Help, fear of vomiting (emetophobia)?
I've had a fear of vomiting for the past 3 4 years. I'm 11 and I have not vomited in a while, the last time I remember was maybe kindergarten or preschool, possible 1st or 2nd grade. Around the wintertime people start getting sick. I have no problem with colds or other sicknesses as long as it does not involve vomiting. Since I have not thrown up in a while I have no idea what it feels like. Last year I was very sick in March with either food poisoning or a virus for a while, I never threw up but I had terrible pain and nausea and ended up in the emergency room because the doctor thought it was appendicitis it wasn't . But how can I keep my fear of vomiting under control, because it has majorly spiked since so many people have viruses.

Do I have emetophobia?
Emetophobia is the fear of throwing up or vomiting. Everytime someone around me gets a stomach virus, I become obsessive about washing my hands and often stay home and do anything to avoid becoming sick. I usually end up feeling sick to my stomach though, just from worrying so much that I will throw up. I never liked throwing up as a child, but I'm a teenager now and everytime I even think about it, I worry so much and make myself nauseous. I think what makes me the most scared of it is that I have no idea when it's coming. This week it's been spreading around and I keep thinking every night that I'll throw up and it makes me feel sick. I have a lot of anxiety about it, but I don't know how to make this stop. It literally is in the back of my mind everywhere I go. Please help, this is seriously taking over I'm only scared of getting a stomach virus, I'm not really anxious when people around me have colds, or any other sickness really. I'm mainly just terrified of feeling like I'm going to throw up.

What can I do about my emetophobia? It's taking over my life.?
I've always had a huge, irrational fear of being sick since I was a small kid. Now it's pretty much taking over my life I get anxiety and panic attacks because I might feel sick or something, or when I'm laying in bed at night I get all anxious because I'm afraid I might be sick or something. It's gone so far that I'm scared to go out in public and I'm constantly on edge when out. Because I'm afraid I might be sick. There is a very small chance I can get any professional help, it's verging impossible. Do you guys have any advice on what I could do?

How can I get over emetophobia and build my body back up?
Usually when I ask questions, I don't get very many answers, but I hope somebody can help me, this time...I suffer from health anxiety, and pretty severe emetophobia. It's getting better, but at one point, it was so bad that I barely ate. For around two months, I would only eat some apple sauce, or some bread or something. Ever since then, which was the summer, I have tried to get over the phobia and eat, but I've lost a lot of weight, and I am very frail, and eating is difficult, because it either makes me bloat or feel nauseated, which is horrible for an emetophobe and makes it even harder to eat, for fear of getting sick. I make it a point to eat at least twice a day, these days, even if it feels bad to eat. But I'm still not eating much. Since June, I went from my standard weight of about 105lbs 110lbs down to 94lbs at the lowest. Right now, I'm around 97lbs, and I'd like to get back up to the tripple digits, but it's hard. And I know it's bad for me, because if I don't eat, I get woozy, and feel sick, which affects my daily life, too. It's similar to an eating disorder. I've noticed that some days, I binge a bit more, but the following days, I feel really bloated and barely eat, which turns into a week of messed up eating, because I'll feel really off bloated sick dizzy. I DO know that it's my lack of eating that's making me feel this way, and not some underlying condition, because I have health anxiety, and I went to get tested for diabetes, and for other conditions. Besides, it's kind of obvious that you need food to live, feel okay, and function. I take a multivitamin to make up for lost nutrients, but multivitamins don't provide the necessary fats, sugars, and fiber that food does... What tips can you give to help me build myself back up to feeling normal? I've searched the web, and there's tons of weight loss tips, but not very much on eating healthy to regain a healthy weight after losing too much. I've just been eating AT ALL, because eating something is better than nothing. But what should I be doing, and what should I be eating? ANY help, or tips, would be wonderful

I have a question about emetophobia?(fear of vomiting or vomit)?
I would love to know why people with emetophobia have the worst nausea that accompanies anxiety, and why we are always sick with something that makes us nauseated, such as the flu? And how do you other emetophobics out there take anti depressants and get past the side effect stages like nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness?I have been sick with some unknown illness that no doctor can figure out for about eight months, and my main symptom is nausea all day almost everyday. I have been nauseated for so long that i have now developed anxiety about being sick all the time. When i have good days i dont think about it at all, but when im sick i literally cant handle it anymore. Ive had emetophobia for almost 10 years, so why would a person with emetophobia be as sick as i am? Is it irony? No stupid answers please...Im a 28 yo female btw

Emetophobia, any cures?
hey i have a big fear of throwing up, known as emetophobia. Emetophobia it's differend than other phobias because you cant escape it, or hide from it. You can't hide from your body. It's not like i find it disgusting, we all do and i know that. my dad is telling me all the time to stop being a child, it's no big deal...he really doesn't understand and sometimes is making fun of me. and it's not only about me, if i see or hear someone throw up i get a panic attack, i run away as far as i can, i cover my ears, i run away if i see vomit on the street.once i accidently ate a chocolate bar whos date of expiry passed. when i relised that, i started to cry and panic. i don't go to school trips because i'm scared of buses. i also can't travel without my pills which help to stop the nausia . i'm also scared not to get sick in school or at someone elses house.i really want to get rid of it cause i want to be able to go out without being scared, i want to have kids one day and kids do vomit a lot , i want to eat anything without thinking will i be sick or not?...should i go to see the therapist? do you maybe know how to get rid of this?Thankes
