I'd just like to say how happy I am that I'm not alone. Although I am sad that so many other people feel the way I do, it's relieving to know there is someone who understands.
I've been living with this fear for what seems like forever. I'm 18 years old, and can't remember a time when I haven't been so afraid of being nauseous or v*ing. But now I'm noticing how debilitating it has become. I've started college, and I feel like I'm missing out. I don't go to parties because I'm afraid of drunk people throwing up near me or even in the same house as me. Also, I've never drank in my life because I'm afraid if I have one drink, it will make me sick.
That's not even the worst fear. The one that really tears me up is the fact that as of now, I will never have kids. Not like I want them now, but someday, I will be way to afraid of morning sickness, or getting sick from the pain of labor, to even consider trying to have a kid. And even if i adopt, there's still the fact that I wouldn't be able to care for my child when they are sick. That would be terrible
Anyway, I know this is long. But I just needed to finally let it all out, I feel a lot better now that I finally have.

it sucks doesnt it. i was so scared to drink. everyone always wondered why i never would. dont know what im gonna do for my 21st!! but college is great. once you get used to the lifestyle and atmosphere, it wont be so bad. sure there will be times when the odd person could be sick, but cross that bridge when you come to it! having a child someday scares me to death as well. i wont know how to handle it to the point where i would just skip that stage of my life altogether, so im with ya on that one!! welcome to the forum
