It sounds like since you have done the tests and are fine that it is a body symptom of your anxiety. Everyone has different symptoms that are caused by anxiety, my biggest is stomach ache and nausea. Just like any of the symptoms people can have, you need to work on the anxiety to relieve the chest ...

I feel like since this is a self-help program, it is self-customizable too. If you feel like it will not help at all, and you are already familiar with antidepressants, you will be fine to skip it. I think the rest of the weeks are important and teach life skills, but week 11 might not be necessary ...

Well, first of all it sounds like you have a lot of intense things going on in your life and it is understandable that you have been having anxiety.

If it's any comfort to anyone, I have suffered severe panic attacks for years based on every sensation, one being getting overheated. in january i went on a volunteer trip to peru (which in itself was an INCREDIBLE step for me, i cant even believe i got on a plane and went away from home at all) and...

Well, I used to get stomach flu on and off as a kid, and throw up a couple times from that. And each time was literally the scariest moment of my life, as stupid as that is. Then I went from age ten to 17 without ever vomiting. I actually think I trained my body to not physically be able to throw up...

Thanks for all your responses. I think the scariest part of it is that yes, even if you become housebound the possibility of throwing up is always with you. I can't run away from my own body. If I feel sick at all, I literally go out of my mind with terror, there is nothing I can do to stop it. The ...

Does anyone else have emetophobia? I have dealt with this phobia my whole life, and I would like to hear from others who have this. It used to absolutely run my life, and I have improved slightly but it still interferes and gives me severe anxiety. Has anyone recovered completely or imrpoved from th...
