It is a phobia of vomiting

Yup.....I know where you're coming from. What helps is to dig down of WHY you fear it. For me,mits the fear of pain and suffering and feeling out of control.

That is a good description of it. I have had this extreme hatred and almost a fear of vomiting ever since I was a small child. I just never got past it. I am middle aged now and still have this phobic reaction when I have to retch. UGHHH !!!

I am not so sure that for ME, knowing the WHY of it would help me to get rid of the panic I feel when I have to do it. I suppose everyone is different.

I don't suffer from any phobia, though may I ask how a fear of such a thing is actually affecting someone's life at all?

Nobody ever pukes, and if you regularly do to a point where this fear is something you have to experience often: that's a point where you have bigger problems than the phobia itself, no?

Best wishes!

Nobody should run around feeling they have to puke on a regular basis; listen to that fear; you might need medical attention!

I repeat: you should not accept a status where your bowels wanna throw up all the time!

Solve it, best wishes!

Hi I can relate to you completely. This phobia is ruining my life as well. I find it hard to get to school and stay in class. I want to do schoolwork at home but my parents won't let me. If you ever want to chat just let me know.

I have this phobia and I really, truly, with al, my heart, think it's getting worse.

I can't sleep at night due to panic attacks.

I can't get up in the morning to go to school.

My parents yell at me for making up excuses for not going to school when I can't get up without falling asleep.

I freak out during school when someone feels sick, coughs, or even (the worst) throws up.

People even mess with me, pretending to gag and even puking! I really need someone to talk to right now... 😂
