You probably get posts like this all the time.


I've always had an extreme fear of throwing up. I would become hysterical whenever I threw up, and I take extreme procautions to keep myself from throwing up when I feel sick, like not eating so that I won't throw up as much.


Sometimes at night I'll start thinking about throwing up. I'll have told myself it isn't that bad, but then once I think about it I'll start remember that awful sensation and I'll practically cry just thinking about it. Even though I haven't thrown up in years, I am so scared of it.


I remember being in the car and my brother was throwing up. I was clawing at the windows, I wanted out so bad. I would have jumped out of the moving vehicle. I just wanted out. Looking back, this was totally weird. I have never seen anybody act like this before.


My brother throws up all the time, and whenever he does, I have to go upstairs or downstairs depending on where he is, or if I'm in bed I'll cover my ears and even after he is done I'll cover my ears so that I don't hear him throwing up. When anybody in my family is sick and feels nauseous, I obsess about it and wash my hands constantly and I stay away from that family member because I am so scared of getting sick and throwing up.


I just found out about emetophobia today, and I'm wondering if I suffer from it.
