Emetophobia

Tweet

Emetophobia is when you are terrified of vomiting. Yes you heard me right! It's actually a horrible phobia to have, as it's a natural bodily function. I have been an emetophobe my entire life. I have no idea how it started? All I know is I have it! Even eating is hard because what goes through your mind is "oh my god, what if this makes me sick, I should't eat this at all!", or "What if I have a stomach virus and don't even know about it yet? What if I end up throwing all this food up?". It's awfully hard to live with.. An emetophobe can go YEARS without throwing up, even when they are very sick. I managed to get through two extremely nauseating pregnancies without throwing up, SOMEHOW lol. Power of the mind! We'll do anything in our power to NOT do the 'deed'. Does anyone else here have emetophobia? Better yet, has anyone BEATEN emetophobia?
