Hey, welcome to the board. Although I can't make these things go away for you it's sometimes good just to know there are others out there who wont put pressure on you and are there to simply listen and give advice. I hope you find this website beneficail. Sometimes it's good to read the positive stories to give you a bit of hope. I know i have come along way since i started out. The more suport you getting the better you'll be aswell.... well thats what i think.

Anyway, thats horrible about your mum and dad and having to be around it so often I had the flu a few weeks ago and was sick, hadn't been in about 3 years. I thought it was ok, i was sick every hour for 14 hours, wasn't nice but i didn't panic too much either. (i'm worse with other people being ill) But it still scares me me being ill. Anyway, i guess it does help a wee bit going through it, but i wouldn't make yourself ill if i where you, not healthy and way too stressful. Its a natural process that happens for a reason.

Anyways, i'm blabbing on here, i shall go now.

Mac41090,


I don't know what to tell you. I have had this fear since I was a teenager. I didn't know what it was called until just recently and I was a nurse for 10 years. I didn't know there was a name for it. I am not keen on labels and really don't like to think of myself as an 'Emetophobic.' However, I can't deny it. I am. I don't know how to fix it either. If I could, I would. Hey, everybody has fears. Some are irrational. I don't fear worms but my mother would faint if she saw one. All the women I work with hate feet, I rub my husbands feet everynight. It's just different strokes for different folks. By the way, I have a fear of heights and I hate to fly too. Don't worry about ending up like us. It's not so bad. I live a normal life. I work, I go out to dinner, I shop, I travel. I'm not like a freak or recluse. I just don't like v* and I avoid it the best I can. There are times when I don't think about it for months at a time. Then there are hard times. Don't worry. My guess is that there are some of your friends out there that have fears just like you.

Hi Mac, welcome to the site! You actually seem to be doing pretty well as the phobia hasn't stopped you from "normal" activities. Go to the treatment thread, sage has a bunch of sticky topics that may help you!
