Is it normal that i'm afraid of vomiting?

I have a terrible fear of throwing up...IDK...I can clean up when my cats get sick but if I have a stomach ache I freak out and start chugging Pepto Bismol and sobbing.

    At least you don't have some obsession with puking. It's fine to be scared of being sick.

    I am the same way! I always cry after I vomit. Been this way since I was a little girl.

    like an intense anxiety that your about to puke? that SUCKS! i hate that so much. most of the time though, the acutal puking is much less worse than the thought of it. :) lol

    I have always had MAJOR anxiety about throwing up. I get SUPER anxious even when my stomach feels a little upset. it's the worst.

    Vomiting. It hurts like a bitch. It feels like my insides are all trying to push their way out of my esophagus, but they cant make it through, so they try harder, but still fail....I don't know what the fuck I'm saying anymore. I guess I'm rambling. But yes it's normal.

    Yup I used to get panic attacks every time I was sick, but that cured after food poisoning and alcohol poisoning even though I still hate it and I HATE being alone when I'm about to hurl

    I get this too. The feeling you get when you puke, or just before you are about to puke, is the worst feeling in the world!

    I used to be exactly like that. Then, I was very sick for a year or so with another issue, which including frequent vomiting. That took away the fear.

    Pepto Bism can really mess up your digestive system. It should not be taken in excess.
    However, the fear of throwing up is a common fear. I have it. There are other ways to calm your stomach without pepto bismal. Ginger is common one. You can add it into your daily diet to prevent and treat stomach aches.
