    hello, im very new to this forum stuff. well anyways, i was searching around for fear of vomiting because constantly i worry about it. i dont actually vomit, but i just worry about it every minute of my life practically. and well, i found this forum so i decided to try it out. in february, i vomited because of a bug that i got, and i have been obsessed with not vomiting ever since. i havent done it in years and then i did and now im crazy over it. in the beggining, after i had vomited in feb, i kept feeling nausious so i went to the doctor. they found nothing wrong with my stomach, though. then, it started getting bad. i was up all night just sitting and worrying because i thought i was going to. my heart starts to race and it just makes me feel even more sicker. one of my friends had told me that they think its all in my head, so i searched for the fear and here i am.


    i dont know what to do about it anymore. it makes me feel like im going nowhere in my life if im constantly fearing this when i never really actually do it.[img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

    Hey there.. I just wanted to let you know that I am new here too! but your not alone. I have suffered from this phobia for about 12 years now and it consumes my everyday life. I just wish I could be normal like everyone else.. but I am going to therapy now. I just started a couple weeks ago.. we will see how that goes.


    Take care hun!

    Hi Valencia, welcome to the site. I was just wondering, is your phobia new? Did it only start in February after the bug? If so, I was wondering what made that episode any worse than others you might have had. If you have only just started with it, see if you can get help asap - there is help out there and it would be great if you didn't have to suffer long term.
