hello all! it is sooo nice to find a place where people actually have the same fear as me. I have felt like a freak for years. I got my phobia as a child when my father got sick everyday.. turned out he had a bad galbladder.. but it was crazy reading all the stories and feeling like it was so simular. i used to be a singer but had to give it up as i started getting to nervous about nausia. I am now 40 and haven't gotten sick to my stomach since i was 16,, knock on wood. but the stomach flu is going around where i am and i am in full panic mode. My partner tries to understand but its hard, they think i just need to get really sick and it will all be ok again. WRONG i have a not bad handle on it in summer as not many people get the flu then. But this time of year just kills me. I hate that i can't sing anymore, and i am on disability for a panic disorder. If i wasn't so afraid of throwing up, i could work, have savings for once in my life, sing again, feel normal... the usual stuff im sure we all face. Thank God for this site. I am looking forward to getting to know some of you. Has anyone found a good cure yet??? wouldn't it be amazing if we could stop this stupid phobia? i know i would like to be free again!
