Trigger warning (I don't know how to make an actual TW.)

I have emetophobia, although it is much better, through many years of psychotherapy.

The thing is, my wife just got sick to her stomach, out in the living room, while I am hiding in the bedroom. My Ativan is in another room. I'm sort of paralyzed on the bed.

I can't talk to my therapist, because she is on medical leave (since mid-November).

I can't call my psychiatrist because I've never discussed this fear with him, and the thought of talking about it on the phone is only heightening my anxiety.

I would appreciate some support in whatever form you can share.

Thanks,
Cool
