Stephanie - your feelings are absolutely normal. First of all, the anxiety level in phobics often does "ebb and flow" usually based on how much anxiety there is in your "household" in general, and also your life in general.


As far as vomiting goes, it really is a big fat nothing in and of itself. It's how sick you feel that's really nasty (the nausea, achesand other symptoms). The thing is, we all have to remember that our problem is really not vomiting - it's anxiety. The anxiety is what is causing us to feel horrible all the time, terrified all the time, and catastrophizing often about something that regular people do all the time and it's nothing to them. So if you can work on getting rid of the anxiety, then the vomiting won't be a big deal if or when it ever happens.
