my first encounter of myself remembering to vomit was when i was about 5 or 6.i had caught a bug and i thought i was dying and ever since that time i have worried about seeing or being sick.....

hey sage - this question is a bit of a problem for me! the first time i ever realised i was properly afraid was when i was 13 when i knew i was about to be sick...however ive always been apprehensive about it when i was younger, u no like between 5 and 10 like all kids are, so im not sure wether i was afraid then or just as apprehensive as any other kid of that age? altho i used to miss school trips and wudnt like stayin at friends houses bcos i didnt like to me away from home, bcos i was scared id become ill and my mum wouldnt be there, but i dont think theres an actual proper defining time for me, maybe ive always had it but didnt notice it properly until the age of 13? i dont know what option to choose. however ill let u read this and u can decide which option u think i would pick, and i wont vote!)

i put 5-6 my mom says she remembers signs and symptoms as early as 3!
And now I\'m glad I didn\'t know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I\'d of had to miss the dance

faith - i'd vote for 5-6 if I were you. sounds like anxiety started back then.
thanks.

My mom says I've always been scared or I used to cry when I didn't feel well, but it hit me hard at 15 with panic attacks, and I think it was caused by a diet, but I don't understand why.....
i never used to be bothered by it..but i remember some kid getting at school and i was reluctant to join the other kids and see it.
i remember thinking back then.."this is unusual, i feel scared" because usually i wud have been interested..
my fear sort of mainifested itself from there onwards..i used to feel very disturbed if i was to encounter *it*
i remember avoiding this kid for *weeks* scared incase he was sick near me.
I wasnt completely phobic under five, but i remember being very afraid one time at a swimming pool when I was afraid that some kid was going to throw up so i wouldnt go in the water. I was 3. So I put down under 5.

I can remember someone in school throwing up when I was 5 but I don't remember my reaction. The first time I remember panicking was when I was about 10 and my brother had the stomach flu.
But I also know that my fear was created when I was 5 with an ipecac incident.
