Hi Simm,

Thank you for the reply

Since I had a panic attack a couple of years ago, I have been more anxious and worried more about physical feelings of anxiety. At the time, it felt like I was going to be sick, and I couldn't eat at all, but I wasn't sick. I still stopped eating though, (for weeks), as I felt ill all the time and had no appetite. I didn't even have diarrhoea. Weird eh? Now I often think, "Am I hungry? Am I not? I don't feel hungry, so I must have a bug", etc. It's so annoying. I just want to feel normal again, rather than constantly anxious.

How is food poisoning still possible when is has been cooked at very high temperatures? I always overcook food too by cooking it for slightly longer than necessary I never eat seafood, as I don't like it, plus it has given me food poisoning once.

Yeah, that's the problem though. We, who have emetophobia, take extra care to protect ourselves, so what if I get better from the emetophobia, but because I'm not as paranoid about it as before, I get ill more often? I will never stop having good hygiene or stop washing my hands though).

Thanks again Simm
