I'm 14 years old and I've been emetophobic for half my life...I'm really weird, though, because I only fear bomiting when it is from an illness, or I am not the one 'controlling' it. I actually am recovering from bulimia, which is so weird, i know, because I'm also emet. But they are completely different things...it is completely different when you are the one controlling your v*.
When I feel like I am going to throw up I have these horrible panic attacks and I freak out completely. It has also made me scared to go on planes, and cruises...It is controlling my life!!!
