Yes, I would be. I'm a dental student and freak out when people gag and this
is definitely not a contagious thing.

But it's not nearly as bad as contagious v*Edited by: junglemonkey

Root treatments do NOT make you more susceptible to immune diseases. IF they do I will eat my hat. The funny thing is that if you need a root treatment, your tooth is full of bacteria anyway, it's...

I'm with hippychick. Most people are bothered by v*ing references and they shouldn't be, a lot of people find it funny lol.


Phobias have a huge, huge range of feared subjects. You can be phobic...

I thought that a couple of months ago but just last night in fact I saw a man v* loudly and explicity across the road and I was completley fine with it.


You can get over this, honestly. Once I...

I have serious IBS. Serious. I never sleep due to it lol, absolute nightmare.

Do you ever hear anyone say "I got sick from putting on lipstick?"


We actually have more bacteria on us than we have human cells. Bacteria are on everything but normally DON'T make us sick. I...

Public bathrooms are really anxiety-provoking for me, one of the worst situations for me, especially in a bar or a restaurant. This is because I HAVE been privy to people being sick in public...

I can't for the life of me figure out what it is about v* I fear. All of those things sounded scary to me though, soI put the whole process.

I'm now average. There was a point when I lost 3 stones in a couple of months and made myself very ill. I just didn't eat, but that's because it was (and still is) extremely painful for me to eat and...

Too true.


If emet was a logical illness, we'd have no problem, because we all fundamentally understand there is nothing harmful or dangerous about v*ing - it's a completley irrational fear....

Diet Coke + Lime, I love it!


My friend Katie. And also Graeme.


My wonderful doctor, who's trying her best for me.


The sunshine + the fact it's warm for the first time in months.

Heyy I used to have similar fears but school knocked it out of me. In my last year there, I had to read a passage out in assembly (300 pupils, and like 20 teachers) and I was so, so nervous before it...

The last I v*d I was 11. I was in class, and I remember feeling very anxious and uncomfortable, and Iasked to go to thebathroom. I stood at the door thinking"am I going to make it?!" then resolved...

I would have no idea on a non-emets perspective but, well, they think it's gross and move on. Probably wouldn't even consider if they would catch it etc.


For me, the anxiety would have been...

Yes that's definitely true. When you avoid something it gives the message to your brain that it IS something to be feared and avoided... I can honestly say I've cut down on the avoidance, for example...

I'm diagnosed with both chronic generalised anxiety disorder and emetophobia. Life's fun smileys/smilies_18.gif

Hmm isn't this then the equivalent of like...peeing or something...Lol... I don't think it would feel the same at all. There wouldn't be any possibility of taste, you wouldn't retch, you wouldn't...

I wasn't abused, but I was bullied. I was always an anxious child and I always thought deeply about things...


I had a few incidents with v* that seem to really have affected me, such as my gran...

I remember three times I v*d when I was younger. The last time was 7 years ago, when I v*ed into a bin in front of my class. I also developed eating problems around this time - my first episode of an...

When I see someone else v*, I just stay. I don't run away, I just have my panic attack and have my moment and I'm much better off for it now.I feel like my whole world iscaving in for a while but it...

....I have listened to the entire program. I enjoy the relaxation session at night for sleeping but further to that, there's very littleit can do for me.

I had really, really bad experiences in school with panic attacks and my teachers. They made fun of me, ridiculed me in class,talked about it behind my back, tried to get me to change my career, said...

I think this is being over-cautious. Who do you ever hear saying "yeah, I caught *insert infection/disease/whatever* cause I ate my lunch at my desk". We are immune to a lot of bugs and I eat lunch...
