Normal?

[waspinators]

Hi, I'm new to the forums. Umm, yeah, I might be the single most v*
hating person in the world. I feel sick out of nowhere every day, and
for some reason while I get that feeling, I tend to scratch my face and
arms repeatedly until I get red marks. Like, I'll be doing homework or
something and then all of a sudden, BING! I get a bell in my mind and
become sick all of a sudden. If I even SEE someone v* in school, I have
to run out of the classroom and crumple into a fetal postition. I wish
I had a genie, and it gave me one wish, and I would say, forget money,
forget a mansion, I want to be puke-free the rest of my life. I mean
just looking at it makes me want to practically die. Is this like,
severe emetophobia or what?

Welcome!!! Hun, you're JUST like everyone else on this website!! Take heart and know you are SO not alone! You found a wonderful site here where everyone supports, understands, and KNOWS exactly how you feel!! Look around and read all of the posts, and you will SEE for yourself that we KNOW where you're coming from :-)

Like me, you MAY just start feeling better KNOWING others share this same phobia as you! It almost makes life easier to deal with :-)

Again...WELCOME!

You are not alone - so take some comfort in knowing that. I'm not sure how old you are but have you spoke to your parents or anybody about how you feel? I am a true believer in medication and counseling.Don't suffer in silence honey,there are things that can make this phobia alot more manageable.I suggestshowing this site to whomever you do tell - that way they will have a better understanding of how it affectspeople. People without this phobia kindatend to shrug it off that nobody likes to V and true as that is we are all on such a different level from that.
