Hi,
I had Emetophobia as a child, and now as a mum of two (2 and 7 months) as soon as my toddler started throwing up last month, it's back and it's worse than ever
To the point where I've hardly eaten, lost over a stone and have limited myself to dry toast and sips of water because I'm so paranoid.
I'm aware this isn't normal so to get to this point I know I need help. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow.
Never, ever did I think something like this could actually become such a big fear for me. I'm around sick often in my job, but this is completely irrational. If one of my kids become pale I literally shake.
It's stemmed from two months of constant sickness, various bugs and the whole house being sick. We've had colds, chest and ear infections, tonsilitis and chickenpox plus lots of d&v bugs all since February.
I genuinely can't believe I've got to this point but I'm actually fearful of being alone with the kids incase they're sick. (I am fine with them, I just worry constantly)
