So urm not a mum but this was the only place I could think of where people may be able to relate/help so sorry if this kinda thing isn't allowed, just wasn't sure where else to go :)
I have a fear of sick, it isn't a diagnosed phobia but to be honest I'm pretty sure it is at least leaning towards emetophobia. It used to be bad, then it got better and over the past yr it has got worst. I am 16 and it is currently the school holidays and I have never dreaded going back to School more. Ive always enjoyed school, socialising etc but I literally feel like I can't do it anymore. I constantly worry about being ill (I suffer from migraines of which make me feel sick, they are induced by stress/lack of sleep- basically school in a nut shell hence why it worries me so much more in term time.) I have never felt like this before but I am so so tired of getting worried over it I genuinely feel like dropping out which is ridiculous as like I said I used to enjoy school. I'm behind on work and honestly everything all seems a bit of a blur. I also talk the bus everyday of which induces even more worry!
I guess I was just wondering if anyone has experienced similar/ anything that helps. I try to hide it from people as I don't like to mention it, parents don't know etc, but I don't even want to go to parties anymore (v unlike me) as a result of the anxiety and I just want it to stop
TIA
