Feeling desperate and anxious

I have posted quite a few times this week as I am Emetaphobic and my DD has been sick on and off for a week now.

I can't cope. She has been fine all day today apart from teething and a little diarrhoea but she has just been sick in her cot again. When is it going to end? I can't cope.

The doctor gave me some anti sickness pills (for me) but I am still a bag of nerves thinking they won't work.

I feel like I want to shut myself away or run away until it's over.

Not sure what I want from this post, maybe someone just to say it will all be okay, even though it really isn't at the moment.

I'm not too clued up on emetaphobia, although I know what it means. I'm happy to hand-hold for a bit though.

Do you have anyone with you who can take over/help clear up the nasty stuff so that you don't have to be in contact with it?

Hi ☺️ I think I read one of your posts yesterday . I had my daughter 11 years ago and I developed ocd and severe anxiety about her health I was convinced she was going to be ill so would worry myself stupid I made myself Ill towards the end . I was exactly like you and it's the worse feeling ever . But I promise you everything is and will be ok ❤️ all this will be a distant memory one day but 1st you have to get help other wise it will linger on and turn in to another anxiety just like mine did I still suffer with terrible anxiety right now and I think it stemmed from to when I had my daughter because I wouldn't get help . Il be in here for a while if you need to chat try and have a good nights sleep nothing bad will happen I swear to god ❤️ xxxxxxx

Thank you so much for the hand holding. I didn't get to read your message until late but it made a difference to me. My OH was here and he helps with the sick clearing up, but it is a hard phobia to understand.

I just wish she would get better, it's horrible seeing her like that and at the moment inside I am really struggling to cope.

I understand. It breaks my heart to see my babies sick, and I don't have a phobia! It must be hell for you. Flowers
