I only have one other friend with emetophobia, so obviously I feel pretty much like a freak every day of my life. So I'm wondering if the little quirks I do or thoughts I have are normal, so here it goes:

When I get nauseous, I generally pace around my house or back porch, and continuously drink water until it goes away (for some reason I have it in my head water gets rid of nausea)

When I am in class or at a party, or out in public anywhere for that matter, I strategically plan out where I will go if I have to V*

I sometimes think that if I eat less, if I get sick it'll be better because there's not much in my stomach, so I won't be sick for that long (though I never do actually restrict my eating)

If I hear that someone is sick, whether it's just a cold, I fear that they have the stomach virus, and even if I haven't been near them in years, I'm afraid that it's going around and I'm going to get it

I don't like sleeping over at friends because I'm worried about getting nauseous and not being able to pace around the house, or I'll get sick and that's just scary/embarrassing at someone else's house

If I were to get sick, I'd prefer not to use the toilet (I don't know why this is)

If I get diarrhea, I'm afraid that I have it because I've caught a stomach virus

I nauseous just about every day, a lot of times right after I eat ( I don't know if there's something actually wrong with my stomach or if this is a correlation with my phobia)

When I get nauseous, I panic, which makes me even more nauseous, which makes me panic even more, and it's a pretty endless cycle

As much as I love rollercoasters, I'm terrified the entire time I'm in line, in the off-case that I've recently acquired motion-sickness

I won't ride simulated rides because they make me nauseous

I find it more terrifying to be nauseous in a car than anywhere else

Other people V*ing doesn't scare me so much, but I still get nervous that I'll end up getting sick because they are, but it's not really that big of an issue

I don't like people to talk to me when I'm nauseous

If I do get sick, I always want to go to the hospital so they can give me some sort of medication to stop V*ing

I'm afraid of people talking about bloody/gorey/generally disgusting things because I'm afraid for some reason it'll make me V*

If I wake up with a hang-over, I won't eat until I'm absolutely starving, and then I'll get something really small and wait another few hours before having a real meal, and then still panic that I'm going to get sick

If I get too drunk with nausea and the spins, I immediately go to sleep so I can't get sick, which I'm pretty sure is INCREDIBLY dangerous

That's all I can really think of for now...
