Hi everyone,
My name is Ellie, and I came across this website in a complete state of despiration I guess!
Im 24 and for the past 15 years I have suffered from emetaphobia. Its only been in the past year or so that things have really got out of hand, and now I am finding it very difficult to live any normal kind of existance.
As I type this I am virtually housebound, I say virtually as I can just about make it into the garden. This is a relatively new thing, I used to be able to go out accompanied up until about 2 weeks ago.
Panic attacks are becoming what seems like an hourly occurance. I feel ill all the time, constantly feeling that I am going to be sick. I cant work out if this is bringing on the panic attacks, or whether this is caused by them.
I just really dont know what to do anymore. I have been to my doctor, who wasnt very much help at all. He just prescribed anti depresants.
I hate the night time, I await each night with dread, as I wonder what will happen to me. I just really cant go on this way much longer.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ellie
