I am an emetophobe and have written about it on here many times. I am currently doing the Thrive programme, having hypnotherapy and CBT but just can't beat it! I have tried so many therapies and spent thousands, it's bloody ridiculous!
So my question:
How the fuck to you emetophobic parents cope when your kids go to school??
My DS starts school in a couple of weeks, and I'm in a constant state of anxiety about it! I can't enjoy the experience as I am so worried about all the sickness bugs he will pick up!
Logically I know he could get a bug from anywhere, and I know I have dealt with them in the past, but the anticipatory anxiety is just killing me!
Do they get vomit bugs lots at school? How do you cope when they do?
I'm a mess and have seriously considered leaving because I don't want pass this onto him, and I also don't want to feel like this anymore!
So as not to drip feed, he has been going to nursery, but they would always let me know if there was any sickness around and I just wouldn't send him in (not helpful behaviour I know!)
I know I need to get this sorted and am trying so please don't make me feel worse about this than I already do!
