ever since i was a little girl i've been deathly afraid of vomit. i can't watch people vomit, smell it, look at it, or hear it without freaking out and crying and all together losing it! like some people have a fear of snakes or spiders... i fear vomit. is this normal? what can i do about it? thanks!
i'm the same way. i actually see a psychiatrist for it, and i have a prescription for zofran, the strongest anti-nausea medicine known to man. if you need to talk about your feelings, i've found that emetophobia.org is a very helpful site.
I have the same fear. If I see vomit or someone being sick it's all I think about for the rest of the day. I hope I can get over it because I know I will have to look after my son when he is sick.
same exact way i will not be able to go on with the rest of the day if i see someone or hear someone vomit
My sister has that. I used to be bulemic. Do you think that might have anything to do with it?
I used to get that way yuck yuck yuck can't stand vomit!! But I'm that way with worms!
I don't fear it or even care when people say they feel like there gonna puke. But when they do, I get a tightness in my chest.
I hate vomit 2 ( even riting it givis me da chills ) when I was a baby I got car sick every time I got in a car I freaked- out.... Still do unless Im driving! :(
exactly like me. i have been scared of sick all my life! every word you said, its the same for me:/
I hope it's normal, because i'm soo scared of it too, for years i've hated it, I just can't stand it. It's my biggest fear and causes panic attacks for me. I'd like someone to talk to about it..so if you want to?
good luck x
Lots of us have irrational phobias of things (mine is spiders..yeuch.) A fear of vomit is more unusual, but it's still the same sort of thing. If it's really bothering you, then you can have CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) to desensitise yourself to the stimulus (vomit.) Good luck :)
i dont think you really need to do anything. unless you want to... like ... puke?
