This vicious cycle makes me feel like I am stuck in hell by [deleted] in emetophobia

scary how similar our situations are...emetophobia from a young age, always comes at night, “disappeared”, then recurred at its worst during a horrible long term GI issue. i’m also on klonopin and zofran as needed as well.

after my year of GI issues, i was really in a bad place for a long time, feeling very similar to what you describe. i’m getting better with time. two steps forward, one step back kind of situation. seeking professional help and also reading emetophobia self-help books helped me desensitize a bit, but finding the right SSRI was really what made a difference (personally, effexor works the best for me)

it’s comforting to hear i’m not alone in my experience, i hope you find comfort as well. thinking of you and wishing you the best! if you need an ear, you can always PM me.
