Hi there.

I’ve had emetophobia for a good ten years now. My dad (whom I live with) is sick with food poisoning or some sort of sickness. I can’t tell if I’m actually getting sick as well or if my anxiety is going into super drive. I feel like I’m gonna be sick, I rush to the bathroom and then when I get there I don’t feel like I’m gonna be sick anymore. My stepmom isn’t sick at all, no one else who was around him is sick. How do I calm myself down and help my brain realize that I’m okay? This is the worst panic/anxiety attack I’ve had in my life (if that’s what it is)
