i have been suffering from vomiting phobia for years now and recently over the last month it is really effecting my life. I feel nauseaous all the time i dont know if its in my head. When i feel nauseous my hands sweat, i get a panic attack sometimes a black out. I always want fresh air and i want someone next to me telling me its going to be alright. I have (touch wood) not really vomited for a long time for years but just that feeling of vomiting. I have cut down on drinking alcohol thinking il vomit. When i feel like this i rather die i feel like gtting all the world togther to help me...its effectign my life i think about this all the time. I dont knw what to do. I have mentionned it to my doctor he has said to try and relax more.I am always reading up on how to control nausea. there is never really one right answer. what should i do??

I suppose I could loosely be called an Emetophile because the sight and sounds of people vomiting makes me collapse with laughter.
I wish I could give you some of my personality so that Emetophobia didnt haunt you any more.

You are thinking about Margerat Thatcher too much. She makes everyone want to vomit.
Dont worry, she will be dead soon and your problem will be over.

I don't think you will get much help here, you would be better seeing a head doctor. I am frightened to death of being sick, but it doesn't affect my life like it does yours, only when I'm actually going to be sick, My friend is like this too.
Ask your doctor too see someone else who is trained in phobias or something.

Have you been sick a lot in the past or something?

If i'm actually really ill, sometimes i'm quite happy to be sick. It gets it over with and for a bit afterwards you actually feel better.

same when your a bit pished and start feeling queezy.

I never knew it had a name!!!

Yes, I do have a vomiting phobia and have done since I was very young. It could be the reason that I am tea total too. When I am sick I am usually in denial right until the last moment as I always try to control it and prevent it from happening. This usually results in a major panic at the wrong moment and I have ended up choking before which was very scary.

My heart begins to beat rapidly and I start to go very limp and faint, naturally I sweat a lot too.

I also have the unfortunate predisposal to Hyperemesis gravidarum which has put me in hospital on a drip for more times than I care to mention. I must admit though directly following episodes of that my phobia became less intense, a sort of baptism by fire.

I am like this too..

When I do feel sick (touch wood I'm not going to :help: )..I shake, don't breathe properly, get a banging head, feel dizzy and I can never get to the toilet :blush: I have to be in bed with a bucket and someone sat at the side of me to comfort me..like my mummy used to do :(

I can't stand seeing anyone be sick..If I do, which I have done a couple of times :gag: I can't get the vision out of my head and I end up making my self ill..I think about it for days :confused:

I think I have got a little better has I have got older. I used to let it control my life in a way..I wouldnt go out to pubs or clubs because I thought I would see someone be sick..I never went to parties too cause of people getting too drunk and being sick. I can just about cope (sometimes) with the sound of someone being sick now..when I was a bit younger I couldnt cope at all!! I can also take a quick look at a pile :gag: in the street and not let it bother me all day liked I used to.

When I do feel sick now (In the earlyish stages..just when the shaking is starting) I get in a nice warm bath..that seems to settle my stomache a bit..then I get out lay in bed and put a warmish (not too warm) flanel on my head and keep turning it over and wetting all my face with it...try it!!..Also try and control your breathing..breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth..it might make you feel a bit funny at first but it should work :thumbsup:

I hope you get it sorted..I don't think I will :(
