Iv been snooping around the forums and was plesantly surprised to see how many other emets there are on here. However, all of you emets seem to struggle with phobia of yourselves vomiting. Now, my phobia is of other people vomiting, although I do also have panic attacks when I vomit, which is not very often. However, I constantly panic about others being sick. I start to panic when:
travelling (public transport like buses and trains are an absolute nightmare!)
in a crowded room
people say they feel ill
people look unwell
people look upset
people have been ill lately
someone is pregnant.
in a restaraunt
And probably more situations. but its really bad, in all of these situations I start to get shaky and it takes all of my energy to calm myself down.
So far, I have only had 3 panic attacks in these situations, but thats more than enough.
I dont really know what to do or how to cope. It pretty much controls my life, because I hate travelling anywhere. It means that when my friends are having a laugh, I cant because I am worrying about people being sick !
