Common Questions and Answers about Fear of vomiting in public

fear

Avatar m tn 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... Your stomach acid is gagging up your throat. Ugh i just cant handle it all. even hearing the noise i get a huge freight and run away.
Avatar f tn I'm in therapy I still have these thoughts I don't understand I was so normal a year ago. I did extreme sports all the time wasn't afraid of public. Now I'm afraid of a lot of things.
Avatar n tn Then a week or two ago it started again. He vomited 4 times yesterday and refuses to go anywhere public for fear of getting sick. It is extremely frustrating for all of us. His neurologist increased his dosage of Topamax and we are hoping it helps but I don't know. He also shows signs of Aspergers but he has never been diagnosed (I have read Aspies can be extremely sensitive to smells, tastes and textures).
1194973 tn?1385503904 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.
Avatar n tn If you have had unprotected vaginal or anal sex (and maybe oral sex) in a public bathroom, you might be at risk for HIV. Otherwise, it is unlikely there is any risk. HIV is not transmitted by nonsexual exposures to contaminated surfaces etc. Now I have read the question itself. Guess what? There is simply no risk. Yes, "public men's urinals" are safe. You really have to stretch reason to even assume a possibility of a transmission risk.
Avatar m tn Many people have this fear but it stems usually from a fear of a particular disease or diseases. What particular disease(s) are you worried about? Also, what specifically happens...panic attack, irrational thinking? Is it only when you are in a doctor's office or do you have other irrational fears as well outside of the syringe/sharps container environment?
Avatar f tn I hope I'm home in my room or something if it breaks that way I will know and won't have to have someone else clean it up lol. Every time me and my husband go anywhere public he's like "what if your water breaks here" it makes me nervous the rest of the time we are out lol.
Avatar f tn Oh i feel for you and i wish the people in our lives could understand like we do.. I remember reading about Emetaphobia- fear of vomiting- and being amazed- had always thought it was just me-all my life since i was a teenager. i stopped eating before and during school nearly all my highschool years so that i wouldn't throw up in class. I never told anyone- how could you?! No therapy had helped me either- or meds.
17213106 tn?1456525991 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn it comes and goes but it really freaks me out because of how it makes me feel. especially in a public place because i would be really embarassed if i fainted in a public place. but like i said it comes and goes.
Avatar f tn about 10 months ago. i dropped a page on a public floor and when i picked it up without noticing i touched fresh blood on it. wen i did notice i rubbed it off. i had no cuts but lately have been worrying: what if it was hiv infected? what if it someway infected me, what if i mistakely rubbed it in my eye. should i worry or is it just a hiv fear. plz help, advice would be appreciated. p.
Avatar m tn However, it has shifted to HIV fear. Whenever I go out of home, I feel I will not come home without catching it. I worry if there are needles whenever I am shopping and the person who recently put the bag on the surface might have pricked himself and well ... no need to mention, is there? I've consulted my best choice option--my mother--and she says that she has taken every possible measurement to help us( me and my brother) lead a very old age.(VERY FUNNY; I KNOW THAT).
7826987 tn?1401691041 i have a fear that i never knew about lol what if my water breaks in public?! id be so freakin embarrassed lol has this happened to anyone??
Avatar f tn I was in a car accident 7 months ago, and it was pretty bad. I ran my car head on into a tree and I got pretty banged up. I went to the doctors the following day, and sure enough, I had a pretty severe concussion. I've had concussions before, the worst caused me to miss 4 months of schooling, that was roughly 5 years ago. Now, I get nauseous at random times. Most of the time when I ride in a vehicle or drive anywhere (not all of the time though), and when I lay down to go to bed.
Avatar m tn I had a cut on my ankle the day before I went swimming. The cut did hurt when I was in the pool. After swimming, I took a shower in a public showering place and there was a guy right next to me also taking a shower (there's no divider between us so whatever that's on him can be easily sprayed to me). My questions is: What if his blood or semen sprayed on my cut?
Avatar f tn Sounds like severe panic attacks. Everyone reacts differently, some more severe than others. She needs to be seeing a counselor or having some sort of help. It most likely will never just go away. Not sure if you have heard about some people that have a fear of going past their city line-can't leave their city and when they get close they panic uncontrollably. Like people who suffer from agoraphobia, they tend to avoid public/unfamiliar places.
Avatar m tn Starting 29th July, I am in real anxiety thinking I might have got HIV and started researching alot in internet about HIV. For the last 2 days, I am having vomiting sensation though I do not vomit, simply some saliva come out. I even called her up asking her health status, she said she is clean. I am worried why she even gave me a blow job unprotected if she is so health conscious. Please advise me for the following. 1. Is vomiting sensation a HIV symptom? 2. Which HIV test can I go for now?
Avatar n tn i know i have anxiety issues, and it is why im so stressed out when im out in public, i cant eat in public places, i cant even keep my head up while walking down the street cause of the fear people are looking at me, and its degrading and i feel like im being worn down, willpower is the key im aware, but i feel like i will never overcome these problems.
Avatar f tn 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.

6801259 tn?1385008504 Every time i go to the bathroom, i have to clean it because i fear sperm is somewhere on the toilet, toilet paper ( I'll always grab a new roll ) and i might get pregnant, i fear it's in my soap ( i have these thoughts right when i use it : what if a man did a cruel joke and put sperm in there ), in my summers eve wipes ( same thing i think about the soap), anything i touch. I feel that it's everywhere and I'm just going to get pregnant.
