My name is Claire , I'm 19 and I have been emetaphobic for as long as I can remember, and it really has taken over my life. I have also had an ongoing issue with self harming and when I was 15 I tried to commit suicide, until about a year ago I had no thoughts about suicide but they have come back.
I finally took the plunge and went to see my GP (who is a lovely and understanding doctor, which is a change) who has referred me to an organisation called 'Talking Change's which deals with all aspects of anxiety, phobias and depression, where hopefully I will receive CBT.
I found this site today as I was looking for the side effects of Fluoxetine, because I went back to the doctor today and she said it might be a good idea to try medication :(
I'm still getting to know the site, but some kind words and advice would be nice from anyone else who suffers from the above mentioned :hugs:
