Emetophobia

Fear of vomiting. Anyone else here have it besides me?

*raises hand* Huge emetophobe here. I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm not afraid of dying - but man, oh man, I absolutely cannot handle the possibility of vomiting. It's pretty much the only reason I still have panic attacks.

My time spent at what was once considered by playboy to be one of the top party colleges led me to the realization that there are many times when throwing up actually makes you feel a lot better. So nope...no fear here.

I have tried several times were the only thing to help me feel better was to vomit...so i dont fear it....

Yyyy And I have diarrhea

I don't like it but sometimes I make myself thinking it will relieve it.

Does for a short amount of time then.....

...i can't believe i'm posting about this..

I used to, but I gradually learned that when I feel sick and allow myself to vomit, I feel better at once.

I have a slight fear of vomiting, but I don't know that it may actually be considered emetophobia. I didn't have it until after I had been ill for about two weeks when I was fourteen, and spent at least two entire days just vomiting. I couldn't even sleep, I remember two nights of continuous vomiting, and the days weren't any better. It felt a lot worse than it may appear when you read this now; ever since, I have had an aversion to vomiting, which I didn't have at all before. Sometimes after I had eaten a bit too much and my stomach was full, I'd get these panic attacks that I might vomit, and I HAD to take a Domperidone pill to soothe my nausea (but in reality it had become a psychological problem, and I basically took 'em to calm myself). I remember times, not too long ago, that my fear of nausea and vomiting would make my body cramp up.

It appears to have lessened a bit now, but I still CANNOT vomit 'comfortably', like I used to. I take care that I stay vomit-free.

It's an awesome way to lose weight!

am i the only one that likes vomiting? its thrilling to say the least and i enjoy it much

Well, Emetophobia can also be a fear of others vomiting. I'm afraid of both myself AND others doing it, but moreso when it's other people.

Actually puking is cool sometimes. Like when you've had too much to drink? You can throw up on the floor, then you can go drink some more.

I'm only afraid of others vomiting if they have a contagious disease, because that means I may vomit as well. But if somebody pukes and I know it's not contagious, I don't care.

Puke-phobic topic

Darn right I fear puke...when I see someone's upchuck on the sidewalk, with a strong odour of beer!

There's also the hurl in the hopper, sometimes all over the toilet seat.

I have even seen it in a drinking fountain.

I would rather clean up feces than vomitus. Just the thought makes me want to throw up.

Major fear of vomiting - if I see it I'll feel sick for the whole day.
I don't mind myself puking but if I see it I feel weak and nauseous.
It's so bad that I just can't be around people that are throwing up.
Some people think it makes me look cold...

I just say, well, a phobia's a phobia...

I am terrified of vomiting. It is my only phobia. Doesn't matter if it's my own or someone elses. I could never be a janitor for this reason.

Agreed.


Ew. I hate being drunk.
