I'm a 16 year old and I suffer from emetophobia (fear of vomiting) I could swear to you that I rather die than vomit; I haven't thrown up in about 6 years. I'm seaking for your help because I wonder if this is going to kill me.. I suffer days and even weeks w/out sleeping because I panic, and feel sick, and can't sleep, etc and still go to school all tired and can't concentrate on my life. I know there is not really a cure for phobias, so how getting over it? I sometimes wish I die because I'm scared to grow up w/ the phobia and won't find myself friends or a husband(since my family is tired of me). I hate feeling lonely and I hate people to see me looking like a weirdo...
any suggestions? I don't want to end my life here...
PS: I've gone to doctors, councelors,psychologists, etc and it doesn't work. The only words I can remember is, "If you can't help yourself, no one will." But how?...I feel desperate...for those of you who have emetophobia know exacly what I mean..
