fear of vomiting help

Oh my goodness, the fear of vomiting i have is that bad. I constantly try and evaluate the tiniest sickness i have and think i am going to vomit. Every time especially if i am in public or at work i just think of utterly embarrassing myself by freaking out so much and vomiting everywhere. Everyone looking at me, having no where to hide, getting it in my hair, choking on it. Dry reaching is the worst possible feeling i could ever imagine... Feeling like your eyeballs are about to pop...

I have serious emetophobia and all of the above list nausea and vomiting as a side effect. What am I supposed to do?? I am never sick, I mean I never catch the common cold (most likely due to my phobia)so being sick for a month is really taking a toll on me. Does anyone have any suggestions? What's a girl to do?

I feel like I should test to know my status for definite and to certainly ease my concerns but I think the fear of it being positive will always be there. The vomiting and diarrhea are really what worried me despite the low risk, both the timing of that and then the symptoms I've had since then. I did see Dr Handsfield say once that vomiting and diarrhea weren't symptoms of ARS which reassured me slightly but again, other places say differently.

When you say "fear of being sick", are you talking about fear of vomiting? Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting, and it is more common than you think. Anxiety sufferers usually each have their own specific fixation of worry, whether it be vomiting, dying, going crazy, having a life threatening medical condition/illness, etc. There are many fears like that that people with anxiety (usually more specifically panic disorder) struggle with.

Even when I try drinking water I feel like it wants to come back up. I knw its important for me to keep fluids down. Ciz of fear of dehydration. But its hard im not even hungry and I haven't even really eaten anything. So any advice or help would be appreciated.

You said she gets her self worked up every evening and has a fear of eating it could be possible she to has a psychological problem causing this to occur such as fear of going to bed, a fear of going to school the next day, or possibly even anorexia. You said she doesn't know why she vomits and that is probably the case, she may be stressed over something either at home, or school and is either blocking it out or is embarrassed or afraid to talk about it.

like my fear of vomiting (where when im anxious about it, i picture my self throwing up in my current situation or a situation down the road) my fear of depression causes me to picture myself actually depressed or suicidal.

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

may differ. Some people have health phobias, fear of having a heart attack, fear of going crazy, fear of driving, the list is endless. Try searching the forum, we have a few posters that deal with this also. "Erin" is one of them. Sometimes it just helps knowing we're not alone. My advice to you is to seek out therapy, specifically CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and start addressing this so you can reign the anxiety in.

Based on these symptoms, is there a possibility of overdose. If you have any suggestions on what I can do to help her get help, I am open for anything. She used to attend AA meetings but has not been in a while. I cannot afford a rehab facility but I fear that she is killing herself. Thanks to you all for taking the time to read my post and I wish you the best of luck in your sobriety.

I posted an answer to your question on the other forum, if it's still up. Haven't checked. As I said then, there are a lot of different forms of medicine practiced in the world. The newest one is allopathic medicine, which is what your doctor does. You report symptoms, he either does surgery or gives you a drug basically. He does diagnostic tests that give pictures which might or might not be clear enough or show what the problem is, as many things don't show up on these exams.

I have learned that facing your fear is the best way to overcome it, you'll learn that the only thing to really fear about vomiting is the fear itself. I can only base this on my own experiences. Before I had children I had a horrible fear of seeing someone after they've fallen and hit their head and I would run the other way. I had my first child and he fell on the side walk and my first instinct was to run but this was my little boy and his well being meant more to me than my fear.

For as long as I can remember I have had a massive fear of vomit ( not vomiting, fear of others puking) when ever I even think about someone throwing up it gives me anxiety. When I see someone even about to I start panicking. I live in an apartment complex and someone threw up in the parking lot and now I'm scared to go out there. It's makes me panic and want to cry.

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

the sensation of vomiting is too great to overcome....i afraid i would puke in front of them....so i choose not to eat with my friends lock myself from my friends......i haven't been outing for a long time....but when eating with families,it will be better but still there is nausea.....When i go on stage to perform ,the nausea feeling attacks me too......Even when my friends talk about outings and where to eat or discuss about food or when i think about food alone......

I got this a lot. Orange juice seemed to work well for me. I also chewed mint gum through the day to get rid of the taste.

In a nutshell: I know I have trichomoniasis, I know the risks associated with this infection. I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and a history of Panic Disorder. Unfortunately, one of the most intense triggers for my anxiety disorders is the thought of having to undergo a pelvic exam. I fear everything about the process, the situation, the discussion, the results etc.

She is worse now this morning then previous episodes wanted to sleep next to toilet in fear of vomiting again, complained of pain in the center of her chest, belly button area and said when she puts her neck down it hurts her mid back and her chest and belly. She has no diarrhea, normal child but has complained of tummy pains not so intense and no vomiting for over 1 ½ years doctor has said thought it was constipation.

And everything is normal from ultrasonic of abdomen and kidney, endoscope of digestive track, all are normal except two things. Presence of mucus in yeast cell and protein in urine test. I have mild fever on and off, not much sore throat, pain in legs or joints, weight loss around 4 lbs in three months, I still see white discharge with no rashes, mild tingling at tip of penis and when I'm really scared I get some Diaherrea. I'm really stressed.

I had nausea before surgery that seemed too come for an entire week or so where I could barely keep anything down then disappear. After surgery its been less frequent and intense but still have it. Tonight has been one of those nights. I usually wake up knowing it will be one of those days. I used to gave an intense fear of vomiting and would avoid it at any cost but now its something that's so common I don't even think about it.
