, did you freak out more? Did you find yourself asking for help more than you used to when you thought you were the only one?

Not accusing anyone, I'm really just wondering because of some recent suspicions (about me, let's be clear about that).
