No-one Understands

Hi, I'm not Australian but I was browsing through here and wanted to tell you I totally identify with you. My phobia is slowly getting better (thank god) and was always more about the eating part of things and "trying not to spew" - like you! I couldn't go anywhere with people around cos I was so scared I'd throw up. Restaurants are still my worst nightmare and I hate not having an escape route like a door leading outside or nearby toilets. I also get anxiety attacks where I feel like I can't go on and just want to escape my thoughts and feelings, has anyone else had that?

Like you, my mum didn't, and still doesn't, understand. She thinks I need to ignore it and it'll go away but I found that finding stuff out about the condition helped me realise other people felt this way and it wasn't just me, so I felt less like a freak reading about other people experiencing my symptoms.

Good luck to you, and feel free to contact me anytime if you want a chat Smile

it's true no one understands ignorant people who have always enjoyed themselves and had everything fall into their lap really annoy me. Forget these idiots you have to help yourself bcos you are the only one that can help yourself and you can do it. Anyway good to hear your getting better bcos I've never felt pain like this before in my life.
