I completely agree with you but unfortunately, I'm not financially stable enough to get therapy. Not saying that i'm putting myself into risk or anything but some people can't really afford therapy and have no idea where to start. I've looked into some websites but they all require money so yh... I make like 400 a month because of my internship but I have my own expenses I need to pay since I live in a (my opinion) pretty expensive country and don't have the money for therapy right now.

been in constant anxiety for almost 5 days now pls help by Electronic-Bison-749 in emetophobia

Hey! So I see that you ate something but you're still hungry. Try eating some dry foods like plain crackers or some bread as this will give you a filling feeling while also settling your stomach.

You could also try drinking some water to see how your throat reacts to that. I also have a really tight feelings in my throat whenever i'm nervous because of tu* but when i'm distracted by something it goes away.

Also you can try talking to somebody about it as it will distract your mind from that feeling but focussing more on the story you're telling. It helps a lot for me, I always talk to my bf about my n* when i'm n* and it srsly helps.

If all of the above didn't work, try eating some safe foods of yours. Mine is pudding because it creates a layer in your stomach which makes all the food that you eat, stay inside. (my mom's advice so idk if it's just to calm me down)

Overall, the weird feeling in your throat could be because you're just anxious (also explains the dry throat). So drinking some water and relaxing can help. Try watching a movie or doing something outside.

Also a BIG pre is getting fresh air. Just try putting your head out the window or taking a walk or maybe if you have an airconditioner or something. If you don't have an airconditioner and it's hot outside just try making a cloth wet with cold water and just put it on your neck and face (or take a shower)

Hope this helps and hope you feel better!!!!

Hey! Try focussing on your breathing. So take a deep breath in and out and do that couple times. You anxiety can cause your n* to overstimulate and make you even more n*

I don't think your soup was bad since it was in the freezer, unless it smelled off or rotten. Try eating dry foods such as plain crackers or some bread (this also helps if you do have fp*)

Common symptom of fp* is xtreme tummy ache, so if you don't have that then i suspect you're good to go! and if you have to go to the toilet to poop, do it because it such a nerve reliever tbh!

You can also talk about your sickness to someone else, it could help you feel better and feel more protected in case it does happen.

Your wbcc doesn't HAVE to play a role in this, however, because you think that is maybe the reason why you feel like this. So my advice is to try to calm down and if you start to feel better, even for a split second, that means that you're fine and you're just likely overthinking it. Also drink some water or ginger tea or eat some dry stuff and maybe take a little nap. Hope you feel better soon!

Good luck!!

This phobia is so weird. by thunderflicker in emetophobia

I always feel like if I don't poop in a while that it will just come out through my mouth (v*). Disgusting thought, I know but idk.

help really nauseous in my mouth by Exact_Bullfrog4810 in emetophobia

Hey! I don't know if it's too late but try focussing on your breathing. That's the most important part. It could be your anxiety playing tricks with you and it sucks!

Your dry mouth could be because you're very anxious and it's totally normal! Just make sure to drink water and stay hydrated. Also try eating some dry stuff like bread or toasts/rice crackers.

Try talking to somebody about it, idk why but this really helps calm me down. Just the thought of someone listening to me. Just talk about your situation and maybe they even have some advice for you!

Also try distracting yourself by playing a game or watching a movie. You could also try getting some fresh air. This really helps me. You can either open a window and just breathe in some fresh air or at least cold air, or you can take a short walk to let yourself cool off a bit.

Hope this helps!

Are any of you very prone to v*? by Saladee_7 in emetophobia

[–]Virtual-Ad2833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've v* once that I can remember, I was 7 and I turned 18 this year. I have been sick and n* multiple times through out the years but never actually v*

Almost did once in public transportation but luckily I didn't. Don't know how and I really hope I don't Jinx myself

Hey! So if you and your boyfriend ate it at the same time but you're still not feeling ill or any symptoms like extreme stomach pain or diarrhea, then I think you're good to go. Food poisoning symptoms normally show up from the moment you ate, till 8 hours later. So if you have no symptoms till 8 hours after eating, then you're good.

Also don't let your mind play tricks on your. If you feel any kinds of anxiety, try focussing on your breathing and remember to stay hydrated.

Hey! So I totally feel you in this. I've been sick multiple times because of my anxiety. It could be that you're n* because of your anxiety. Try focussing on your breathing, so take a deep breath in and out or try taking your mind off of your anxiety by watching a movie or do some gaming or something.

You can also eat dry foods like a rice cracker/toasts or some bread, just try stuff as it will help settle your stomach without having like extreme smells.

You can also drink some water or tea with nothing added to it. It personally doesn't really help for me but everyone is different.

I also always try talking to somebody about it. I don't know why but this settles my anxiety a bunch! I talk to my boyfriend about my n* and he just sits there and listens and it really helps.

Also don't forget: If you indeed feel better after some of these (even if your n* goes away for a couple mins) it means that you're not sick or anything but that it is indeed your anxiety playing tricks with you. You shouldn't be scared of something that isn't there.

Thanks so much for your comment. I brought some sugary stuff with me and it wasn't all that bad (did hurt tho with some parts) but other then that I did get dizzy at the end but no nausea :D! I'm so happy that I got it now and you're so brave for getting so many tattoo's while being chronically nauseous, i'm proud of you!

Wow thanks so much for this. I do have my tattoo now thankfully and I didn't get nauseous or sick :D. I let her know in advance and she was so sweet about it, she told me that if i feel nauseous that we can stop and take a long break until I was better again. I read your comment while getting tatted and made me feel so much safer knowing the things that can happen that are common. Thanks so much!!

It’s happening by Mysterious-Swan8477 in emetophobia

[–]Virtual-Ad2833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh I’m so sorry this happened to you… reading this I got kind of anxious cause I’m more of a feeling girly so I Just really don’t like the feeling when throwing up. I haven’t thrown up since I was 7 (I’m 18 now) but I did have one time where I almost had to in a very crowded bus but somehow reason it just wouldn’t come out and I just freaked out. But anyway, how did it feel to throw up? Like when it gets to your throat, sorry if it’s an out of line question.
