Hi guys, long time no post!
had no internet for a few weeks and i seem to have been doing better lately on and off, new man in my life and so have a new circle of friends.. kinda kept me busy!
But last week i had a nasty case of ibs, which is controlled normally.. but i was ill all week. Made me feel really low and extra panicky.
Its all then a vicious circle.. i dont eat much cos i have an upset tummy, then i get acid which hurts, so i get upset tummy and need to eat to help, then it starts off again cos ive eaten!!
This is why i have panic attacks.. the only thing im anxious about and get panic for is because i might get bad ibs or be sick when im not at home.
emetaphobia kicked in when i was 15 ( now 22) and over the years its just progressed with the stress of that to give me ibs, and now i only panic about getting ill.
im a confident happy and outgoing person, until i feel a twinge in my tummy, or have been in contact with a sick person.. then i go to pot and fall apart!
what can i do to solve my fear of ibs trouble and sickness, so i can be normal?! anyone else had help for this, or know of anyone who had overcome emetaphobia??
