You are definitely not alone. I have had the worst year ever emet-wise. I'm 31 & have had this since I was at least 7 years old. It has been a frenzy of med changes, daily panic attacks, bleaching, and at one point, not even leaving my house. It has been a bit better this week as I am back on the med that helped me the most in the first place. I'm still anxious as h#%ll but I think I am turning a corner! Do you notice that yours comes in waves? I had a sv Oct 2011 after having mono, and my best friend passed away Jan 2012... Since then, I have been a wreck. BUT, there have been times in my life (fairly long periods--6 or so years) where it was only noticeable if someone in my house was sick or something. This week I have gone about my normal routine mostly (taking my 3 yr old to preschool, going to the gym, etc), but I am still not eating out or going in big crowds.

What a horrible experience you had! Was your emet as bad before that? Do you do any therapy / medication? I have heard that CBT is really good, but called the only one in my area today, and I'm going to have to wait... It's $400/mo as I don't have mental health insurance . And only one of the therapists has ever heard of emetophobia-- none have experience with it. Sigh. Hang in there. It's nice to have somewhere to come and relate!!
