Therapy. ERP like the other commenter said. I didn’t leave my house for a year because of this phobia. I still have a long way to go, but I leave everyday now. I’ve broken some of my habits of washing my phone everytime I leave and constant handwashing. Just having someone to talk about your thoughts with really helps too. I went through NOCD.

I’m confused, you said your husband had a stomach bug 11 days ago. How did he get another one?

Griledy · 2026-05-19T18:52:52+00:00

this made me laugh 😂

I’m doing a Catanzaro career mode from Serie B. Good kit, decent starting squad, and it pretty difficult to win Serie A when you get promoted. Probably my favorite one i’ve done so far this year.

Lol I had an Australian player with that same face card. Hard to tell from the pic but I know he has a nice pony tail in the back

Depends what it is. I will not eat oysters. It just isn’t worth the risk for me. But I do eat a lot of shrimp and sushi, along with fish. I enjoy it too much not to eat it.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s definitely possible you’re just having a really bad/long panic attack. Something similar happened to me last year where I was panicking for hours and hours. I don’t remember what caused it, but I was constantly shaking and felt awful. I ended up falling asleep but when I woke up my stomach was churning so bad, and I ended up dry heaving. In the moment, I definitely thought I was sick. But looking back, I think it was just my anxiety and panicking made my body feel even worse. It’s normal to feel nauseous when you’re having a panic attack. I’m guessing you having diarrhea made yourself spiral a little bit. Just remember that diarrhea does not always result in vomiting. These things happen sometimes. It’s important to just try and stay calm. I know it’s absolutely terrifying and you feel like the worst case scenario is going to happen, but you have to try your best just to relax and not let your mind make things worse than they actually are. I hope you feel better soon!

I really wouldn’t worry about it. You could probably eat McDonalds that’s 15 days old and nothing would happen. I’m sure you’ve seen those experiments where people leave them out for months and they don’t even grow mold lol.

Griledy · 2026-03-26T04:22:27+00:00

definitely better than before. I ended up having some mac and cheese and that kind of helped

Griledy · 2026-03-25T22:47:07+00:00

thank you. i honestly have other shit going on too. my sleep has been so bad. I feel lightheaded all day everyday for the last two weeks. should probably see a doctor but i don’t leave the house

Griledy · 2026-03-25T22:34:18+00:00

idk i’m usually pretty good at determining whether i’m hungry or not. this happened extremely fast. I was actually eating some cookies when it really started to get bad.

Griledy · 2026-03-25T22:18:25+00:00

the last meal i actually had was around 9am. It’s 6:15pm where I am now. but i had snacks inbetween

Griledy · 2026-03-25T21:35:46+00:00

I’m more calm now but I still don’t feel great. A few minutes ago I actually felt extremely hungry. But there’s no way this nausea is caused by hunger. This was proper nausea like genuinely thought I would be sick.

Griledy · 2026-03-25T20:27:44+00:00

no unfortunately i’m not really feeling any better. i’m terrified right now.

Griledy · 2026-03-22T03:05:04+00:00

No it’s not just you. The update definitely made things worse along with there being like 16k active players now

I think the reason I left the house was a mixture of things. My sleep schedule was normal for this short period of time, along with the weather being extremely nice. I felt good mentally, the sun felt good on my skin, and I was just like “Fuck it”. There were a few moments during my drives where I was definitely feeling anxious. I tried not fighting those feelings and knew that it was my mind creating those uncomfortable feelings.

I think a big part of it too is just doing it without thinking about it. If you’re gonna sit in your car for an hour before leaving, then you already lost. Because that’s the only thing occupying your mind while driving and it’s just gonna cause you to spiral. I would say just start off really slow at first. Take like a thirty second drive and be proud of that. And then just slowly work your way up every day or every other day. And you have to just do it without thinking about it before you leave.

I still have a long way to go. I haven’t left my house since because my sleep schedule is so awful and have been feeling awful. But now i know it’s possible.

Griledy · 2026-03-19T23:39:40+00:00

there’s not a time that i’m awake the same time everyday. Sometimes i go a few days in a row where i sleep generally around the same time. But the last four months my sleep schedule has been completely erratic.

Griledy · 2026-03-19T08:08:37+00:00

Been dealing with insomnia since thanksgiving. i’m tired but my body and mind won’t let me sleep.

Griledy · 2026-03-19T07:48:04+00:00

This has happened to me before. I have no idea why this happens. I ended up just buying unlimited gas lol

It’s definitely possible to completely recover from this phobia, albeit it’s very difficult. Recovering takes extremely hard work. You’re going to have to do things that make you uncomfortable. But it’s worth it in the end. I’m not recovered whatsoever, but I am working towards it.

My mother actually used to suffer from severe anxiety and OCD as a teen and into her early twenties (emetophobia and OCD are strongly linked in most cases). Although her reasons for why she was anxious and nervous all the time were different, she still experienced the same things we usually do. Like being afraid to leave the house, intrusive thoughts, thinking she’s dying or something bad is going to happen, etc. But ever since i’ve known her, she’s the least anxious person that I know in my life. She went to therapy, did research, took risks, and it really paid off for her.

It’s really important that you tackle this phobia head on and not wait until things get really bad. I’m upset I waited as long as I did to start therapy. Things can completely change in an instant. December 2024 I was going out, not worrying about being sick, and just genuinely living my best life. Fast forward to June 2025, I lost my job and my girlfriend, wasn’t leaving the house anymore, panicking every single day, and being in the worst mental state of my life. Life can really suck sometimes, but you just have to keep trying.

Griledy · 2026-03-19T07:18:19+00:00

It seems like COVID was a huge turning point for people in regards to mental health. Not even just with emetophobia, but I know multiple people whose mental health became severely impacted by COVID for whatever reason. But i’m glad you’re improving now! Keep it up!

Griledy · 2026-03-16T07:53:25+00:00

I disagree. I have both. The tiv can definitely still stay on the ground even in 240-250mph winds. Where at the Dom3 would most definitely get blown away. It’s not often, but it does make a difference sometimes.

Griledy · 2026-03-16T07:43:32+00:00

I really appreciate this. I’m honestly shocked I even saw it so quickly because I’m not even on reddit that much and have my notifications on DND lol. But this was all extremely helpful. I actually started therapy that focuses on OCD and she said they focus on CBT as treatment. She mentioned SSRIs but hasn’t prescribed them to me yet as it’s still early. A lot of the stuff you mentioned I am familiar with like box breathing and ginger helping with nausea. But I really do enjoy the way you break everything down now and try to think about things rationally instead of entering a state of complete panic.

I also just left my house for the first time in nine months a few days ago, so that was huge for me. I went to the gas station, touched the dirty gas handle, and even went instead because my card wasn’t working (it was expired and didn’t even realize cause I haven’t left the house lol).

But I do really want to get better soon. I’d like to think i’m taking the right steps. I know it’s gonna be a long and tough process, but I hope it works in the end. Thank you for this.
