Re: Emetophobia
I didnt even know that there is phobia of this type until i read this.
I am thought terrifed of sickness myself every time I am in relapse. I stop eating for weeks, I am sick from the morning when i brush teeth, and then i can t eat, and have constant diarhea. This all thiough i always considered as sideeffects of anxiety. hOW DO I COPE? Somebody told me that the best solution for sickness is to eat, to frce yourself. So I do, force bananas into me, baby milk formula, juices and water.
As for the germs, to be honest with the kids i had this stage and then it turned into GAD and other fears took over. I believe its possible to overcome with some tricky solution to your mind, as it is fooling you. Like with the sickness i eat and do not vomit after though i have no taste, no ability to smell at all some days, but when i realise that i feel my stomack with at least something regardless sickness my mind starts cooling down, and appetite comes. Thoung morning sickness of brushing teeth stys much longer.
Take care
