Emetophobia

[Katyy]

Hi I’m feeling very anxious at the moment and very guilty, my elderly mum is in a n e with chest pain and feeling sick, I can’t even stay with her, for fear she may be sick.The nurse wanted me to stay because she may be able to come home soon, but even if she can I can’t go bring her home .What sort of a daughter am I , I just feel terrible, don’t know what I’m going to say when they ring.At least it’s made me realise I need help.

CBT is the most effective treatment, it’s intense and hard work but it does work. If you want it on the NHS then go and see your gp, they will ask about distress and impact on your life to determine if treatment possible on NHS

OP, that sounds really stressful and I hope your mum is ok now. I have emetophobia and am currently in treatment for it- ERP and CBT. Its horrifically hard but helping so much. Go see your gp asap :)
