Does anyone with emet also get panic attacks where they feel they are absolutely going to be sick? When the panic subsides, so does the nausea.
I often feel nauseous, and I think it's part of the phobia because I'm far more attuned to my body and whether my stomach is full or grumbling or whatever... everything makes me feel sick! Sometimes, however, it tips over into stomach-churning panic and I feel completely sure I'm going to be sick.
I've just left my partner - who is enrolling on to a new course at university - in the middle of London and had to turn back to come home because I was feeling so sick. I feel like the worst person in the world. :weep:
When I had food poisoning a couple of months ago I thought I would beat this, because (a) it wasn't as bad as I had remembered (I hadn't been sick for 15 years previous to this occasion) and (b) I'd faced the fear. But in a sense, it's just got worse. I'm so so so fed up with this phobia and all this anxiety. I'm meant to be going on holiday on Sunday and all I can think about is whether I'm going to be sick or feel sick or panic.
