Would I benefit from medication?

I’d be here all day explaining everything but in a nutshell I have severe emetephobia which has affected me all my life but even more so recently. I am constantly on edge, feel panicky and just not enjoying life much at the moment. I can’t relax and it’s always there in my mind. I really do try to help myself, tell myself I am being silly and do things to occupy my mind but nothing I do helps. As I said, I’ve always suffered with it but it’s just getting worse. I feel quite desperate at the moment😢

Possibly. Your first port of call is to see a GP. You might benefit from CBT as well. Your doctor can arrange it, or you can do an online self-referral by simply Googling "CBT self-referral" and going from there. As with anything these days, there's a waiting list.

@RollOnWinter thank you. I actually phoned the gp not long after starting this thread and a doctor is phoning me this afternoon
