    Does anyone else not have a problem with v* themselves, but just the nausea and anticipation leading to it or feeling like your going to v*?..i know when im actually v*ing i dont really have a problem with doing it to much, of course i dont like it, but who does..i dont like being around people that are v*ing either..i only dont mind when i know its not contagious..i hate v*ing it its such a horrible thing, but i think the nausea and anticipaction is worse.. anyone else like that too?

    No freak'n way. The sound, the smell... eeechchhyy. No, can't handle
    it. It traumatizes me to see someone barf however I don't worry about
    it if I know it's alcohol related or morning sickness or something like
    that.

    If I don't know what the cause is, then I worry. And I worry that I
    might get it. Getting things like the cold, strep throat or bronchitis
    or something like that doesn't even worry me that much at all but if
    it's a gastrointestinal illness, forget about it! I'd be a wreck.

    I don't like feeling sick, and can usually stop myself from v*ing, but it's not that big of a deal to me if I'm the one that's sick. However, if anyone else is ill, that's where my problem comes in. I don't care the reason, I freak out if it happens. It's even worse if it's alcohol-related. I guess I'm weird... whatever.

    Well...I have not v****ed in years and years, but when i'm nauseaus, it's the worst feeling in the world to me...I want to die!..but of course, i am also scared that I am going to v*. It has been so long since the last time I got sick, that I don't know if it's worse than the nausea leading up to it or not. I can't handle my kids getting sick, most definetly if it's contagious, which in their case it usually is. But yes Icicle I do agree with you for the most part.

    Every single time I've V'd in my life I think to myself "See that wasn't so bad" For the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to remember that when it looks like it might happen again. I tend to have more of a problem with other people doing it though. I think because there is the question of if I will get sick or not. If I AM sick I already know and can't do anything about it so why bother being scared. I'm not sure if that made any sense. It did in my head.

    That made sense to me, I agree the fear of getting sick is the worst fear of all, now that I think of it, that's probably my main problem!

    Ok good. I wasn't sure if it made any sense. I've got three body problems today so I'm a little out of it. I woke up with indigestion for one. My monthly started for two. AND I'm coming down with a head cold for three. I'm 0 for 3.

    I'm the same way. Once it happens, I think "this wasn't so bad" but then I won't eat for a couple of days, to make sure it doesn't happen again. I always feel like I'm being smothered when I V**T. I think that's what terrifies me so much; I feel like someone is holding my head underwater. If I even think I may be ill, I get terrified! I panic, my knees shake, I get so nervous that even being in the same room with someone makes me feel suffocated. There have been times when I've asked my husband to sleep on the sofa, just because him being in the same room made me feel even more like I was being suffocated. I think it's the fear leading up to it that's scarier for me.

    I think my biggest fear with the ephobia is being stuck in the bathroom
    for days and days or even hours and not being able to leave.

    my worst fear is having to v* in public and then having no way to get home..does anyone else feel like when their out in public, they get nauseous and start freaking out because they only feel safe at home..?

    yes, icicledreamz, I feel the same way! I will not eat if I have to go anywhere. It's so horrible! If I'm working, I will not eat breakfast or lunch b/c I don't want to risk getting sick at work. I'll snack on something like pretzels or chips and a diet coke but that's it. If I have to go somewhere in the evening, I won't eat dinner. I'll wait until I come home, no matter how hungry I am. I'm so scared I'll v**t in public, even if it's in the bathroom. I feel so suffocated, I don't want anyone around me. I definitely suffer from the anixety and fear more than actually getting sick. The anxiety makes it worse. It's a vicious cycle.

    I'm afraid of the whole Shebang! I hate the Nausea and I hate the actual act of doing it. I hate when there are other people around me who are doing it too. I hate feeling sick and yes I get scared to go out because I always think that I might V* and since I don't drive I'd have to take public transportation home...that's a grim thought for me!

    Thatīs a very interesting question ici. But I donīt know a answer, unfortunatelly. I am 25 and v* the last time when I was approximately 5 or 6. The strange thing is: I still know that I didnīt have a problem with vomiting these three times in my childhood.


    Well, now I donīt know how is the vomit-act (and actually I really donīt wanna know how it is!), but I often wondering that maybe the nausea and the feeling of losing controll is the worst part at my emet (maybe? I donīt know)


    I hate nausea. Often I think I canīt stand this nausea feeling. But I donīt know what to do with myself in this situation. I can run away of other people feeling and being sick, but I canīt run away of my own body! [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]


    If I feel good, I can imagine to get sick...but if I only feel a bit nauseous, this thought is unbelievable suddenly.


    I hope you understand how I mean this [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]Edited by: Sun666
