Anxiety can affect our minds in many kinds of ways, it can mimic any kind of real physical illness, yet can do us no physical harm as it is only a feeling.

I suggest you eat and even if you feel nauseous and vomit continue to eat and before long you will lose your fear of eating and you will cease to feel nauseous and vomit. Because you accepted your nausea.

Maybe you have an eating disorder such as anorexia?

I too am emetophobic. It's a hard thing to deal with. I would advise you to find a therapist that deals with phobias to talk to.
