i am 22 and have been struggling with this since the 3rd grade. i had a bad night last night and decided to look up emetophobia. i am amazed to see how many people are going through exactly what i am. and it really does help to read about it. i have a fever and a bad headache and stiff neck. was up most of the night totally freaking out that i was going to v*. i made it through the night and had to go to work. i still feel horrible, but i think i have passed the stage of possibly being sick like that. at least that is what helps me calm down. try to rationalize something like that. mind over matter or something along those lines. i think i realized that i wasemetophobic over last summer. i lost 25 pounds by basically not eating for a few months. i was terrified every day that i was going to be sick. totally irrational. it started to interfere with work and stuff. i would be in the restroom for over an hour at a time just panicking, when really i was okay when i finally calmed myself down. i seem to go through ups and downs struggling with this. i just wish i wasn't so freaked out all of the time. it's hard to tell if i am actually nauseous or am only making myself feel that way. thank you for listening to whomever decided to read this.
