Our biggest "sense" with vomit *graphic*

[charzysbebe]

I am very interested in seeing other people's replies to this poll. It may be a bit graphic, but I think it will help us all to understand what it is about vomit that scaresemets; and how many feel the same way!

[charzysbebe]

Ok all....I chose "taste" as my worst part. Although I no longer fear myself vomiting, I still just can't stand the taste!!!! That usually makes me vomit even more!! [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img] Charlotte

id def have to say the nausea and panic are far far worse than anything else. Altho i cant stand the site and sound when it is someone else - at least i can control that and move away/block my ears.

if its me then it happens to quick to worry about sight/sound etc.

I hate the taste too - but since v*ing last year and being alone at 7am and having no mobile and no bottle of water and toothbrush - i just had to 'deal with it' - and i think its the burning afterwards in ur throat that makes the taste 'seem' worse if u know what i mean.....

I voted, but will explain my answer later. I have an appt. I have to get ready for.

I said feeling right before causeif i wasnt panicking or feeling sick right before then there wouldnt be much of a problem. Taste and smell is definately horrible but again if you wernt panicking then there be no problem.....i think

[alliecat]

I chose "vomit is all around bad" because there are three things that I hate most: the taste, the smell and the sensation. Ugh.

I chose "bad all the way around" also, but I think the biggest problem I have with *v* is the lack of control that goes along with it.

I said "all around" too because I can't decide which one I hate most;
the taste, the smell, the sight or the feeling right before.[img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]



Oh, I forgot it; I also hate the lack of control like Jesskali said. If
I'm alone I can cope with it somehow but if there's people around, I
dont want them to see me panicking and bolting.

I voted the feeling right before. I really hate it all around, but that's probably the worst part.

[jazz]

i voted twice, because in truth, i can't put my finger on the worst aspect of vomiting.
Honestly, I despise the sensation you feel beforehand (who doesn't), but the worst aspect for me would have to be the taste *shudder*
yeh, that and the whole "out-of-body" experience who get with throwing up. Maybe that's just what we phobics feel. But i know that i feel completely disoriented when iv either been sick, or if im really feeling bad.
there are also loads of extra things i hate with it.. like the loss of control etc..but im more scared of the physicality of it.

[sydoz]

i put "the feeling right before", but really, it's the feeling of not knowing when it could happen that scares me. not having control over if i v* or not really scares me. I hate things i can't control, especially that. so that feeling right before is a feeling i get all the time, even when i'm not going to get sick. i hate it because i never know when it's real. am i just freaking out or am i really going to v*? there's no way to know until it happens and i hate that so much!

I put the feeling right before, as sometimes I wonder if I have a phobia of VOMIT or if its a phobia of NAUSEA. Hmm..

[sweetfreak]

Definitely the sound for me.

[charzysbebe]

Wow....lots of different aspects! So do you guys think you could handle it like a nonemet if it weren't for what you chose?? (except for "hate it all the way around" group) [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img] Charlotte

[kellybean]

I had to vote twice, that's how much I hate it!!

[vartan_fan]

I voted for '<LABEL for=P229>Vomit is bad all the way around!' everything about it scares the hell out of me[img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]</LABEL>

I definatly could handle it find if not for the feeling right before. However I still would fear others throwing up.

[rcurran]

For me, I mostly fear others vomiting, but I think that it's the sound that scares me the most. It just sounds so horrid. But I do also fear the feeling just be before you do it. But usually I don't worry about that untill it happens. I am constantly worrying if someone around me is going to do it though, because I won't be prepared, I alway have to plug my ears.

[chloe]

Has to be that feeling just before hand - the build up of nausea...everything is BAD but that is prob slightly worse for me that the rest....

[matmysunshine]

I had been giving this alot of thought, and came up with a pretty good conclusion for me. I wanted to try and understand my fear, break it down so that maybe little by little I can conquer it. (I AM PRAYING)


Ok so I fear myself V*****, and others.. but the reason I fear others is becasue I fear that seeing that/ or hearing will then make me V**.. As it is now, it makes my stomach turn, when I hear it, and see it. The smell is bad, but I can hold mynose and move on..So I voted for the Sound..
