Emetaphobia Progress 👏🤩

*TRIGGER use of words that may trigger those with this phobia- I use them to help myself get over it*

Hey girlies, just wanted to say if ANY of you have emetaphobia then things can definitely get better.
Around one-two years ago, I couldn’t even leave my house to even go to the local shop because I was SO petrified of being sick. It was literally debilitating and I couldn’t understand where the fear came from. I was petrified. I couldn’t even go out for a date without cancelling because I’d shake and make myself poorly from imagining scenarios that would happen involving me being or feeling sick. It was really weird to be honest.

Anyways- I’ve just been up all night with my toddler who’s got a sickness bug & I managed to pull through. I struggled a bit but I even managed to clean it up & it did get on me and I didn’t struggle with it at all.

Now- I have a dentist apt and I’m trying to avoid leaving the house because I’m scared to go out in case I pick up this bug and it kicks in when I’m out. I’m scared to catch it, too. But, I’m going to the appointment and leaving early to do some shopping beforehand to show myself I’ll be fine.

This progress is insane for me! I’m not fully where I want to be but I’m miles away from the bad place I was in before. 😊🥰
