i am so happy to learn that this isn't just my pyscho mind and there are others out there....... my "emet" was getting so bad lately i had to look it up....... one thing that helps me is remebering that germs are only passed through : sneezing, coughing, or spiting" ( most of the time and it has to be in ones face" i wanted to know if u think i should tell my mom about this..... cause usally when i'm freaking out about being sick she tells me to cut it out.....

welcome to the forum. i think you should tell your mom about it......she can read parts of this forum.....like the questions & answer section.....really explains emetophobia really well. might help her to understand just how scarey the thought of being sick is for us........

hope you find lots of help, advice and comfort in here.......

keeping your hands washed and away from your face is the best defense for the stomach virus.....

again, welcome

I also think you should tell her. If she knows how bad it is, she might understand more and maybe even help you get some therapy to begin overcoming it. Good luck!
