Anyone else??

[kimmiekoko]

Is there anyone on here that also has vomiting phobia?  I have had a severe phobia about either myself or even more so someone near me throwing up.  I try to avoid situations where I think there could be a possiblity of it happening.

Gosh, it looks like I may be alone here....

You sound like many HA persons and are focused on one disurbing thought, and it overtakes your thoughts. I have had other fixated thoughts but not that one. Welcome to the forim and I hope to see you in chat sometime.

Well not exactly, but when I do feel like I am going to I THEN get total anxiety big time.  I can;t stand the feeling and I seriously let it bother me badly.  I just don't fear it happening if I don't feel sick and don't feel others doing it.  (by the way I threw up on some girl in high school.  lol  Some stranger.  Not all over her but I was walking down the hall and did it and it at leats got some on her shirt i think and I went to the restroom and came back out and she was gone and I never saw her again.  lol  That was embarrassing, but sure would have been more so if I ever saw her or knew her).

Okay, I see, thanks!

I't's not like its an emergency that I talk with someone just releasing some negative thoughts.  I've had this ever since I can remember and I know what triggered the whole problem, it happened when I was just a baby, never tried working on eliminating this problem just thought I had  to live with it but now I know differently.

Hey nightowl, I've always had that fear that that would happen when I was in school (many many years ago that is).  Fortunately it never happened around a crowd of people....

Hi Kimmie!

I'm just like you! I CAN NOT and WILL NOT throw up, hurl, barf whatever you want to call it- in front of someone else. In my early 20's I used to drink to the point of throwing up and if someone tried to follow me i would run away from them. i am the same way !

I hate the feeling of throwing up.  I also get nervous when I feel that way.  I don't want to even hear somebody else puking.  I will leave the area real quick.  Yuck...new topic.

You are an emitophobe (sp.?) just like me...yes there's a word for it....the fear of vomiting or hearing/seeing someone else doing it....
