I would like to first of all thank all the welcomes i have gotten[img]smileys/smilies_39.gif[/img]..i do have a question for all the members..speaking from personal experience my fear is the time when i wonder if i will be sick and when it will happen..once it happens i am pretty much ok..its the not knowing that triggers my fear..are any of you like that?..i also read that most people with this phobia arent actually sick they manage to avoid any situation that may cause it..does this mean i do not suffer from it?..it said the average person is sick once or twice a year and that people who suffer from emetophobia are rarely sick..maybe once every several years. i am not that lucky..im thinking maybe these are people who dont have kids..unlike me..lol. What do you all think?..Last but not least i would like to once again thank you all for allowing me to join such a wonderful site for myself knowing there are plenty of others just like me makes me feel like i have just a bit more control over my fear..before knowing i felt alone and out of control..thank you[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]
