fear of vomiting phobia

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 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.

Exactly, I have an extreme phobia for HIV. At the same time, I cannot even resist myself from having sex. But I never have penetrative sex only handjob and insertive oral. Thanks for your answer.

I first have to ask why someone with an "extreme HIV phobia" would work in a lab such as you do. I have an extreme fear of snakes and they couldn't pay me enough to work around the things. I also can't understand how someone in your position in not one of the most highly qualifed people to know how difficult it is to actually contrract HIV. You say that you always wear the correct protective gear while working with these specimens.

Here is how you get HIV, the ONLY way you'd get HIV: if you have unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex or sharing of drug needles. Hiv is inactivated by air and saliva. Every time you have a fear of HIV, remember that. It should alleviate the worry. If you didn't do these things, you aren't going to get HIV.

ve been dealing with it for most of your life. Therapy is really an optimal way to work through this kind of phobia. The therapist will help you learn coping mechanisms and help to undo the cycle of anxious thinking you have related to vomiting. Of course there will be times in your life where you'll have a stomach bug and if you've learned how to deal with your fears, those times won't be nearly as bad for you.

Such migraines are most frequently triggered by foul odors, but the hypersensitivity may extend to all odors. One study found as many as 25% of migraine sufferers had some degree of osmophobia. I very much doubt that your inability to breathe for a few seconds has anything to do with your lungs.

Fear of water, fear of nudity, fear of blood, fear of being touched, fear of loud noises etc.. Some of them may sound funny or silly or not a big deal, but like I said, they are all really bad for the person who has it, so we just need to get them fixed. I saw on the list "Emetophobia — fear of vomiting." which may be what you have. I think mine is probably "Anthropophobia, fear of people or being in a company, a form of social phobia".

hello everyone - is there anyone who suffers from emetophobia (fear of vomiting)? this is a huge step for me to actually write this down and ask.........

Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.

How can I get over a phobia. I have a very weird phobia, i always have the fear of some bug or creature flying in my ear. I never wear my hair up outside and I try to have my hair down inside too if i can. Even when i am sleeping i hate to have my ears not covered. What should i do?

I have had a toothache/facepain for over two weeks, I know I need to go and see a dentist but I have a great fear of going because of cetain circumstances that happened while going to the dentist as a child. I have been taking advil for the pain and most times it is tolerable but now it seems to be getting worse as it is keeping me awake at night.

i am 100 percent vegan exercise 2 hr each day and do meditation daily besides a lobotomy what else can I do to relieve my fear of blood pressure reading from a dr? http://youtu.

Hi Hannah, I certainly didn't mean it to be rude, and I'm sorry if it sounded that way. I called it irrational because a phobia is by definition an irrational fear; if it helps, I have a fear of spiders. They can't hurt me, so the fact that I'm scared of them is irrational. I meant the fear is irrational, not you.

I have the same exact fear of throwing up, or getting sick in public places! You are not alone and you are not crazy! It's just a phobia/anxiety and a "irrational" fear we live with. Every time I have to talk in front of people I almost have a panic attack and think I'm going to vomit or **** myself. It's the fear of embarrassment. My therapist says it's from trauma as a child , that we just started working on dealing with.

im 19 years old and i have been in a relationship for a year with my boyfriend we used 2 be sexually active all of the time untill when i was sore we had sex and i started 2 bleed, i bled for 2 weeks and then stopped jst after my period, i asked my sister and a close friend and they both said that it had never happend to them and they dont know why it could have happend, ever since sex has petrified me to the point where it makes me nervous when my boyfriend touches me, i havnt told a doctor, bu

And your fear of it going through the flor and contaminating your bed. Not possible. You need to go ahead and realize that this is a serious issue if you are irrational and having a phobia. Do you see a psychologist? If not, please do. This is treatable. Exposure therapy is the best for this type of thing. ERP therapy is what it is called and it is the gold standard. Medication helps too. Are there other things you have irrational fear about?

Oh. I read the title of the post. Maybe I saw the word phobia and then used it as essentially that was what the poster was implying. Sorry as nothing was intentionally posted to disagree. My eye sight is way too bad to use my phone for this. I have to enlarge and basically should probably wait until I am at my PC to be more 'PC'. Again just wanted to help the poster but didn't"t mean to step on toes.

You are both suffering from a very common phobia. Fear of the dark goes back to the dawn of man and since that time, millions of people have fought it all there lives. Please do not berate yourselves for this phobia or think you are silly for being afraid of the dark at your age. Our phobias are ours to own and suffer with as long as we do nothing about them. Since both of you have stated that your phobia is now interfering with your lives, it's time to take the bull by the horns!

t ejaculate at that time after 5 min she give me hand job and I ejaculate. Due to fear I check pcr rna and hiv p24 antigen at 42 day of post exp&.Results is non detectable pcr and non reactive for p34 and ab(0.02&0.04).after 72 days i retest 4th gen hiv duo and it is non reactive 0.04 ,what u think in these result if am absolutely free from hiv or am further waiting for check.

I understand, although I don't fear crowded spaces, or the toilet. I am absolutely terrified of heights and bees. I cant stand being to high off the ground or i start to hyperventilate. And when there's a bee near, I either run away screaming or start to shake with fear. But what I do is try to convince myself that I'm not going to die, an I try to regulate my breathing. That's what I suggest to you. Better yet, you should go see your doctor, and see what they have to say.

you can move out of that stage of fear but you will need help to unravel and begin to understand where it came from. take care and best of luck. ps don't be discouraged if you don't like the first therapist you meet. like any other relationship you need to find the right match and should trust and respect and like the person (a woman in your case to begin).

My main objective is to give you some insight into your chronic phobia of the dark. The fear of the dark is a very valid phobia to begin with and could branch into many other more specific phobias, such as nyctophobia, the fear of the darkness and the main one I wish to talk to you about now. Nyctophobia is any fear of darkness and it does not have to be chronic. It is usually caused by a magnification of the brain's natural perception of what could happen in a dark environment.

I'm 33 yrs.old as I sit in my room and weigh the pros and cons of sending my daughter to daycare because her classmate was throwing up when I picked her up yesterday! Of course I was immediately feeling uneasy because of it and took meds last night to not throw up! I've talked to a therapist about it& it's done no good. This has been with me my ENTIRE Life! As a 6yr.old I sat outside my house for hours because a family member had a virus.
