New here

Hello,
I just found this site today. I have suffered with emetaphobia all my life (am now 35), and after a recent horrible sv that my kids had a few weeks ago I feel like I am totally losing control now. I need help.

I am reading these success stories, and a lot of recommendations to get professional help with a therapist.

Unfortunately I cannot afford it in the least bit, we are really struggling, and we do not have insurance that covers anything but routine checkups.

There aren't any books out there or anything I can find It seems like the general forums aren't for trying to overcome, just more for sharing the common fears.

Any suggestions on where to start? I want my life back.

Thanks so much in advance for any insight.

Hello bcrn....
I am new here as well and my name is Sarah. I have been suffering from emetophobia also since I was a freshman in high school (I am now 28). I have been put on anxiety medication for it, but after the years of being on it, I don't want to anymore...I don't want to keep upping my dosage.

My fiance recently had a sv* and realized that I couldn't take the anxiety anymore. I have the worst panic attacks over it. I as well cannot afford to see a psychologist, etc. However, I recently found this site that you can order a book and cd's from specifically made for emet.

I just ordered it today. I'm really excited. I want my life back more than anything, and this little self-help program has high ratings from what I hear from others. I cannot wait to try it, I'd like to get my life back to normal and not have to worry about taking anxiety medications anymore for this. I want to have kids in the future, and I don't want to have to live my life around the worry.

If you want, I can let you know how the book/cd's work for me. It's relatively inexpensive too, it's something like $47 in 3 payments, much easier to afford than a doctor bill.

I can't post links yet because I haven't posted many posts here yet (because I'm still new), but if you google "Emetophobia recovery system" and click on the first find that comes up, that is where I went.

Thank you very much. Yes, I would really love to know how it is working for you. I can't live like this anymore.
