    I'm not sure why, but hearing you speak about your anxiety so far made me very emotional (my eyes are still stinging writing this). I can just feel how stressed out you've been and how tough this has been for you. You're a very, very strong person mentally and I'm proud to see you overcome this. I wish the very best for you for the rest of your pregnancy! Good luck Zoe!

    As a fellow emetophobe and someone who has watched your videos for 10 years, having you speak openly and candidly about your anxiety struggles has helped me more than you know! It is great to not feel alone and to watch someone succeed in managing their anxiety. I recently took a big dip in my anxiety progress, so seeing someone have a similar dip and pick themselves back up is inspiring.

  • @encoredogs

      that happened to me sooo many times! The worst when I had to do an oral presentation. I honestly don't know how I made it through. I had to fight the gagging so hard but the second I had started with my opening line the adrenalin rescued me. But I had to sleep 14 hours after that.

    I have emetophobia too and was really debilitated in my pregnancy. The subconscious mind is so powerful that even with rational thought it can be hard to overcome the physical symptoms. I could barely walk properly, couldn’t eat, felt sick all day and was never actually sick. But the day that I made myself go out and do something (around week 17 - was lockdown before this) helped me to break the cycle and I went straight for a pub lunch and demolished it. Anxiety is crazy but there’s ways of overcoming it!

  • @daniellestorch

    Firstly, thankyou for being so open and talking about your mental health and anxiety ❤ I'm not pregnant but can still relate so much to working so hard on your anxiety and doing really well and then it feeling like it has come crashing down, really to the point of even the bare minimum is an effort. It is a scary thing to go through and I think with the support from not only close friends and family it is nice to have someone like yourself I can see the hard work you put in and that it can and will get better. My best friend has been helping me with so many options on how to help in these situations and honestly I can't thank her enough haha! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos and congratulations to you, Aflie and Ottie on the wonderful news of another baby 🥰 xx

    Your “worst case scenario” for an anxiety attack is straight up my mom when we were traveling as a family. For me it was always sad to see how she would blame herself for ruining everyone else’s vacation. I am an anxious person but have different triggers and “worse case scenarios” like not having enough food in a fridge with all the stores closed. Before bank holidays I’d go on a huge shopping spree to make sure there’s food at home.

    As someone with emetaphobia, you make me feel so seen and normal whenever you speak on it. When I started feeling anxious years ago about being sick I remember watching one of Zoe’s vlogs where she mentions her emetaphobia and it was like I had a lightbulb moment where I realised I wasn’t crazy and that other people feel this too! That being said, I am in tears watching you speak about your anxiety through this pregnancy, 1 because I just feel so deeply proud of you because I know how tough this would’ve all been and 2 because my anxiety is so high at the moment that i felt every word you were saying. I’m truly wishing you all the best for your pregnancy and I love seeing your family grow💓

    @winniefaye4715 10 месяцев назад

    I’ve never thought about it properly before, but since turning about 14 I’ve never wanted to go on holiday with my family. Once I fainted in an airport. I didn’t feel anxious until I had fainted already. I started feeling really sick and I couldn’t breathe and I fell onto my brother. I’ve never been able to go to an airport since. I’ve always have very bad problems being in public spaces with crowds, and just claustrophobia in general. But after hearing your story I’ve realised that it must have been a panic attack. Since every time something has overwhelmed me I’ve felt sick and fainted, I’ve just put it down to being Ill. Thank you for sharing this Zoe it’s really comforting to hear.

    Zoe, your openness and honesty about your very real life experiences is so refreshing to hear. Your channel has always been a space to unwind for me and still is to this day. I am a huge mental health advocate and have dealt with my own challenges throughout my life. I have pure OCD, and though be it a different condition, we have shared very similar experiences. It is comforting to listen to someone being so open and letting others know we are not alone. Thank you for being you!

    I started struggling with anxiety at around 11 and at that same time I discovered you. I was confused as of why i was always so anxious, frustrated that i would always have to leave class due to my panic attacks but finding your video about your anxiety made me understand min. (I’m a huge emtophobe as well) you made me feel like im not alone. Your video always brought me a comfort and a drive to conquer my fears. I would be experiencing a panic attack and would always think “if zoe can get through it, so can i.” And i just wanted to say how incredibly grateful i am of you, and how I’m so thankful that i found you back in 2013. Im 18 now and you are still such an inspiration for me and im so proud of you. You make me believe that my be day i will be able to carry my own children and raise them with emetophobia. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are so amazing. Never forget how impactful you are to so many people, your voice is so loud. I appreciate you more then words can describe 💗💗💗💗

    I have anxiety since I was really young too, so I can relate a lot. And my anxiety also express it through stomach and digestive sistem. But what related me the most was the similarities to the anxiety attack u had. I had a similar one during pandemic. I couldn't leave home, I couldn't eat properly cause I would eat and vomit everything till I was only throuing up the stomach juice. I lost 10kg, none of my clothes would fit. Even my undies. Hearing you tell your experience made me think back to that time and I know how hard it is, and I'm so glad and proud that you fought and is still fighting it. We are stronger than we know. Thank you so much for sharing you experience it made me feel understood, cause no one around me goes through the same as me. Hope your still strong and enjoying life. ❤

    Fellow emetophobe here - I'm not pregnant but getting to the point where it's something my husband and I are considering more seriously. I have worked so hard to get my mental health under control and feel like my anxiety is so manageable right now and i'm so scared to derail it with a pregnancy. Hearing your experience and now seeing you on the other side and thriving is really helpful to encourage me that I might be able to manage. Thanks so much, Zoe ❤

    Thank you for sharing from a fellow emetaphobe/anxiety sufferer! I had a huge dip this past year after the birth of my second baby. Just, lots of triggering... I look at it now and that's why. Its the excessive triggering that plunged me into pure panic. Then you feel like you're in a pitch black room, fumbling to find the door handle to get out. It is incredibly hard. I'm sure all your friends and family have told you but, you did SO well, it takes so much courage and determination to fight the parts of your brain that don't even have the decency to put things into words for you sometimes 😅 thank you for sharing. It makes me feel so much less alone ❤

    I developed emetophobia when I was 11 years old and it’s something I still struggle with to this day at 20. In recent years, it has intertwined with agoraphobia and has been so hard to navigate or control! I’ve always felt so alone in my phobia and like no one truly understood how I was feeling! Hearing you talk so openly about having the same fears honestly means so much and I am so proud of you! Sending all my love and support ♥️♥️♥️

      Hi, If it helps in any way - I’ve had emetophobia my whole life so far and thought I would never want to be pregnant, now 26 and I’d love to be lucky enough to get pregnant one day 🥰 the fear can ease/change as you grow up, particularly as you work on it and learn to understand it more. I still have it but definitely less than I used to and now like Zoe said it comes to a point where you know certain things will be a challenge but that they are worth doing anyway for the end result 😊wishing your daughter all the best! 💕

    Dry heaving is a sign of heightened anxiety. The hard thing is with this is the only way out is through. The more you try and avoid/prevent being sick the worse the anxiety gets. I used to have a similar phobia but not as bad, but having kids changes this. When their unwell it exposes you to it.

    Zoe, you are not alone in your feelings! Not that it makes one feel better to know others are suffering too, but there is comfort in knowing you’re not “crazy” in your anxiety journey. Whenever I do ANYTHING that is stressful for me. Unpleasant Doctor visits, the dentist, anywhere in which I will feel “trapped” like the hair salon even - I start to gag! I know I’m not going to throw up, but I will gag constantly and it is terrible! Heart racing, palpitations, the sweating! It’s so awful. I am so glad you’ve been working towards feeling better. If we try, even a little, that’s good enough! As long as we keep one foot in front of the other!💗

    Dear Zoe, I'm so grateful that you've shared with us your difficult path dealing with anxiety...It helped me to embrace and admit my post traumatic behavior, that I tried so hard to deny. And now I feel so powerful that I realized it and can work on it with a therapist. I cannot describe in words how your monologue just turned my consciousness upside down and for that I'm saying a huge THANK YOU.🙏❤
