I suffer from severe anxiety. Most of my anxiety is caused by what if thinking. I am 29 years old and married for three years. We want to have a baby, but I have a severe phobia of throwing up and I fear morning sickness. I have severe attacks mostly everyday in my stomach. I am always nauseous and I do not know how to get rid of it. I am in desperate need of help. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this fear? I could just be sitting at my desk and nothing will be bothering me and I all of a sudden will feel sick. I hate living like this. I realize now by finding this web site that I am not the only one that suffers from this. I just do not know what do do anymore..

Hi Alyssa,

Welcome. You will find lots of support and information here! Be proud of yourself for taking the first step towards recovery. As you can see, you are not alone. Many suffer from this horrible disorder.
Do you have the Program from the Midwest Center?? If you don't. please consider ordering it. It is a tremendous help. When you are suffering from an anxiety attack remember to tell yourself that 'it will pass, it always does. It is just anxiety and it cannot hurt you'. Be good to yourself. Keep us updated.

Thank you so much for answering me. I have been to the library and I checked out a book by Lucinda Bassett called from Panic to Power. I read it in 2 days. I could so relate to everything she went through. I went on line to the store and I am going to order the tapes. It seems like there is a positive reaction in everyone that uses them. I really need my life back. I want to have a family and I always think about what kind of mother I would be if I can't even take care of myself. My husband is very patient, but he gets frustrated because he does not go through this and feels helpless. I am so glad that I found this web site. This is the first time I was able to talk to others about my problem who really can relate. It is so comforting to know that I am not the only one that suffers. I just cannot believe how many people there are who do actually suffer from this. Thank you again.

What a strong person you are. Wanting to help yourself is a wonderful thing. You will be just fine. Good Luck on your road to recovery!
