EMETROPHOBIA

[STAFFORD]

I Have a terrible fear of being sick or other people been sick i can't help them i put my fingers in my ears and i leave the room or if someone is sick in the street i walk away and avoid going down that street or if in the shop i panic. my friend vomited in the theatre once a long time ago and i couldn't help her the only thing i could do was to go and tell a member of staff that worked in the theatre that my friend had been sick in the auditorium. i hate been around people that have being sick in case i catch it.

it makes feel sick too and i have a fear of being sick myself if i vomit then i start crying.

I feel so bad that i can't help the person who has vomited.

People don't understand my problem. if i go on car journey i have to get tablets and sit in the front seat or i start feeling sick i can't travel with people that are travel sick.

because i am scared i can't stand people vomiting and that makes my feel terrible.

If there is a bug going around or the norovirus then i go into a panic i stay away from crowded places i am scared to go into hospital as a patient or to visit any family members or friends because of the fear of catching the bugs going around hospitals or even nursing homes and i feel awful about this. my family and my fiancee don't understand. so i avoid these places and stay at home.

I don't join any groups because the fear of being sick myself or seeing other people being sick.

It is so annoying and it is scary i am also checking sell by dates on food and disinfecting my flat alot.

Love

Stafford (Staff)
