i was really unsure about posting this. i felt embarrassed by how emotional i was and how scattered my thoughts were but i hope this helps at least one person out there who is also struggling. you aren’t alone! thank you for always supporting me. im so grateful for each of you ❤
This has helped me so much because since I was 7 I have had a severe fear of throwing up and this has giving me some techniques I can try thank you so much for posting this x
thank you for posting this! my boyfriend struggles with this and neither of us knew this existed. i’m definitely going to look into this book and see if it helps him
Don't worry about how "scattered" or emotional this video is. It's real and that's what makes it worth watching, Jess. Your message to others who are struggling with anxiety is so important to share. Thank you for doing so! Much support and love to Sam and you! ❤
As someone who struggles with emetephobia i truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. Nobody ever talks about it and this makes me feel less alone. We’ll get through this together 💗
Do something whenever you get anxious. If you know cooking, cook something, anything, even if you wont eat. If you can break something, then break. Whenever Anxiety hits just divert with something good to do, and then try finding solution to your query which induced anxiety. Common anxiety lot of Americans have is what if there is no toilet paper(at the time when your body is stressed to poop), what if its night and there is no snack for movie, there is solutions or alternatives to every problem in developed world, just start with one. Its easier said than done, but there are a lot of people and especially unmarried mid age men who are getting these now a days, but have found a solution. Randomization and diverting thoughts are key.
As someone who struggles with anxiety and who is terrified of throwing up, I really appreciated your honesty in posting this video. Most influencers hide this side of their lives, and it means the world to me to see someone posting the truth. Thank you for sharing the hard stuff! ❤
Beautiful girl! I struggle with anxiety too! I have health anxiety and have been struggling with it for years. I would love to connect if you would ever be interested. Sending so much love to you ❤
I grew up with stomach issues and emetophobia. Test after test they couldn’t find anything wrong with me and told me it was anxiety. I never put two and two together that emetophobia and stomach issues could be related. Thank you so much for making this I feel so much less alone ❤️
I’m so happy that Jess also understands emetophobia. I feel alone when I have a funny episode of emetophobia. I suffer really badly with this as well. In school I also have to sit somewhere where I’m not scared about throwing up. Whenever someone around me is sick I have a bad panic attack and then I also start to feel sick, thank you so much for explaining how to try and conquer the fear ❤ I also do drama and I perform to over 100 people (to try and stop other fears) and I get really scared that I might throw up in front of everyone. Another thing is that whenever I don’t feel sick, I’m still scared of throwing up. I try not to think about vomit that much but sometimes my mind takes over. I found it hard watching this video as there was a lot of talk about vomit but I got through it because I ❤ u. Btw luv u! ❤❤
I have also struggled with emetophobia , I have since I was really little. I have always felt alone in it because no one understands exactly how it feels. But every time you talk about your struggles it helps me feel less alone, so thank you for being so brave❤
I'm a senior in high school and I have struggled with intense Emetophobia and stomach issues since 6th grade. It was always so discouraging to know that there was nothing treatable wrong with my stomach and it was all caused by anxiety. This video made me feel so much less alone because it's hard to explain to people how intense the fear and anxiety is and how it affects you all day every day. I have so many of the same compulsions as you and I didn't even realize that I did them until you said it. Thank you for this video and for being vulnerable with us, you have no idea how much it helps.
As someone who struggled with anxiety and depression for the last 9 years so I feel for you Jess. My heart goes to you and Sam for continued happiness, love and success. My thoughts and prayers to you guys as well 🙏
As someone who’s had emetophobia for as long as I can remember. When I was 10-12 I was having panic attacks every single night. I’ve gotten a lot better the past few years but I still get panic attacks 4-10 times a month probably. Sometimes more. I’m always taking my temperature. Sometimes I’ll get so anxious that I’ll make myself get a low grade fever which makes me freak out even more. Its really cool to have people who understand bc it’s not talked about enough. I’ve missed out on hundreds of opportunities just because I thought I was sick. All the same triggers you mentioned were exactly the same as mine. This was really nice to listen to and have someone who relates. I thank u from the bottom of my heart you’re AMAZING for talking about this and being so open. I’m praying for you. You got this 💗
Jess truly thank you so much for making this video as I really suffer with my anxiety and overthinking and recently I've been in a bad place, I am extremely emotional and I don't know what I'm feeling anymore. I also don't really tell people how I feel truly anymore as I've had my friends hate on me for being like this and call me annoying 😭 honestly you make me feel like I'm not alone and I'm always here for you Jess ❤️
i haven’t watched the video yet but i just wanted to thank you so much for posting this. i struggle with emetephobia as well and it affects my every day life. the doctor said i need exposure therapy but i’m really scared. it’s gotten to the point where i can’t even sleep in the same room as my sister because i’m scared she will throw up for no reason because i’m traumatized from seeing her throw up before. anyways i want to just thank u because it makes me feel less alone knowing it affects other people as well. edit: just watched the video and i really want to buy that book. also, just wanted to say this because i think it’s interesting, instead of always having a trash bag or looking for a trash can like u said u do, i’m the complete opposite! i want to get out of the house when i feel sick or not be around the bathroom cuz i force myself to not throw up or i want to distract myself. it’s kind of weird but just wanted to share because it is different for everyone :) have a good day jess and i hope it gets better for u and anyone else who is struggling with this
I’m kind of in the same boat. My mental health is not in a good state. I have had the worst year and it just took a toll on my mental health. I love you, Jess! All of us are here for you. I’m praying for you! Jesus is your comforter and He will NEVER fail you.
Yoga and meditation helps a lot. Try to surround yourself with positivity, try aroma therapy and relaxation exercises. I have been dealing with bad health since last September and just recently got hypoglycaemia and migraine attack. We all have our struggles so don’t feel lonely or embarrassed. You have a loving family and husband to depend on. We support you always 😊
Thank you for your honesty. There are so many people here who will stand beside you and pray for you. Everyone has struggles, thanks for letting us know where you are right now. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I have anxiety, then my nerves get the best of me, so I completely understand what you are going through, I also start to shake which then makes me start to cry, ily and so forever grateful and thankful for you always 💗 💓 💖 💛 💕 ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 💛 💕 ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 💛 💕 ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 💛
I know that I'm seeing this late and you probably won't see this but, I'm still young but a couple of years ago, I think 4. Someone got sick and I got so much anxiety. Unfortunately that's how it started. Years went by and it led to things even worse. I would get mental blocks that interfered with sports and I couldn't play. It was a really hard point in my life and how much it affected me. I struggled for years and still do. It's not affecting me as much anymore because I found ways to cope. As someone who struggles I know how you feel and I'm so glad and proud that you shared this video with all of us. Love you guys and I hope life gets easier from here on. Wish you all the best. ❤
Thank you for being so open!! I truly relate to everything you shared. IBS is such a blanket term and one that I have identified with for so long but it’s deeply rooted in anxiety. I was always so scared of waking up and throwing up which I had never shared with my family because of how random it sounds. Planes, paths to bathrooms, temperature, etc. YES! I highly recommend NeurOptimal!!! I will be opening up my own offices to share it with as many people as I can because while I may not have gotten over my fear of puking I have been able to move out of my parents house and go away to college! It has 1000% changed my life and I truly believe it can help you too if you choose.
Anxiety is apart of life and how you deal with it is ultimately up to you but what I do is I take a deep breath and slow breathe out and I will write it down. Jess I will say a prayer for you and your husband Sam while you are dealing with anxiety you're such a wonderful couple love ya both
You are AWESOME ! Sam is AWESOME ! You are SUPER Strong for voicing your feelings and opinions. Keep up the AWESOME work and continue doing what you know is best, and what is in your heart !
Thanks for being so open and honest Jess! I definitely recommend seeing a therapist about this too in addition to reading the book if you think it would help you. It’s nice to have someone to talk through things with and keep you accountable. I also have high anxiety and have just started seeing an OCD therapist. You are so inspiring and you got this!
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything" Phillippians 4:6-7. I have a Double Severe Anxiety Dsiorder do I totally understand. I also have Sever RLS which makes my anxiety higher. My anxiety Is so bad I haven't been able to get out of bed in months and I can't go to the store or school and I get sick lots. I know anxiety is scary but we will get through it together. Just pray about everything. I pray that your fear and worries go over your head and you are able to move on. I pray that your anxiety gets easier and you get medication to help. Amen. I love Jess and you are strong. You can do it ❤️ Done!! I love you guys so much 💗
this is such a good video for me. i’ve not been in the best mental state due to me turning 16 in 2 days, doctor appointments that i’m so afraid of, stressed asf and just want to sleep all day :(. i hope you’re doing okay jess ❤ y’all always make me feel better when you post
Jess, you will get better! Please quit thinking about bad thoughts, thats whats triggers your phobia. I will pray 🙏 that you will get better. You should pray too.
girlie just cry. Idk what anxiety I have but I have the biggest fear of being abandoned. Like I've never had a parent leave or anything. But I honestly have been scared that if ppl know I have anxiety the will leave ig. So I've gotten to the point where I don't know how to deal with it but trying to talk about it gives me more anxiety and I start to have panic attacks. And the one thing I do is cry. And idk why😂 but just cry my girl. Ur like an older sis to me so thank u for all the effort u put in for us💕
I’m so glad that someone was brave enough to post about this I personally know what if feels like to have emetophobia because I’ve struggled with it since a young age and I’m glad that someone was so courageous to talk about something like this because this isn’t a eas pay topic to talk about Thank You Jess
Thank you so much for being so open and venerable. It is always okay to cry, it shows strength. I am glad you are finding the help you need. Please keep us updated on how your anxiety is going in the next few months!! ❤
Honestly I love when u guys post vids about real things going on with u cuz its real authentic and shows that no matter how good ur life is, theres always gonna be an obstacle at some points regardless how good life is. It just shows that we all had our struggles and we get past them and manage them and so forth and maybe cure it but thats not always the case
I too have struggled with emetephobia. It has been a constant battle, but I thank you for sharing this. You are not alone and we will get through this together. :)
Jessica, I have struggled with high levels of anxiety my whole life. I want you to know that youre not alone and the lord knows your struggles and you have soooooo many people who love you including me!!
I have emetaphobia and it also takes over my life so much i can’t even say the word or anyone else can say it I gives me chills ur strong a lot more strong then I am ❤
Ive had anxiety and agoraphobia since i was in pre school. I use to sit in a corner by myself instead of interacting with other kids, pretty much my entire school experience. Its hard for me to even leave my bedroom. I read a article 4 years ago and was like that sounds like me! It was a huge revelation for me. Even if a little scary. Everything from troubles going to school, keeping a job, making/keeping friends, friends wanting to go out and me panicking 10 minutes in and needing to go home, going to family gatherings, even panicking thinking about the possibility of getting a drivers license. It all started to make a whole lot more sense to why these things seem easy for others but are almost impossible for me. Hardest part for me is getting others like family and friends to understand what im going through. I get it though. I barely understand it myself so its completely reasonable that someone who isn't struggling with mental health issues would have trouble understanding. I hope it gets better for you.
Girl, I see you. It used to be life controlling for me as well, making me physically sick and unable to enjoy things I was supposed to enjoy. I too made the conscious decision that I had enough of it and I started to get myself over that fear. It isn’t easy, and you won’t wake up one day without your fear but I’m sure you can get control over it for the most part. The quote I always keep in mind is “let your dreams be bigger than your fears”, it’s truly amazing how much more you’ll be able to do if you keep on telling yourself that ❤
I have don’t have the same type of anxiety but I do have very severe social anxiety to the point where I almost didn’t graduate from high school because I skipped class so much because I couldn’t bring myself to give a presentation in fear that the entire class was talking about me and making fun of me. I still struggle with it a lot today and so I understand how difficult anxiety can be and how much it controls your life. It is in a way comforting knowing that so many other people struggle with it as well. I’m so glad you’re going through the steps to help yourself:)
I have really bad emetophobia and im so sorry you struggle with that too. It literally controls my life and no one understands how I feel. My family is not really supportive and some people laugh at me when I tell them
I'm currently on hydroxyzine hydrochloride for anxiety while being in the marines. Out of no where I had a full blown anxiety attack and since then it's been everyday but you'll get thru it if you just keep pushing
i personally struggle with emetephobia and i know how much anxiety it brings me so i fully understand how you feel! i myself am trying to cope with it better and trying to get my anxiety better as well! thank you for sharing this video jess i appreciate how open you are about this.
As someone with the emetaphobia, you were saying these things of what you do in case something were to happen with you or someone around you and I do literally all of those things. And thank you for being open about it, like truly, it makes me feel way less alone. My friends and family are very supportive and understanding about it but knowing that other people have it just as bad as me makes me feel like I’m not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m gonna order that book when I have the money and I’m gonna do the journey with you this year. We’ll get through this together Jess, we got this 🤍
I really appreciate the fact that you had the courage to speak about such a sensitive matter , coz some people could be having ementophobia but never really knew what it was all about and also anxiety, I believe its also a way of showing that we're all human and we have many struggles of our own and we need like a strong support system so that we can cope with our situations and hopefully get the permanent solution to them. I pray and hope that you get better Jess and that others going through the same challenge among many others will also get better and hopefully be free from all the worries that the human mind has to put us through❤
I have extreme emetophobia myself and it's really taking over my life since last year. I had so hard anxiety last year, that i didn't eat more then pure toast for over two months and then i almost died because of the underweight and i was five days in hospital, because of that. Every day is a struggle, every bite when i eat is a pure fight, nearly any minute of my life im feeling sick, or have panic. I visit a clinic which is specialized on emetophobia next month and they wan't to give me special medication, so i can come down and focus on other things again. Im just glad, that i live in Germany, otherwise the medical bills would be too much to pay for me. This video really helped me, because i don't feel so alone anymore. To everybody with emetophobia: You are not alone, we all go through the same pain everyday! I love you all, we will win this fight! ❤
Hey Jess, Ive dealt with anxiety my self for most of my life. What safed me was Body-Awareness-Therapy. Today I can control/deal with my anxiety for 99.9% of the time. By being able to feel my self in the now/present, so I can stop my Anxiety before it takes over. I hope the best for you, Its a Battle and if nothing seems to work for you I would try out Body-Awareness-Therapy. Lots of love from Denmark
I have had anxiety from I was 3 years old. I am now 19. Until I was 13 I still wasn't talking to my teachers, friends, aunts and unkles and even grandparents. When I was 13 years old I got anxiety tablets and I have been taking them every morning. I am still struggling with talking to people. My mum is a child minder and she was minding a child from my class and I didn't talk to her for atleast 2years. I would play with her but I was always scared to talk in front of her. Turns out she has anxiety two so then after those 2years we started talking .and till this day she is my best friend and i couldnt live without her. Praying for you and your family
No matter what Jess, we will all always support you. We are all here for you. And we always will be. Hope your anxiety and Emetophobia gets better. Love you. 😘😘❤♥️
I dont usually comment but i just had too. I'm only 13 but i have intense emetophobia. I have a few friends that also have it so that helps but I get terrified to simply go to school because of everyones getting the flu and sick and other things and it really affects my day-to-day life. This video and all these comments made me feel so much less alone so thank you so much. You dont know how much this means to me.
Omg I’ve never met someone else who has a fear of vomiting. It is my biggest fear. I so feel you so much. Am so sorry your going though this. It’s horrible but u are not alone at all. ❤❤
I don’t have emetophobia but I do have trichotillomania tendencies which is a hair pulling disorder caused mainly by anxiety. I know millions of people struggle with my disorder but sometimes I just feel so alone so thanks Jess for talking about yours I know how difficult that can be.❤
Throughout the years that i have been watching you and sam has been the best years of my life. You guys always entertained me.Jess you are just a kind hearted person!And you are the sweetest soul❤!Sam you have the kindest heart and you have the funniest soul!You guys are the best i love you so much and i want to say thank you for everything!Jess keep up the amazing music and sam keep being hilarious!❤❤Done!
Wow that’s so amazing that you shared!!!! I struggle with anxiety too and while I don’t have a fear of throwing up I can totally relate to how stressful and frustrating anxiety can be!!! God’s got you girl!! 🤍
Im so sorry Jess I understand it can be a trauma , I hope you have a wonderful day and get the most out of it Just take deep breaths it's not true what your mind is thinking those thoughts will not happen but you can turn them off yell STOP , every second you feel one Praying and drink water tell Sam to give you hugs and kisses you'll feel better ❤️🦋
i had severe germaphobia when i was younger and throwing up was a huge part of that. i refused to go anywhere near my friends for a whole week if they took a day off from school because they werent feeling well (even if they didnt say whether or not they threw up). I'd quarantine myself in my room if anyone in my family was sick. As i have gotten older, ive grown out of it more. However, I still refuse to take ay medications when my stomach hurts because im afraid i will throw it back up. That happened to me quite a bit as a kid when i had the flu and it still gives me anxiety. Even though mine isnt nearly as bad as what youre going through, i understand the feeling and just know you are not alone. I wish i could say it goes away, but it never fully will, even if it happens to get better. We all look up to you as one of our biggest inspirations and this does not change that whatsoever. We love you Jess
Listen JESS!!!!!!UR awesome okay you have a platform to educate advise and spread awareness to those who are affected with an illness. I applaud you for speaking your truth by doing so you are helping one to maybe a hundred people but you are helping someone hear it from an individual who is going through what you are going through on a platform. It's different if I were to say I suffer from anxiety or whatever the situation may be to another person they may not understand but again having a platform to discuss your vulnerability to be honest sincere and show your audience that you may have times of struggling but they relate to you they will show empathy for you and concern and sympathy not pity they will show love and I just think it is awesome that your speaking about your situation be true to yourself and never ever quit.. continue your journey everything will work out you have a awesome husband and I'm sure you have a secure support group and never be ashamed or shy or embarrassed you are only human and we as humans have faults situations and health concerns so once again I applaud you you're awesome Jess..🥳🥳🥳🥳sammy
I have emetophobia too love, you’re not alone! I have anxiety which makes me sick too. Try to remember to tell yourself you’re okay and you’re going to be okay. Thank you for sharing this book, I’m going to get it and try it out❤️
this gives me chills knowing how a lot of people have anxiety in different ways. I have a very very bad fear of passing out. So just like you looking for a trash can i will make sure i know where an exit is and somewhere i can lay down. I replay what the worst thing that could happen is and then make sure i have a plan for it even before i walk inside anywhere. Anxiety is crazy how it works but also interesting at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing your emotions and showing everyone since you have such a big platform how anxiety has impacted you. You don’t understand how comforting it is to know that i’m not the only one that feels crazy when i think these things.
girl oh my gosh, i have a fear of passing out too !! i’ve had emetophobia since childhood, and when i became a professional body piercer, several people would throw up and pass out, so i developed a massive fear of fainting as well. it doesn’t help that i know people get nauseous before they pass out, therefore the emetophobia is triggered causing a huge panic attack. it’s impacting my daily life because i’m scared everything will make me pass out, and i’m dizzy all the time due to the anxiety. lord help us !! 😫 if you’re not on antidepressants i highly recommend trying them. they help me tons !!
@@jennakoozy it’s a struggle 😩 I’ve tried 6 different anti depressants and therapists and doctors and i’m on the road to recovery from the fear but it still takes over my whole entire life and definitely is exhausting but me or anyone else that’s going through it can and will get through it!
You've inspired me to open up more and I thank you for that! One thing to consider is talking to a therapist about your anxiety. I have anxiety too and it got bad enough over the last couple years due to 2 deaths in my family and COVID that I started seeing a therapist for it and it helps me a lot! I know you can get through this, we're here for you!
I'm so sorry you have to go through this, Jess! I'm praying for you. ❤️ I've had a really tough last few months with something that the doctors think might be vestibular migraines, and it made it hard for me to do anything, but I'm really hoping that we finally found some medicine that will help it. It always helps to hear other people's stories and know that I'm not the only one with health issues.
I've had emetophobia ever since I was a kid especially because I would get sick so often When I get anxious I get nauseous and when I get nauseous I get anxious Its a cycle that just sucks and the way I handle it doesn't help as I start picking my skin, basically until theres enough pain that covers the nausea I wish that I could be as brave as you to be able to want to overcome it
I just want to send lots of love, aniexty etc is tough. I suffer badly and feel lucky to be coming out the other side. Having children made my fear of being sick so much harder, luckily I have a great husband who handles most of that. I carry anti sickness tablets just in case. However I also had social anxiety which took some work to cure as I could not leave the house, thankfully I found heaps of natural ways to help, and my little dog maggie has been amazing as her bread is designed for anxiety. Anyway lots of love and well done for being brave and sharing your journey.
I have Astraphobia I'm terrified of thunder and lightning even the possibility of a storm coming sends into a spiral of closing the curtains getting my headphones etc etc!! Phobias are so hard 😬
Awwww Jess I am so sorry! After watching this I wonder if I have that Phobia too cus ever since growing up as a kid I couldn’t sleep while sick cus I was afraid of throwing up too I still struggle with that…. And I always get upset stomachs too cus of the anxiety of it… I will have to look into it, thank you!❤
Also same!! I have insomnia from my fear or throwing up. I’m always afraid that I’ll be up in the middle of the night to get sick and I definitely think it is causing my stomach issues too
I can imagine what you are going throught. I suffer from anexity since I was like 11 or 12 years old. It's has been really bad, but I get used yo It. Since 2 years ago, I finally learn to control It, and I began to live with a "lower level" of anexity. But, since some weeks ago, my anexity has rise again, and I don't know how to deal with It anymore. It's harder than I remember... I Hope that It's get better for both of us (I'm sorry if my English is vale, I'm from Spain)
It’s ok Jess, I feel you I have really bad anxiety and depression so it’s ok not to be ok sometimes thoughts go everywhere and it’s not your fault. Some friendly reminders: You have worth you are awesome and there is nothing that Sam or anyone in your life would not do for you 🥰 try to be calm and relaxed stay healthy and happy love you guys!!!
I have a fear of house fires, heights, spiders, anything that could hurt me, and plane crashes, but every fear I have is always heightened, and makes me panic.
I'm in sorrow and passing stress off on everybody, wish I was a previous version of myself. Side effects are just ethically wrong I feel. I just have to rely that time always changes things I guess.
Hi Jess, I have a fair idea what you talking about, I also have a rare phobia it's called Phagophobia. It is a fear of swallowing, in my case it is pills/tablets and yes it causes me a great deal of anxiety, sometimes it is so bad I will cause arguments and fights in my house so I can throw my pills on the floor and leave the house. The problem is I suffer with Deep Vain Thrombosis (DVT), High Cholesterol and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Which means I have to take 3 pills every morning and 2 pills every night, sleeping is a nightmare because I every night I lay in bed literally panicking because I know when I wake up I am going to have to take my pills, and then once I finally get them down, that in it's self can take an hour, then I spend all day freaking out over the thought that I am going to have to do it again in 10 - 12 hours. I live my life in a constant battle with myself terrified about taking my pills and at the same time terrified about what will happen if I don't take them, so my heart goes out to you. ❤❤❤❤
The way Ryder shut his eyes at 0:55 to feel your worries, so sweet 😌. I get weird when sick too but maybe not as severe to be fair. I just HAVE to be alone when feeling uneasy. You could put Tom Brady or the president or any popular person in the room and I'd tell them to get out respectfully it doesn't matter. I feel vulnerable but in a heightened sense that's so worrisome, it sucks. But every phase of worry will pass like they always do. Everyone has their giants to face but staying fixated on Christ is the answer. Storms will come but the calm will always prevail afterwards no matter how severe. Jam fam is always here for you when needed, regardless if we're complete strangers. People do care!
Also please be aware of the Catch 22. Don't be so concerned with utilizing techniques to try to espsace the fear of the phobia that the solutions actually are what remind you daily of the fear and keep you trapped in it. I've dealt with that as well in different areas of Anxiety before. The best analogy I can give you is how an alcoholic may become sober but because he worries about relapse all the time he's not free from the heaviness of the past because he's worried it'll come back even though hes no longer an alcoholic with a good life. The fear of going back is what causes the anxiety even though he's "free". Not that if you're a former alcoholic you shouldn't stay focused but just for the analogy purposes. Just he careful that the steps you take to conquer this phobia don't cause more stress and anxiety in your life than the phobia itself. Take precautions as needed you know yourself better than I do obviously. But you would be amazed at how we bound ourselves mentally and don't even realise it sometimes. Sometimes we can be our own worse enemies more so than what we fear. Hopefully you understood what I was trying to convey (if you even read this).
I have struggled with emetophobia since 3rd grade. I am now a sophomore in high school. Developed a ED from it. it gets better! I do 5, 6, 7 breathing and listen to music to let it not overwhelm me. I have realized that throwing up doesn't happen very often which has helped me feel more relaxed. Stomach issues and using a stool to try to poop when your stomach hurts usually works very well. Sooo many people have emetophobia you are not alone Jess.
i was really unsure about posting this. i felt embarrassed by how emotional i was and how scattered my thoughts were but i hope this helps at least one person out there who is also struggling. you aren’t alone! thank you for always supporting me. im so grateful for each of you ❤
❤️❤️
This has helped me so much because since I was 7 I have had a severe fear of throwing up and this has giving me some techniques I can try thank you so much for posting this x
thank you for posting this! my boyfriend struggles with this and neither of us knew this existed. i’m definitely going to look into this book and see if it helps him
❤❤
Don't worry about how "scattered" or emotional this video is. It's real and that's what makes it worth watching, Jess. Your message to others who are struggling with anxiety is so important to share. Thank you for doing so! Much support and love to Sam and you! ❤
As someone who struggles with emetephobia i truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. Nobody ever talks about it and this makes me feel less alone. We’ll get through this together 💗
Do something whenever you get anxious. If you know cooking, cook something, anything, even if you wont eat. If you can break something, then break. Whenever Anxiety hits just divert with something good to do, and then try finding solution to your query which induced anxiety.
Common anxiety lot of Americans have is what if there is no toilet paper(at the time when your body is stressed to poop), what if its night and there is no snack for movie, there is solutions or alternatives to every problem in developed world, just start with one. Its easier said than done, but there are a lot of people and especially unmarried mid age men who are getting these now a days, but have found a solution. Randomization and diverting thoughts are key.
Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength
As someone who struggles with anxiety and who is terrified of throwing up, I really appreciated your honesty in posting this video. Most influencers hide this side of their lives, and it means the world to me to see someone posting the truth. Thank you for sharing the hard stuff! ❤
Beautiful girl! I struggle with anxiety too! I have health anxiety and have been struggling with it for years. I would love to connect if you would ever be interested. Sending so much love to you ❤
Anxiety is hard and ik you'll get through this Jess...we are here for you
I struggle with emetophobia and i feel like sometimes people think i’m overreacting but they don’t understand. Glad you shared this.
I grew up with stomach issues and emetophobia. Test after test they couldn’t find anything wrong with me and told me it was anxiety. I never put two and two together that emetophobia and stomach issues could be related. Thank you so much for making this I feel so much less alone ❤️
I’m so happy that Jess also understands emetophobia. I feel alone when I have a funny episode of emetophobia. I suffer really badly with this as well. In school I also have to sit somewhere where I’m not scared about throwing up. Whenever someone around me is sick I have a bad panic attack and then I also start to feel sick, thank you so much for explaining how to try and conquer the fear ❤
I also do drama and I perform to over 100 people (to try and stop other fears) and I get really scared that I might throw up in front of everyone. Another thing is that whenever I don’t feel sick, I’m still scared of throwing up. I try not to think about vomit that much but sometimes my mind takes over. I found it hard watching this video as there was a lot of talk about vomit but I got through it because I ❤ u. Btw luv u! ❤❤
I have also struggled with emetophobia , I have since I was really little. I have always felt alone in it because no one understands exactly how it feels. But every time you talk about your struggles it helps me feel less alone, so thank you for being so brave❤
I'm a senior in high school and I have struggled with intense Emetophobia and stomach issues since 6th grade. It was always so discouraging to know that there was nothing treatable wrong with my stomach and it was all caused by anxiety. This video made me feel so much less alone because it's hard to explain to people how intense the fear and anxiety is and how it affects you all day every day. I have so many of the same compulsions as you and I didn't even realize that I did them until you said it. Thank you for this video and for being vulnerable with us, you have no idea how much it helps.
As someone who struggled with anxiety and depression for the last 9 years so I feel for you Jess. My heart goes to you and Sam for continued happiness, love and success. My thoughts and prayers to you guys as well 🙏
As someone who’s had emetophobia for as long as I can remember. When I was 10-12 I was having panic attacks every single night. I’ve gotten a lot better the past few years but I still get panic attacks 4-10 times a month probably. Sometimes more. I’m always taking my temperature. Sometimes I’ll get so anxious that I’ll make myself get a low grade fever which makes me freak out even more. Its really cool to have people who understand bc it’s not talked about enough. I’ve missed out on hundreds of opportunities just because I thought I was sick. All the same triggers you mentioned were exactly the same as mine. This was really nice to listen to and have someone who relates. I thank u from the bottom of my heart you’re AMAZING for talking about this and being so open. I’m praying for you. You got this 💗
People that dont have Anxiety will never know how it is fully, and understand how we are struggling. I hope it gets better Jess. Much love
Jess truly thank you so much for making this video as I really suffer with my anxiety and overthinking and recently I've been in a bad place, I am extremely emotional and I don't know what I'm feeling anymore. I also don't really tell people how I feel truly anymore as I've had my friends hate on me for being like this and call me annoying 😭 honestly you make me feel like I'm not alone and I'm always here for you Jess ❤️
You are not alone ...
Prayers for your anxiety Jess. 🧡
There Mormons though..
@@robertfinch6602 yes, but Mormons do pray.
@@ethanstudent To who?
i haven’t watched the video yet but i just wanted to thank you so much for posting this. i struggle with emetephobia as well and it affects my every day life. the doctor said i need exposure therapy but i’m really scared. it’s gotten to the point where i can’t even sleep in the same room as my sister because i’m scared she will throw up for no reason because i’m traumatized from seeing her throw up before. anyways i want to just thank u because it makes me feel less alone knowing it affects other people as well.
edit: just watched the video and i really want to buy that book. also, just wanted to say this because i think it’s interesting, instead of always having a trash bag or looking for a trash can like u said u do, i’m the complete opposite! i want to get out of the house when i feel sick or not be around the bathroom cuz i force myself to not throw up or i want to distract myself. it’s kind of weird but just wanted to share because it is different for everyone :) have a good day jess and i hope it gets better for u and anyone else who is struggling with this
I’m kind of in the same boat. My mental health is not in a good state. I have had the worst year and it just took a toll on my mental health. I love you, Jess! All of us are here for you. I’m praying for you! Jesus is your comforter and He will NEVER fail you.
Yoga and meditation helps a lot. Try to surround yourself with positivity, try aroma therapy and relaxation exercises. I have been dealing with bad health since last September and just recently got hypoglycaemia and migraine attack. We all have our struggles so don’t feel lonely or embarrassed. You have a loving family and husband to depend on. We support you always 😊
Thank you for your honesty. There are so many people here who will stand beside you and pray for you. Everyone has struggles, thanks for letting us know where you are right now. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I have been dealing with anxiety just like you. Like almost the same way and it feels great to know I’m not alone.
I have anxiety, then my nerves get the best of me, so I completely understand what you are going through, I also start to shake which then makes me start to cry, ily and so forever grateful and thankful for you always 💗 💓 💖 💛 💕 ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 💛 💕 ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 💛 💕 ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 💛
thank you for sharing this. God's got you! praying for you & for Sam!
I know that I'm seeing this late and you probably won't see this but, I'm still young but a couple of years ago, I think 4. Someone got sick and I got so much anxiety. Unfortunately that's how it started. Years went by and it led to things even worse. I would get mental blocks that interfered with sports and I couldn't play. It was a really hard point in my life and how much it affected me. I struggled for years and still do. It's not affecting me as much anymore because I found ways to cope. As someone who struggles I know how you feel and I'm so glad and proud that you shared this video with all of us. Love you guys and I hope life gets easier from here on. Wish you all the best. ❤
Lifting you up in prayer 🙏. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable.
Thank you for being so open!! I truly relate to everything you shared. IBS is such a blanket term and one that I have identified with for so long but it’s deeply rooted in anxiety. I was always so scared of waking up and throwing up which I had never shared with my family because of how random it sounds. Planes, paths to bathrooms, temperature, etc. YES! I highly recommend NeurOptimal!!! I will be opening up my own offices to share it with as many people as I can because while I may not have gotten over my fear of puking I have been able to move out of my parents house and go away to college! It has 1000% changed my life and I truly believe it can help you too if you choose.
Anxiety is apart of life and how you deal with it is ultimately up to you but what I do is I take a deep breath and slow breathe out and I will write it down. Jess I will say a prayer for you and your husband Sam while you are dealing with anxiety you're such a wonderful couple love ya both
You are AWESOME ! Sam is AWESOME ! You are SUPER Strong for voicing your feelings and opinions. Keep up the AWESOME work and continue doing what you know is best, and what is in your heart !
Thanks for being so open and honest Jess! I definitely recommend seeing a therapist about this too in addition to reading the book if you think it would help you. It’s nice to have someone to talk through things with and keep you accountable. I also have high anxiety and have just started seeing an OCD therapist. You are so inspiring and you got this!
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything" Phillippians 4:6-7. I have a Double Severe Anxiety Dsiorder do I totally understand. I also have Sever RLS which makes my anxiety higher. My anxiety Is so bad I haven't been able to get out of bed in months and I can't go to the store or school and I get sick lots. I know anxiety is scary but we will get through it together. Just pray about everything. I pray that your fear and worries go over your head and you are able to move on. I pray that your anxiety gets easier and you get medication to help. Amen. I love Jess and you are strong. You can do it ❤️ Done!! I love you guys so much 💗
this is such a good video for me. i’ve not been in the best mental state due to me turning 16 in 2 days, doctor appointments that i’m so afraid of, stressed asf and just want to sleep all day :(. i hope you’re doing okay jess ❤ y’all always make me feel better when you post
Jess, you will get better! Please quit thinking about bad thoughts, thats whats triggers your phobia. I will pray 🙏 that you will get better. You should pray too.
girlie just cry. Idk what anxiety I have but I have the biggest fear of being abandoned. Like I've never had a parent leave or anything. But I honestly have been scared that if ppl know I have anxiety the will leave ig. So I've gotten to the point where I don't know how to deal with it but trying to talk about it gives me more anxiety and I start to have panic attacks. And the one thing I do is cry. And idk why😂 but just cry my girl. Ur like an older sis to me so thank u for all the effort u put in for us💕
I feel you girl!!! I have a service dog and she is the best I'm glad you have a lovely dog too. They are the best of help.
I’m so glad that someone was brave enough to post about this I personally know what if feels like to have emetophobia because I’ve struggled with it since a young age and I’m glad that someone was so courageous to talk about something like this because this isn’t a eas pay topic to talk about Thank You Jess
I Definitely know what Your Going Thru I Get those Anxiety’s Sometimes Myself!
Thank you so much for being so open and venerable. It is always okay to cry, it shows strength. I am glad you are finding the help you need. Please keep us updated on how your anxiety is going in the next few months!! ❤
Honestly I love when u guys post vids about real things going on with u cuz its real authentic and shows that no matter how good ur life is, theres always gonna be an obstacle at some points regardless how good life is. It just shows that we all had our struggles and we get past them and manage them and so forth and maybe cure it but thats not always the case
I too have struggled with emetephobia. It has been a constant battle, but I thank you for sharing this. You are not alone and we will get through this together. :)
Jessica,
I have struggled with high levels of anxiety my whole life. I want you to know that youre not alone and the lord knows your struggles and you have soooooo many people who love you including me!!
I have emetaphobia and it also takes over my life so much i can’t even say the word or anyone else can say it I gives me chills ur strong a lot more strong then I am ❤
Ive had anxiety and agoraphobia since i was in pre school. I use to sit in a corner by myself instead of interacting with other kids, pretty much my entire school experience. Its hard for me to even leave my bedroom. I read a article 4 years ago and was like that sounds like me! It was a huge revelation for me. Even if a little scary.
Everything from troubles going to school, keeping a job, making/keeping friends, friends wanting to go out and me panicking 10 minutes in and needing to go home, going to family gatherings, even panicking thinking about the possibility of getting a drivers license. It all started to make a whole lot more sense to why these things seem easy for others but are almost impossible for me.
Hardest part for me is getting others like family and friends to understand what im going through. I get it though. I barely understand it myself so its completely reasonable that someone who isn't struggling with mental health issues would have trouble understanding.
I hope it gets better for you.
Girl, I see you. It used to be life controlling for me as well, making me physically sick and unable to enjoy things I was supposed to enjoy. I too made the conscious decision that I had enough of it and I started to get myself over that fear. It isn’t easy, and you won’t wake up one day without your fear but I’m sure you can get control over it for the most part. The quote I always keep in mind is “let your dreams be bigger than your fears”, it’s truly amazing how much more you’ll be able to do if you keep on telling yourself that ❤
I have don’t have the same type of anxiety but I do have very severe social anxiety to the point where I almost didn’t graduate from high school because I skipped class so much because I couldn’t bring myself to give a presentation in fear that the entire class was talking about me and making fun of me. I still struggle with it a lot today and so I understand how difficult anxiety can be and how much it controls your life. It is in a way comforting knowing that so many other people struggle with it as well. I’m so glad you’re going through the steps to help yourself:)
I have really bad emetophobia and im so sorry you struggle with that too. It literally controls my life and no one understands how I feel. My family is not really supportive and some people laugh at me when I tell them
I’m so sorry 😢 I promise you aren’t alone!
you are not alone, it consumes my life and I hate it!
I'm currently on hydroxyzine hydrochloride for anxiety while being in the marines. Out of no where I had a full blown anxiety attack and since then it's been everyday but you'll get thru it if you just keep pushing
I get scared that I’m going to throw up to I’m 15 years old and it makes me feel scared my my name is Sadie
i personally struggle with emetephobia and i know how much anxiety it brings me so i fully understand how you feel! i myself am trying to cope with it better and trying to get my anxiety better as well! thank you for sharing this video jess i appreciate how open you are about this.
As someone with the emetaphobia, you were saying these things of what you do in case something were to happen with you or someone around you and I do literally all of those things. And thank you for being open about it, like truly, it makes me feel way less alone. My friends and family are very supportive and understanding about it but knowing that other people have it just as bad as me makes me feel like I’m not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m gonna order that book when I have the money and I’m gonna do the journey with you this year. We’ll get through this together Jess, we got this 🤍
I really appreciate the fact that you had the courage to speak about such a sensitive matter , coz some people could be having ementophobia but never really knew what it was all about and also anxiety, I believe its also a way of showing that we're all human and we have many struggles of our own and we need like a strong support system so that we can cope with our situations and hopefully get the permanent solution to them. I pray and hope that you get better Jess and that others going through the same challenge among many others will also get better and hopefully be free from all the worries that the human mind has to put us through❤
I have extreme emetophobia myself and it's really taking over my life since last year. I had so hard anxiety last year, that i didn't eat more then pure toast for over two months and then i almost died because of the underweight and i was five days in hospital, because of that.
Every day is a struggle, every bite when i eat is a pure fight, nearly any minute of my life im feeling sick, or have panic. I visit a clinic which is specialized on emetophobia next month and they wan't to give me special medication, so i can come down and focus on other things again.
Im just glad, that i live in Germany, otherwise the medical bills would be too much to pay for me.
This video really helped me, because i don't feel so alone anymore. To everybody with emetophobia: You are not alone, we all go through the same pain everyday! I love you all, we will win this fight! ❤
Hey Jess, Ive dealt with anxiety my self for most of my life. What safed me was Body-Awareness-Therapy. Today I can control/deal with my anxiety for 99.9% of the time. By being able to feel my self in the now/present, so I can stop my Anxiety before it takes over. I hope the best for you, Its a Battle and if nothing seems to work for you I would try out Body-Awareness-Therapy. Lots of love from Denmark
I’m so sorry Jess, I also have the extreme fear of throwing up. People don’t understand the anxiety we go through. I’m here for you❤
Stay strong Jess … you got this !!!
I’m so sorry to hear Jess. I’ll be praying for you, you are so strong 💕❣️love y’all so much 💗🥰❣️
I have had anxiety from I was 3 years old. I am now 19. Until I was 13 I still wasn't talking to my teachers, friends, aunts and unkles and even grandparents. When I was 13 years old I got anxiety tablets and I have been taking them every morning. I am still struggling with talking to people. My mum is a child minder and she was minding a child from my class and I didn't talk to her for atleast 2years. I would play with her but I was always scared to talk in front of her. Turns out she has anxiety two so then after those 2years we started talking .and till this day she is my best friend and i couldnt live without her. Praying for you and your family
No matter what Jess, we will all always support you. We are all here for you. And we always will be. Hope your anxiety and Emetophobia gets better. Love you. 😘😘❤♥️
I dont usually comment but i just had too. I'm only 13 but i have intense emetophobia. I have a few friends that also have it so that helps but I get terrified to simply go to school because of everyones getting the flu and sick and other things and it really affects my day-to-day life. This video and all these comments made me feel so much less alone so thank you so much. You dont know how much this means to me.
Omg I’ve never met someone else who has a fear of vomiting. It is my biggest fear. I so feel you so much. Am so sorry your going though this. It’s horrible but u are not alone at all. ❤❤
I don’t have emetophobia but I do have trichotillomania tendencies which is a hair pulling disorder caused mainly by anxiety. I know millions of people struggle with my disorder but sometimes I just feel so alone so thanks Jess for talking about yours I know how difficult that can be.❤
Throughout the years that i have been watching you and sam has been the best years of my life. You guys always entertained me.Jess you are just a kind hearted person!And you are the sweetest soul❤!Sam you have the kindest heart and you have the funniest soul!You guys are the best i love you so much and i want to say thank you for everything!Jess keep up the amazing music and sam keep being hilarious!❤❤Done!
Thank you for being so warm and telling us your story. I really appreciate that you did it, I hope you can get better soon 💛✨
1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you”
We love you Jess your in our thoughts and prayers
Wow that’s so amazing that you shared!!!! I struggle with anxiety too and while I don’t have a fear of throwing up I can totally relate to how stressful and frustrating anxiety can be!!! God’s got you girl!! 🤍
Im so sorry Jess I understand it can be a trauma , I hope you have a wonderful day and get the most out of it Just take deep breaths it's not true what your mind is thinking those thoughts will not happen but you can turn them off yell STOP , every second you feel one Praying and drink water tell Sam to give you hugs and kisses you'll feel better ❤️🦋
I can relate to your problem my anxiety has also taken a toll on me but I say something from my favourite tv show and I feel much better
i had severe germaphobia when i was younger and throwing up was a huge part of that. i refused to go anywhere near my friends for a whole week if they took a day off from school because they werent feeling well (even if they didnt say whether or not they threw up). I'd quarantine myself in my room if anyone in my family was sick. As i have gotten older, ive grown out of it more. However, I still refuse to take ay medications when my stomach hurts because im afraid i will throw it back up. That happened to me quite a bit as a kid when i had the flu and it still gives me anxiety. Even though mine isnt nearly as bad as what youre going through, i understand the feeling and just know you are not alone. I wish i could say it goes away, but it never fully will, even if it happens to get better. We all look up to you as one of our biggest inspirations and this does not change that whatsoever. We love you Jess
Listen JESS!!!!!!UR awesome okay you have a platform to educate advise and spread awareness to those who are affected with an illness. I applaud you for speaking your truth by doing so you are helping one to maybe a hundred people but you are helping someone hear it from an individual who is going through what you are going through on a platform. It's different if I were to say I suffer from anxiety or whatever the situation may be to another person they may not understand but again having a platform to discuss your vulnerability to be honest sincere and show your audience that you may have times of struggling but they relate to you they will show empathy for you and concern and sympathy not pity they will show love and I just think it is awesome that your speaking about your situation be true to yourself and never ever quit.. continue your journey everything will work out you have a awesome husband and I'm sure you have a secure support group and never be ashamed or shy or embarrassed you are only human and we as humans have faults situations and health concerns so once again I applaud you you're awesome Jess..🥳🥳🥳🥳sammy
I have emetophobia too love, you’re not alone! I have anxiety which makes me sick too. Try to remember to tell yourself you’re okay and you’re going to be okay. Thank you for sharing this book, I’m going to get it and try it out❤️
this gives me chills knowing how a lot of people have anxiety in different ways. I have a very very bad fear of passing out. So just like you looking for a trash can i will make sure i know where an exit is and somewhere i can lay down. I replay what the worst thing that could happen is and then make sure i have a plan for it even before i walk inside anywhere. Anxiety is crazy how it works but also interesting at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing your emotions and showing everyone since you have such a big platform how anxiety has impacted you. You don’t understand how comforting it is to know that i’m not the only one that feels crazy when i think these things.
girl oh my gosh, i have a fear of passing out too !! i’ve had emetophobia since childhood, and when i became a professional body piercer, several people would throw up and pass out, so i developed a massive fear of fainting as well. it doesn’t help that i know people get nauseous before they pass out, therefore the emetophobia is triggered causing a huge panic attack. it’s impacting my daily life because i’m scared everything will make me pass out, and i’m dizzy all the time due to the anxiety. lord help us !! 😫 if you’re not on antidepressants i highly recommend trying them. they help me tons !!
@@jennakoozy it’s a struggle 😩 I’ve tried 6 different anti depressants and therapists and doctors and i’m on the road to recovery from the fear but it still takes over my whole entire life and definitely is exhausting but me or anyone else that’s going through it can and will get through it!
Jess always Dresses NICE !
we’re here for you❤ stay strong - you are loved :)
❤❤
You've inspired me to open up more and I thank you for that! One thing to consider is talking to a therapist about your anxiety. I have anxiety too and it got bad enough over the last couple years due to 2 deaths in my family and COVID that I started seeing a therapist for it and it helps me a lot! I know you can get through this, we're here for you!
I'm so sorry you have to go through this, Jess! I'm praying for you. ❤️ I've had a really tough last few months with something that the doctors think might be vestibular migraines, and it made it hard for me to do anything, but I'm really hoping that we finally found some medicine that will help it. It always helps to hear other people's stories and know that I'm not the only one with health issues.
I've had emetophobia ever since I was a kid especially because I would get sick so often
When I get anxious I get nauseous and when I get nauseous I get anxious
Its a cycle that just sucks and the way I handle it doesn't help as I start picking my skin, basically until theres enough pain that covers the nausea
I wish that I could be as brave as you to be able to want to overcome it
Hi Jess, you're not alone. Stay strong and do exposure as it really helps to calm down obsessive thoughts. You can do this! Love from Belgium.
Anxiety is hard I suffer with it badly and I’m really shy I don’t talk much at school don’t worry Jess you get through it 💕
praying for you idk what else to say I deal with the same struggles and somtimes you need to just breath love you
This video is amazing! It’s nice to know your not alone! Thanks for sharing Jess!
I also have emetephobia and also thought I was the only one and never knew how to cope with it thank you so much for the suggestions!
I just want to send lots of love, aniexty etc is tough. I suffer badly and feel lucky to be coming out the other side. Having children made my fear of being sick so much harder, luckily I have a great husband who handles most of that. I carry anti sickness tablets just in case. However I also had social anxiety which took some work to cure as I could not leave the house, thankfully I found heaps of natural ways to help, and my little dog maggie has been amazing as her bread is designed for anxiety. Anyway lots of love and well done for being brave and sharing your journey.
I can relate to this I’ve been where your at and it’s not fun. I pray that your anxiety gets better😥🙏🏻🤍
Right before I watched this video I was telling my friend how bad my anxiety has been lately. Thank you for being pure and honest ❤️
Hang in there Jess, stay strong !!
I have Astraphobia I'm terrified of thunder and lightning even the possibility of a storm coming sends into a spiral of closing the curtains getting my headphones etc etc!! Phobias are so hard 😬
Awwww Jess I am so sorry! After watching this I wonder if I have that Phobia too cus ever since growing up as a kid I couldn’t sleep while sick cus I was afraid of throwing up too I still struggle with that…. And I always get upset stomachs too cus of the anxiety of it… I will have to look into it, thank you!❤
Also same!! I have insomnia from my fear or throwing up. I’m always afraid that I’ll be up in the middle of the night to get sick and I definitely think it is causing my stomach issues too
I can imagine what you are going throught. I suffer from anexity since I was like 11 or 12 years old. It's has been really bad, but I get used yo It. Since 2 years ago, I finally learn to control It, and I began to live with a "lower level" of anexity. But, since some weeks ago, my anexity has rise again, and I don't know how to deal with It anymore. It's harder than I remember... I Hope that It's get better for both of us (I'm sorry if my English is vale, I'm from Spain)
It’s ok Jess, I feel you I have really bad anxiety and depression so it’s ok not to be ok sometimes thoughts go everywhere and it’s not your fault. Some friendly reminders: You have worth you are awesome and there is nothing that Sam or anyone in your life would not do for you 🥰 try to be calm and relaxed stay healthy and happy love you guys!!!
I have a fear of house fires, heights, spiders, anything that could hurt me, and plane crashes, but every fear I have is always heightened, and makes me panic.
Jess! Your so strong! Im so proud of you❤
I'm in sorrow and passing stress off on everybody, wish I was a previous version of myself. Side effects are just ethically wrong I feel. I just have to rely that time always changes things I guess.
i am so afraid of throwing so i had to get a book to help me out Thank you so much for making this video love you guys
Much love and support to you, Jess. Good video. Continue on your road on getting the diamond crystal play button
you are not alone, I have the same fear and it consumes my life!! Much love to you guys ❤️
Hi Jess, I have a fair idea what you talking about, I also have a rare phobia it's called Phagophobia. It is a fear of swallowing, in my case it is pills/tablets and yes it causes me a great deal of anxiety, sometimes it is so bad I will cause arguments and fights in my house so I can throw my pills on the floor and leave the house. The problem is I suffer with Deep Vain Thrombosis (DVT), High Cholesterol and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Which means I have to take 3 pills every morning and 2 pills every night, sleeping is a nightmare because I every night I lay in bed literally panicking because I know when I wake up I am going to have to take my pills, and then once I finally get them down, that in it's self can take an hour, then I spend all day freaking out over the thought that I am going to have to do it again in 10 - 12 hours. I live my life in a constant battle with myself terrified about taking my pills and at the same time terrified about what will happen if I don't take them, so my heart goes out to you. ❤❤❤❤
The way Ryder shut his eyes at 0:55 to feel your worries, so sweet 😌.
I get weird when sick too but maybe not as severe to be fair. I just HAVE to be alone when feeling uneasy. You could put Tom Brady or the president or any popular person in the room and I'd tell them to get out respectfully it doesn't matter. I feel vulnerable but in a heightened sense that's so worrisome, it sucks. But every phase of worry will pass like they always do. Everyone has their giants to face but staying fixated on Christ is the answer. Storms will come but the calm will always prevail afterwards no matter how severe. Jam fam is always here for you when needed, regardless if we're complete strangers. People do care!
Also please be aware of the Catch 22. Don't be so concerned with utilizing techniques to try to espsace the fear of the phobia that the solutions actually are what remind you daily of the fear and keep you trapped in it. I've dealt with that as well in different areas of Anxiety before. The best analogy I can give you is how an alcoholic may become sober but because he worries about relapse all the time he's not free from the heaviness of the past because he's worried it'll come back even though hes no longer an alcoholic with a good life. The fear of going back is what causes the anxiety even though he's "free". Not that if you're a former alcoholic you shouldn't stay focused but just for the analogy purposes. Just he careful that the steps you take to conquer this phobia don't cause more stress and anxiety in your life than the phobia itself. Take precautions as needed you know yourself better than I do obviously. But you would be amazed at how we bound ourselves mentally and don't even realise it sometimes. Sometimes we can be our own worse enemies more so than what we fear. Hopefully you understood what I was trying to convey (if you even read this).
I have struggled with emetophobia since 3rd grade. I am now a sophomore in high school. Developed a ED from it. it gets better! I do 5, 6, 7 breathing and listen to music to let it not overwhelm me. I have realized that throwing up doesn't happen very often which has helped me feel more relaxed. Stomach issues and using a stool to try to poop when your stomach hurts usually works very well. Sooo many people have emetophobia you are not alone Jess.
Always appreciate when people are honest and real
Prayers for Jess 🙏
I’m proud of you for facing your fears keep up the good work 😊
Done, love you guys so much. Jess Thankyou so much for being so open, I really struggle with emetophobia too I know exactly how it feels ❤️❤️
