I cut out meals to reduce the risk of vomiting or limit how many times I will if I do. The a mount of weight I've lost its scary. I have also stopped flying. I used to love to fly. Motion sickness has consumed me. This phobia has turned me into a homebody. I need help.

I'm sorry fear is consuming your life like this! I have not followed the links others have suggested, so I may be repeating the same info. We can't diagnose, but it certainly sounds like an anxiety disorder. You say you need help, and I agree. No one should live such a limiting life. Are you able to get some? There are many avenues to seek assistance with this issue. Now that I'm typing this, I have forgotten if you have said how old you are. School-age help options differ from other options, as does whether you have health insurance. Plus you can get help online these days.
Please write more, and I and others are very likely to add input.
