As an emetophobe for many years, I can't tell you how many times I've driven myself crazy with worry, scared out of mind, because I had either eaten something "iffy" or come in contact with someone who was sick, or terrified of a symptom or pain or feeling in my body.... all the usual fears associated with emetophobia. As I look back, I realize that not ONE TIME has anything I worried about actually happened. What a waste of time and energy that all was!
What about you? Have any of your emetophbic fears ever actually come true? I read so many "panic posts" on this site daily, and I wonder if any of them ever got sick as a result of whatever they were worried about.
