In case you are not familiar with the term, emetophobia = fear of vomiting.
This night, I woke up abruptly twice to be sick. I completely freaked out: sent relative to buy me medication at a drugstore (at three in the morning), my thoughts keep going back to suicide (a recurring theme) because I cannot possibly deal with this my entire life. Any stomatch movement scares me and despise being hungry, I refuse to eat.
Background: I come from a family that suffers from anxiety and depression, both of which I was diagnosed with. I am medicated since I was 8. While there have been two occasions in the past where I was sick and was fine, in 2012 things went downhill. Became too thin due to refusing to eat, could not study because it wasn't "safe" and spent hours locked in my bathroom. Not to mention the medication abuse I did, chucking myself full of motion sickness pills so I would not vomit.
I am afraid this is going to happen again. How do I cope?
