emitophobia and anxiety

I have severe emitophobia and panic attacks. They just start out of nowhere.

The other day I had one in the washroom and now I always feel scared going to the toilet because I fear I will have it again. I feel like i'm going to vomit. I am sick and tired and want to die.

I cant get any help that involves having to pay because its impossible for me to tell my problem to anyone and I don't have any money.

Whenever I have a panic attack I feel like i'm going to vomit and I feel scared that I will always have the panic attack when i'm in that situation.

I beg you please help me please I will be grateful

Pregnancy and emitophobia
by: Anonymous

OMG, I thought I was the only one who had this! I'm horribly embarrassed about it. I'm scared of vomiting AND being nauseous.

I also would love to have children one day but the thought of possibly enduring morning sickness every day for 9 months is just too much to bear.

Anyone know what the chances are of having a miscarriage if one suffers from panic attacks (brought on by nausea and vomiting)whilst being pregnant?

Phobia

I'm 14 and have had this phobia for years now. I get the panic attacks, and I have to avoid milk, sushi, going out and other things that constantly effect my life.

I would love to have a medical career - but I don't want to be vulnerable to gastro and other stomach bugs. I would love to be a mother - but I couldn't handle the morning sickness.

The worst thing is the feeling of inevitability. you know it will happen again. you just never know when it will strike.

I have this problem too. I feel sick whenever i have to go out because I get anxious, and I get so scared that I will be sick that it stops me going places.

I try to avoid eating out as it terrifies me in case i'm sick. I don't like going to school in case I am sick there or there's germs.

This is soooo horrible. I hadn't been sick 4 seven years, then last Xmas I had severe vomiting and it lasted for a whole day. It was soooooo horrible.

After then I was fine then slowly it got worse and the phobia started, I have only had it for about 9 months but it's getting worse and ruining my life and my confidence.

I also have to go through rituals in my head and say things like "please don't let me be sick" ten times before I go out.

hiaaaaaaaa I am 13 years old and I have been scared of being sick for quite a while.

This fear is wrecking my life I can not be a regular teenager, I cant go out with friends, have sleep overs, eat out, and when I do feel a bit sick stop eating for days I know this is stupid but I believe that if there is no food inside me I can't bring anything back up , but I still have panic attacks about being sick even when I haven't eaten.

I know that my thoughts are irrational but I can't help it no one understands me. About a month ago I started eating properly, and put on 5kg in 2weeks I was so pleased, and I thought my panic had just gone but it hadn't, it's slowly coming back again.

My mum found an article in the paper and I found out that I wasn't alone, and that being scared of being sick is a real phobia. I need help!!! I have had counseling and that didn't work so I don't know what 2 do I have tried everything I might get hypnotherapy.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Positive Personal Growth.

What you are going through must be horrible. Part of the problem I feel is that when you focus on the fact that you think you are going to vomit, this actually brings about the anxiety and the vomiting.

If you can instantly dismiss the thought that you are going to vomit and replace it with other words, this may help you.

Can you perhaps try saying repeatedly when the first anxious thought comes to mind "I am fit and healthy," "I am fit and healthy," and keep saying this until the anxiety passes.

Really believe these words, and visualize yourself smiling and laughing, throwing your arms up in the air in excitement, and then feel how great this is, and concentrate on this feeling as long as you can.

The sub-conscious believes everything it is told, it cannot tell a lie from the truth, so when the anxiety starts and you think you are about to vomit, it brings on the nausea, and you probably vomit, because that's what the sub-conscious has heard and believes you are going to do.

If you can make a complete change in your thought pattern, and tell the sub-conscious you are fit and healthy, it is going to believe this also.

You have to be strong and determined to change those thoughts from "I might vomit" to "I am fit and healthy", and keep saying them until they are believed, by you and that sub-conscious of yours.

Try saying "I am fit and healthy" at all times of the day, not only when you feel anxious, because the more you feed yourself these words, the quicker you will become this way.

You do have the choice of staying with your anxious thoughts or changing your thought pattern to get rid of the anxiety.

I wish you luck and I really hope you find the courage and strength to change the way you are.
