Hi,
Iv had emetophobia for the past 10 years, it started when i was 11 an i was sick infront of everyone on my first day at high school!
I managed to get things under control around 17-18 years, but lately, since startin my first full time job after uni, theyv come back with avengence!
The thing iv noticed aswell is that i check my body for any weird sensation or illness that i might have... i have a fear of being sick but i think a general fear of being ill aswell! It starts first thing in the morning untill i go to sleep at night..
Yday at work i felt abit dizzy (pretty sure it was anxiety/panic related as i was feeling anxious before i felt dizzy) but since then iv thought im really ill and keep going dizzy... il be ok for abit, and then go bad again.. im off work today as i thought i was ill and couldnt drive if i was dizzy!
Its a horrible feeling and im so confused and annoyed at myself for letting it happen!
Does anyone else get dizzy etc related to panic? I dont feel anxious today bt its still happening...
Thankyou, Claire x
