Terrified of vomiting

[HasuHana]

I'm terrified of vomiting. Last week or so, I woke up in the middle of the night and threw up for the first time in 2-3 years. That experience has just made my fear worse. But the worst part is that now I have extreme anxiety whenever I'm going to sleep to the point where it's making me feel sick. It's an endless cycle. I just need some advice on what to do. I can't get any sleep and I'll be spending all day worrying about going to sleep when I should be focusing on school and other things. I'm failing four classes and we've barely just started the school year. I don't know what to do

Hi there I also have a little girl who is 9 with the fear of being sick. I know how much she worries and I can only sympathise. I would like to promise you that being sick will not cause you any harm, it is purely your body getting rid of something it no longer needs which you should view as a good thing. I recommend you look up mindfulness and try to get into that, it focuses on the present moment using ancient Buddhist practices and meditation. It will really help you focus on what is important I.e your school work. Maybe visit your doctor and ask for some CBT counselling it's very good. I wish you all the luck in the world, be strong and don't let this worry beat you X Mel
