Well, I'm not a psychologist, but the idea I'm about to develop sort of makes sense to me... Being sick is like "getting everything out of you" (eww, it's so gross, sorry), and there is no stopping it when it starts, right ? Well, one of my main problems is not being able to express my feelings, and even to admit them to myself. I always keep everything hidden deep inside myself, and I rarely confide in any of my friends (except one that I don't see so often). I feel that if I express my feelings, then people will use them against me, or think I'm weak, or deny these feelings... Do you think my emetophobia might reflect my fear of expressing myself, of getting my feelings out of my own mind ? :S
