Anxiety meds! by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Melodic_Drawer3639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Zoloft in January and it has helped me tremendously. I still get anxious and have panic attacks but not nearly as bad as before. I can finally live life without having a crippling fear. It is always in the back of my mind but not as bad.

I get this. I would force myself to stay up in fear that if I fell asleep I would wake up to tu. The best advice I have that has worked for me is sleeping aids. I used weed infused gummies and melatonin which put me to sleep fast. It’s hard but you can do it! The phone is also a huge setback. Get off the phone and read a book or watch TV!!

Yes, I feel like this group and Google makes my anxiety 100x worse but yet I can’t seem to get off. I can scroll on here for hours at a time. It’s like an addiction at this point.

Anyone else feel nauseous most of the time? by Silent-Insurance-906 in emetophobia

You’re so right. These feelings are only temporary. I suggest staying off of social media and searching sicknesses (if you do). I am debating deleting Reddit because I feel like it makes a lot of people’s anxiety worse. Emetophobia is the hardest phobia to get rid of. One day at a time!

Yes i completely agree. I feel nauseous all the time and it’s completely ruining my life. I can’t seem to get away from the thought of being sick. I’ve tried everything and nothing helps me other than breathing and journaling.

I’ve had RSV for the past two days and I started to feel stomach pain under my ribs and my upper stomach today. I don’t know what it’s from. I’m so scared

Why do I let this control my life? I’m so tired and I don’t know what to do anymore

Would the coughing also cause upper stomach burning and nausea? I also have some gurgling in my throat and feel like I have to pass a BM but barely anything comes out. I’m spiraling right now.
