Hello! I'm in my late 20s and trying to work through issues around social anxiety and emetophobia.
I've had emetophobia since I was very young. The social anxiety (sometimes linked to this) came on in my mid-20s after some health problems which caused bad physical anxiety symptoms and panic attacks.
Although my physical illness is under control now, I've been left with the anxiety, and my emetophobia has returned after being fairly under control in my early 20s (e.g. I now have a fear of flying in case I'm sick and can't get out, and long car journeys are also a problem).
I'd really like to speak to people with similar experiences, especially in relation to social stuff and connecting with others, as this is something that bothers me more than the phobia!
Looking forward to taking part in a forum for the first time in a long time ☺
