Help with emetophobia?
ok basically its a fear of being sick or others being sick around me.I have had this for a year and a half now and i just wanna kick it in the nuts. Like i have friends who get f ed of there heads every weekend and chuck up their guts and it doesn't phase them at all. But i just have to hear someone say, oh i feel sick or i feel ill and i have a anxiety attack. When i go out or to school i have to know where the exits are and have to be sitting near a door so if i need to i can get out quick to be sick.

Ive heard stuff like holiding your breath or something like that is good. then if i know how to stop myself then its all good and i don't have to worry.Thanks chris

I have bad emetophobia. Help?
I'm uhhhhh ,,,,,16 years old and have issues with emetophobia. I don't think i fear anything quite like i fear the act of vomiting and everything that's close to it.

It feels like I'm stuck.

Does throwing up cure emetophobia?
I have emetophobia I'm always afraid i will throw up. but if i throw up will it be over? will i not have the fear any more?

How can I get over my emetophobia?
I have emetophobia, which means I have a phobia of people being sick. I get so terrified if someone says they feel ill, or even if someone starts breathing deeper than normal. I can't sit near people in the car or on a coach for fear of them being ill and if someone is ill I panic so badly. Even being in a Biology lesson, which I find usually interesting, when we have an experiment which some people might find a little bit disgusting, I have to leave because I am scared someone might be sick because of it. I seriously don't want to have children because of this, it scares me so much.For example, I was in France a couple of months ago on a school exchange and we were on the coach and someone near me was sick and I couldn't handle it. I immediately started shaking so badly, crying and I ended up huddled over in my seat with my hands over my ears, crying and shaking. I feel now as though I made an idiot of myself but I can't help it. I know that this has got to the stage that it is a phobia and I need to get help for it. However, my parents don't seem to believe me as they haven't seen what happens to me if I get the slightest idea that someone is going to be sick. They laugh it off when I am sitting in the car and my brother goes silent or opens the window, which makes me believe he will be sick, causing me to panic. So, how can I stop myself from doing this? I have to go on a car journey for about four hours on Friday and I am so incredibly nervous about it. Help Sorry for the long explanation x

I need help regaining control of my life. Any help from emetophobia?
About 3 weeks ago, I woke up and I felt sick. I went to school only to leave about an hour later because I felt like I was going to throw up. Now, no matter what I do or where I go, I'm afraid that I'm going to throw up. I start to sweat, my saliva production increases, I feel my heart beating in my stomach, and I have a terrible urge to constantly belch. However, this only happens when I'm not home. When I am home, I feel fine and can live my life but once I go out and there are other people around, these symptoms occur. I can't sit in church for my than 15 minutes before these symptoms start and I have to leave in fear of throwing up. I was always afraid that people would judge me if I threw up in front of them but now this is just controlling my life. I'm afraid to eat out in restaurants, go to church, and even go to school. I'm afraid to leave my house because I don't want to throw up. If I put up with the symptoms and don't isolate myself, will I throw up or is it just a tease? How can I regain control of my life without spending money on medications, going to see a therapist, or talking to somebody about this?I am not overweight, I have a very healthy weight for my age and height.

How to handle severe emetophobia?
Hi. I've been suffering from very severe emetophobia for about 2 years. I frequently have panic attacks and find it difficult to enjoy anything as it is a constant worry, although I can sometimes keep it to a manageable level using relaxation techniques. I have been attending therapy for a year and a half and have been prescribed numerous anti anxiety drugs which have had no effect. This has caused me to suffer from depression and a few months ago I tried to take me own life resulting in a short stay in a mental health unit. I am now generally free of depression, though it is very hard to enjoy or even just carry out every day tasks with this anxiety. I am 17. I was wondering if anybody else has overcome this horrible phobia and what did you find helped? Ironically, I am very healthy and have not thrown up in six years. Please help. It is getting out of control.

Do I have emetophobia [fear of vomitting]?
A few years ago I've started to have this huge fear of eating chicken or any other meat. I refuse to eat in restaurants unless a family member or myself have already been there and said it's good. If I feel sick my breathing gets deeper and if it's really really bad my palms go a bit sweaty and I get butterflies in my stomach making the feeling even worse. I HAVE to check the sell by date on milk, eggs, butter, cheese, cream... When I am ill I must have my mum to reassure me otherwise I start crying. I always carry anti bacterial gel with me and I use it before I eat food. Every time I deal with my cat's litter or food I scrub at my hands with hot water and anti bacterial soap and i think because of that my hands have become very very dry. I usually make my sandwiches for school at home and I never put cheese or egg inside the sandwich it's only salad. I've even become a vegetarian.I only take pain killers if the pain is intolerable and if I do I MUST always take the pain killers after i've eaten a meal and i have to check the sell by date I started crying the first time someone told me there was an outbreak of bird flu and swine fluThis is become SO annoying my family gets so angry at me for doing all this but I get so scared that i'm going to be ill First of all do I have emetophobia or am I just being a fool?Also should I go to my doctor? my family think it's unnecessary even though they get annoyed by it what exactly would my doctor do?Thanks so much xAlso I do realise that no one likes to vomit but I just cannot stand it when someone even does a fake vomit noise or pretends to stick their fingers in their mouth or something Butter I don't particularly mind getting a cold or flu but if it's accompanied by vomitting then I freak out

Why is dealing with emetophobia so difficult?
I am 17 years old, and i have had emetophobia for almost 7 years now. I have severe panic attacks, i am afraid to eat at times, i always think the littlest things are going to make me vomit. I am afraid to go far away from home, to sleep over someones house, to eat fast food, and a hole bunch of other stuff. I would have to say that emetophobia controls all of the decisions i make in my life. I feel like i am not living my life to the fullest and i feel like most people cant handle the things i am going through. I have lost boyfriends and friends because it is hard to be with someone with emetophobia, even my family has showed me that. i just really feel alone and i have no one to relate too. If you can relate to me in any way, or have any advise for me, feel free to say anything. If you have any questions for me. Just ask.

Trying to figure out if I have the fear of vomit and vomiting called emetophobia. So here are my symptoms When people say they don't feel good i start freaking out on the inside and try my hardest to get as far away from him her as possible. When someone throws up i completely freak. I start crying and start to feel nauseous myself. No matter where I am, I get out as soon as possible,and if I can't,like if I'm in a car or something, I completely freak out until I do get out. If i start to feel nauseous, I kind of freak out on the inside, and literally PRAY not to get sick. When I go into bathrooms,mostly at home, I worry that I will step in vomit. This also happens when walking in the dark at my house late at night. can anybody help?
