horrible anxiety

[panzicatink]

hello everyone, im new

i have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for about 5 years now, and it runs my life!! im glad i found this site, nice to know im not alone

i also have a fear called emetophobia, the fear of vomiting. i dont know when this started happening but i know i wasnt always scared like this. im always scared about getting sick, and i avoid alot of things to ensure that i dont get sick. when i begin to have a small sypmtom that feels like im beginning to get sick i freak out. does anyone else ever feel like this??

any advice would really help!! thanks for reading all !!

Hi and welcome to the site, you will find lots of help and support heres . I can sort of relate to your problem a hate being sick although it does not panic me. I think you could try and distract yourself when these thoughts come and tell yourself that it is only a thought and it can not harm you. Sorry I can't offer more advice but I just wanted to reasure you that your not alone in this.:hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
