I usually feel nauseated and not well and think please don't toss pls don't and so i know what it's like. it seems very silly to me but i know it's rational in the world of phobias.

Hello Gill,

I hope this doesn't go against the terms of this site, but i found this website to be really really helpful for overcoming anxiety and phobias. They are a non-profit organization so hopefully this link won't be deleted.

www.gnosticweb.com

The techniques given here are truly amazing. I've tried the Linden Method and other methods, but this site is the best i've seen so far.

Regards,

Dave.

Hi there Dave

Just browsing and came upon your post. Did you find the Linden method of any help, have been considering purchasing it. Are you more into the spiritual dimension of healing i.e Reiki, auric magnetic healing etc etc with the use of spirit guides, universal energy and such and the power within ourselves???? Just curious that's all, would love to hear your opinions on this, you can pm me if you like.

Cheers

Sandy

When I get anxious I always worry that I'm going to be sick so I need to know where the toilets are everywhere I go. I always worry about what I would do if I was sick in front of other people so always need to know that I've got an escape route just incase.

I'd be grateful to get some advice if you feel the same as me and ca give me tips on how to stop worrying about this as much.

Thanks

Gill

I'm 20 years old and for years I've had an extreme phobia of becoming ill, especially being sick and passing out. It's taken over my life and as a result I've developed obsessive compulsive disorder and avoid certain foods and situations. I also experience panic attacks. I'm over 100 miles away from home because I'm at university.
It's comforting to know that I am not the only person with such a phobia. I hope to get suitable treatment for my phobia (at the moment I am taking fluoxetine (Prozac) to control my OCD) but I don't know where to start. Being a student I cannot afford to pay for treatment so does anybody know how I could get treatment on the NHS??
Your help would be fantastic...

Best Wishes
Amy

Hi Amy

I suffer from this phobia so I understand what you're going through.

Are you registered with a doctor at Uni? I know when I was at University (many moons ago!) there was lots of support/counselling services available for students and I imagine the facilities on offer are much better these days.

I would suggest popping along and having a chat with someone on campus and seeing what help is available.

Good luck

My fear of being sick has gone worse over the years, and its worse this time of year when that sickness bug is out, i dreaded it this morning when one of the mums came in and said her daughter had it, my mind is going mad i don't know weather to keep them off school or pray to god they don't catch it and now i watch there actions and make sure they feel o.k every 2 seconds.
At this moment i am so scared to catch it.

This is my e-mail address if anybody wants to talk about this thing that is controlling us ( fourleafclover1983@hotmail.co.uk ).

Is it so much the fear of throwing up or the fear of illness (sickness) for everyone?

[cath83]

it is the fear of throwing up and how many times after and will it ever stop.
