Emtophobia has absolutely taken over me. I have had it my entire life but it has never been so bad, so glad I have found a place where other people understand. My rituals are absolutely out of control, I spend my entire life worrying about this and worrying about the people around me. Sometimes I am scared to leave my house and I have to wash my hands ten times...always. I sanitize everything and everyone looks at me like I am crazy. Any time I hear or see anything that has to do with a stomach it’s like an antenna goes up inside of me. I have worked on this a little bit with my counselor but nothing helps, it only gets me thinking about it even more. I don’t know how to go on like this; anyone who feels like me knows this is no way to live. HELP?!
