i think i have Emetophobia. is it "cureable"

hearing all these comments makes me feel 100x better and 100x worse. im glad im not alone but hearing all these people who have been struggling with this all their lives. im 14 and my fear if throwing up keeps me up at night and its soo annoying. i get all shaky and sweaty when i feel sick. like right now for example im having a ton of anxiety about throwing up and the stupid thing is that i have a chest cokd right now. how is that gonna induce my vomitting? it most likely wont but ive been coughing so much that its making me scared.whenever i feel sick i try to do the same thing as i did when i didnt get sick or avoid doing something when i did get sick like i havent worn a night gown since like 3rd grade because i got sick in one. im sooo tired but no matter what i wont be able to fall asleep. i have alot of family issues that started when my parents got divorced when i was 6. im guessing thats why i am the way i am. i wish i had more answers because im scared and i dont want to waste my life on something that only happens occasionally if at all. help me.

I am the same way...i NEVER wear the clothes I wear the same day i get sick on..when I do get sick which isnt that often.  Do you go to therapy or something? I've had emetophobia since I was 2 years old and I waited until I was 16 (im 17 now) to get help. You should get help ASAP! Meaning like, go to a psychiatrist.  I wish I had done it a looooot earlier becuase even though I am not "cured" I do get anxiety a lot less frequently, and when I do get anxiety over it, it is much more manageable.  I dont know if your into the whole medication thing, especially being only 14 but ever since I started taking Pristiq, my life changed.  I got anxiety way less...and I go to therapy which helps me sort of reason out my mind.  For me, I think my anxiety is more chemical based...but it sounds like there are some deep rooted things that cause your anxiety.  Therapy can help this. Meds and therapy combined are the best treatment because meds lessen the symptoms while therapy helps to sort out your mind and build you up to be stronger and deal with it better.  
Emetophobia is soo horrible.  I know exactly how you feel and it *****.  I've talked to some people who say they are completely cured of it.  On the other hand, ive heard some people tell me they still have it.  As for me, Im pretty sure I'll have it for the rest of my life.  But the important thing is you keep fighting it and working to make it better and more managable.
