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 |

Maybe your wife can get your Ativan for you. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Here's hoping you've been able to recover since you posted this earlier today.

Omg! Tell her to stop puking!!
Do you guys have kids or other friends or family who can help? I try to always be prepared with an extra waste paper basket lined with multiple multiple plastic throwaway shopping bags. I can "emete" into those, tie them up and get them out of my sight, and theres another one ready for me. Im so sorry! Im like Seinfeld, i remember the date of my last occurrence! |
