I think I have Emetophobia.

[samann04]

I have never been diagnosed with emetophobia, but I am pretty sure that I have it. I am a senior in college and miss classes because of it. I am taking the state trooper exam in January and really need to get over it. I am afraid to tell my family about it because I know it sounds so ridiculous. What is the best way to overcome this phobia?

My brother and I both have this problem - and have for our entire lives! What's worse is that I tend to feel nausea often so the fear of vomiting adds to it. I don't have advice - just wanted to say that you're not alone.

i know what you're talking about.
maybe try a psychologist?

Even though I know that it will help me and that it is a normal thing in life, I still cannot seem to get over it. I cannot be around anyone who is sick because I might become sick. I will do everything that I can to not throw up. I have had anxiety attacks over it. Also all the worrying about me throwing up makes my stomach hurt and makes me so nauseous. I cannot handle it anymore, but I don't know who I should go and see about it???

wow sorry to hear that , you know am not one to throw up but i dont like it , but i dont have a fear of it either , its very natural and it cleans your body out when your sick so you need to think of it clening your germs out so you can get better. you need to talk to someone , your old enought to go dr on your own and get help i did see someone talking about this the other day go to the home page and put that in ot throw -up . see if it comes up good luck.
