Is it normal to be terrified of vomiting??

Simple as that: I'm terrified for everything about it. I can't talk about it for very long without getting grossed out, I can't watch it, it gives me the creeps to hear the sound of it. I'm scared to go out in public sometimes in case i might see it. Help! IIN???

    I had this problem for years - it's called emetophobia. I sort of diagnosed myself by researching it, and you may need counselling to get over it, depending on how seriously it affects it. I'm pretty much over it now though, so stay optimistic. :)

    I don't want to myself,that's pretty normal and common,I don't mind that much if one of my buddies is puking around me as long as it isn't on me,it is a phobia though you should look it up.

    I can`t stand it when people puke, nor can I stand to do it myself. It`s so gross, & to me it`s a sign of weakness.

  • I'm exactly the same. I haven't thrown up since I was about 2 years old, and I'm ABSOLUTELY terrified. Same as everyone, I cant stand bars & roller coasters and such. I'm even contemplating adoption when I get older just so I won't have to go through morning sickness (although I hope I will get over it by then). Once, my friend threw up in the car on the way to a school dance. I had a kind of a panic attack and I was shaking excessively for about an hour and a half afterwards... Heck, I'm shaking just thinking about it! Blegh.
    So yeah, I feel your pain... :)

    I'm not scared of it, I just hate it. You feel it coming up your throat and there is nothing you can do about it. Once, I threw up a Whopper. I spent about an hour trying to hold it down, but in the end, I had to barf it out. I think it's understandable that you can't handle the sight, sound, or smell of barf. Just don't let it take over your life or anything.

    I'm emetophobic as well which really sucks because I can't drink or be in bars without being completely paranoid. I can't go on rollercoasters or be in the amusement parks for that matter. You learn to live with it as annoying as it may be.
