phobia

Quote From: artist

I would love to stay in touch. I haven't known anyone with this phobia and it's a relief to hear of others with the same problem. I don't know if you are interested but praying has helped a lot. I had an opportunity to go on a trip oversees once and I was terrified. I prayed for months and when the time came I had the thought that I wanted to have fun like everyone else and to go ahead and take the risk. On the most part I had peace during that trip. To cover up my fear while flying or eating strange things I made jokes about it. I've come a long way. In my 20's I couldn't have done that!!!!! My 20's was the worse time of my life with this and as I said, I still have it, it's just I run to God and plead for help now. But I need to find a good therapist that specializes in this disorder.

I don't know the rules about sharing personal email addresses on this message board.  Tell me how to stay in touch with you and others with this dibilitating phobia.  I need the support.  Thanks.

For those who are interested, there are many emetophobia support groups on the internet. Just go to google or yahoogroups and type in emetophobia. I'm a member of several.
