    Default Who is like this?

    This fear of N and V and having an attack is constantly on my mind. If I have to be somehwere (work, a social gathering) I will always eat light or not at all bcuz I fear I mite have an "attack" or any of those symtoms that cud cause an attack (bloating, sense of fullness, hard to swallow, etc). However, a slong as I keep myself busy in my work, or reading, or doing anyhting that occupies my mind - I forget about the fear. It's like the hunger feeling is like a Pavlov's Bell. As soon as I realize I am hungry, I start fearing N* and V* even though I never V*. Another trigger for me could be a bowel movement - if for some reason I can't get to a bathroom - the panic can happen. Also I get the fear if I haven't had a bowel movement and have to be somehwere - work or a social gathering. I think one of biggest fears is being in a social situation and not being able to use the bathroom bcuz I think it cud lead me to being S* or having an attack. Maybe I'm just one really F* up guy.
