a cycle


people don't care about phobias they just say "stop being a wimp and get over it" but I can't "get over it" coming from someone with emetophobia I tried everything, from exposure therapy to physiotherapy I force myself to watch it, read about it yet solution after solution won't work I'm trapped in a cycle of fear
