i feel like i have a phobia of throwing up.. i'm sorry if talking about this disgusts any of you!! mg:
i know no one "likes" throwing up, but i'm absolutely miserable when i'm nauseous and throwing up. no, it doesn't happen often, not even every year or anything. but the fear of it possibly happening gives me such panic and anxiety that it keeps me from getting out of the house. i fear that i'll be away from home somewhere and get nauseous and have to throw up and i won't be at home in my "safe zone" and i'll just be horribly miserable and want to freaking die. i can't explain it. yes, it's irrational and i know that it is. but when it comes time to leave the house (which is rare for me because of this and my anxiety) i start to panic and get anxious because of the fear, and then the panic makes me physically FEEL sick and then i'm like "oh i might actually throw up! cause i'm feeling sick now!" i've never thrown up from anxiety, but it's so hard to work through those feelings and make myself go wherever i'm supposed to go. i struggle with motivation and making myself do anything because i don't have any discipline, and because i just want to avoid the anxious feelings and the fear....
i don't really know if i'm asking for advice, or just if anyone has a similar fear or experience? i think it'd be helpful to know someone can relate =/ thanks guys..
