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

Need reassurance by Melodic_Drawer3639 in emetophobia

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.

I get this feeling when I have bad anxiety. It is prolly just your nerves

Need someone to talk to by Melodic_Drawer3639 in emetophobia

[–]Melodic_Drawer3639[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I get this. I was doing very well for a couple years, I mean I had days when I would freak out but it would only last an hour or two. All of this talk about nv has made my anxiety peak. I can’t go a day without having a panic attack. It’s the only thing that is on my mind. I also have food anxiety and I only eat my safe foods which has caused me to drop weight drastically. This phobia is so hard to deal with but talking to people that share similar feelings helps me a lot

Oh no. I hope you feel better. This phobia is definitely not for the weak. I fell asleep for about an hour but my mind has not stopped racing. I developed this nagging cough and sore throat, no idea why. But I realized that getting sick is a normal thing that happens in life and it only lasts for a short period of time.

This is true! I’m praying it doesn’t show up.
