My phobia is controlling me!

Right I suffer from emetophobia (vomit phobia) and it competley ruins my life! If I think im going to be sick or someone else is I start to hyperventilate and nearly have a apnic attack.And thats not a nice experience!I want children someday but Im terrified of moring sickness. I avoid eating meat in public restaurants due to food poisoning. I dont go on rides and cant travel in a car for long distances due to travel sickness.I avoid anyone who has been ill with a bug and sometimes dont go to school if there is something going around. I also refuse to go near drunk people and dont drink for the fear on getting pissed.My best friend used to suffer from it and my mum says that it was just attention seeking. I darednt tell her because shel tell me to stop being dramatic.What help can I get? :(

Answer #1

I have the exact same thing…I have a phobia of being sick..I panic after I eat meat..I sometimes dont eat meat if someone has cooked it…I only eat beef when I go out..as you cant get food poisoning from that..I paninc when I feel sick and avoid going on big rides…and I always cook my meat for extra minutes so I know for sure its cooked all the way through…I know its horrible but if it starts getting worse I would advice you to go to the doctors and get help. x x

Answer #2

I’d consult a mental health professional. Phobia treatments are very behaviorally oriented and thus they do not take years to cure, so think about getting help

Answer #3

I have had it for about 5 years and its getting worse all the time.I dont want to tell my parents though :(
