Hello all, I'm new to this site. I've suffered with emetophobia since I can remember but it has got a lot worse in the past few years. I'm 33 now. My 3 year old daughter started pre school a few weeks ago and I have just felt so anxious like I'm literally waiting for her to catch a bug. I've got myself into such a deep depression, I feel like I will never get out of it. To make it a million times worse, my daughter has started being sick this afternoon. I don't know what to do. My husband is brilliant and will look after her as much as he can but all I can think about is when (not if) I'm going to come down with it. And it breaks my heart because she wants me to cuddle her but I'm too scared to go near her (although I helped clean her up earlier so I would have caught it then if I was going to catch it).

I'm now sitting in a room on my own, a nervous wreck.

I've booked myself in for some hypnotherpy/counselling starting next week, but does anyone have any other tips to help me feel less anxious until then?

And please pray for me that I don't catch it
