Anxiety and nausea/phobia of vomiting

[yungxrapunxl]

Does anyone else have nausea as the mains symptom of their panic attacks? Because I do and I also have a phobia of vomiting so it turns into a vicious cycle shere I can't calm down. I'm hardly coping and really need strategies to work with this because I can't eat or sleep and feel like I'm losing my mind.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum!

I'm sorry to hear about this vicious cycle of anxiety, nausea and a fear of vomiting. I've had anxiety/OCD since I was 13 (for a decade now), and my vomit phobia started in childhood. I won't go into this now, as it's late at night and it's a long story haha. I just really wanted to reply to you, and refer you to a previous forum thread you may relate to. Here it is: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums/anxiety/vomiting-phobia#qh8AD3HzvGGEbv8AAOnT_A

It would be great to hear back from you! 🙂

Best wishes,

Zeal

It's so comforting to know that there are other people going through this. It's such a difficult phobia to get through.
