Time for me to jump in!

I am new here, kind of. I have been browsing these forums since July
2006 believe it or not after researching randomly, 'fear of vomit' on
google. I really wanted to know what the heck my problem was, and well,
I find I am not alone and it made me feel so good I had to laugh out loud.

I don't know what triggered this fear in me, I have just had it ever since I
can remember. I am a classic emet; hate seeing it, hearing it, smelling it,
or doing it!

I have had to face classic emet fears, I have been thrown up on, by
strangers (On my birthday too!). by my daughter, by my husband when
he
was sick; and like many of you I have had to clean it up from the ones I
love. It is a fear we must face almost everyday it seems. Especially those
of us with family or children. I have also been pregnant! Three times. I
miscarried number one had a beautiful daughter in November 2007,
and am 14 weeks in with number 3!
I have managed not to do the dreaded act with this pregnancy as hard as
it has been. I was not so lucky with my daughter unfortunately.

It is funny how when it happens and is over, we think "Hey I did it! It
wasn't nice but it wasn't that bad." Then the next day we're petrified of
doing it again.

I am happy to be here and able to share my woes with others, and
encouragement and seriously hope that someday we'll be walking free of
this fear before we all pass away, who's with me?

I've never experienced having someone else v* on me, but my gosh, it's such a frightening idea I can't even imagine how I'd react to it.

But welcome!

Let's just say when it happened the people at the skating rink likely thought
I was an escaped mental patient. I guess for an emet having it happen to
them from my own personal experience, you feel like you completely lose it
and there is no controlling yourself, from the inside at least, maybe not
outwardly. All you care about at that point is getting yourself cleaned and
away from the scene as fast as you can. Most emets would probably shove
the devil himself down to get as far away from that happening as possible.

Thank you for the welcome. I can say I am a survivor of that nightmare! I
believe anyone could survive it at this point, though I wouldn't wish such on
my worst enemy.

Ugh. It happened at a skating rink? I'm a figure skater. I do remember and one arena there was yellowish stuff on the ice and I started shaking and refused to skate on that end of the ice and my coach thought I was crazy.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.
