My names Danielle as every since a young girl I have been afraid of vomiting so severely I was then diagnosed with anorexia nervosa from the age of 11 which as a young girl was terrifying I can't put weight out I also a year later was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder which followed a schizophrenia diagnosis and ill explain how this happened. When I was just 2 years old I had a very bad stomach bug not that I can remember it but my subconscious stored that so now my phobia is beyond belief I get anxiety attacks so bad I self harm to stop the anxiety I have on occasions put chemicals in my eyes to stop it any sort of pain I can inflict I will and the reason for this is my main anxiety symptom is nausea extreme nausea so I then panic so much that I'm going to be sick I now inject 2 different types of anti sickness injections one called ondansateon aka zofran and one called cyclizine which do work but as anxiety is in the mind if I don't believe they work then the nausea won't go even though I won't throw up I panic just as bad everytime I have now become house bound because everytime I go out I get an anxiety attack and so on I am 24 years old and my life is ruined by this fear I am even under going a surgery they can do with stops you being able to vomit but that can't be done for quite some time I am looking for me people who are like me some one I can talk to it's so frustrating and it makes me feel

I panic about being sick! I'm 20 and if I'm feeling sick I will cry and my heart will go crazy, I'm not sure what's made me like it, all I can remember is having tummy bugs a lot as a kid and not liking them. If I know or hear of Someone who has a bug I won't go anywhere near them. If one kid threw up at school I would panic like mad and end up going home incase I caught it!
