    Im just curious as to any methods that other emetophobics have come upwith to keep from vomiting when bad nauseated. Ifeel that I have done some extreme things which seem to work so far but am curious as to others measures to avoid it. To be honest,....Im not sure how strong I would be in a situation where I could not control it and wonder to what extreme I would go too......I know that sounds bad. Im new here so the newness has not worn off,....just really weird,...strange,...that other people have this and I guess Im somewhat wondering if they reallllllyyyy have it ........like me. Im not talking about just afraid,.....Would love to find someone toe-mail stories as well,....or just to get to know someone who has this. So far,...I have been the only one my whole life and the only one that anyone knows,...as far as my family and career and friends,.......


    35, married 12 years,...3 children,,,,phobic since age 5 with medical treatment as a child but for "nervous stomach",...never labled as phobia. Even in my teens,..saw several psyc....and they never understood and triedmany ways to find the cause. I grew up in a loving home,....no divorce,...church and strong faith,...mother never worked,....no trigger events,.....

    just a note that I can't move this topic from this section (sorry, but us mods only have rights on some)...but this is totally in the wrong place in case you don't get much reply. It belongs under General Discussion or even Questions & Answers. If you get no response, then perhaps start another topic and forget this thread. Just trying to help.
    For more info about emetophobia and treatment:

    Oh yeah, people on here really have it, just like you. I think that over time as you read posts, you'll soon stop wondering about that.

    Hi,

    My method is to put very cold water on the face and the neck and
    sometimes on the body, i also eat some extra-strong mint candy it makes
    me breath better because the breathing action, here, is very important
    (for me anyway) and i also try to relax althought it might sound
    difficult to do during a V***ting attack.

    Compulsory good manners.
