Hi, New

[loops]

Didnt realise this many people suffered with the phobia.
Im 19, my dad was a frequent drinker when I was a child and threw up every time he got drunk. I think thats where Ive got the phobia from. Im not sure.
I have both types, I panic if I think Im going to be sick and I panic if other people feel or be sick.
My reaction to it is severe. Panic attacks, crying, disorientation, sometimes I can seem as if Im having a mental breakdown, to anyone looking in on it and not knowing me well the whole reaction is severly frightening. Needless to say I havent been sick in 11 years.
Only problem being Im now in love with my boyfriend and we plan to move in together. But theres a big problem. He has many health problems and tends to throw up on a regular basis. Its happened when Ive been round there and I cant help but panic. Ive ran out the house, and completely cant cope with it. I dont know what to do

he isnt bad, I dont think he really understood how bad I was untill he was violently ill whilst I was in the room. He knows Im carefull what I eat and that I didnt "like" people throwing up. But didnt understand the severity of it untill recently.

I find it really difficuilt to cope with, I dont like entering pubs or hospitals, anywhere anyone might be ill. I avoid any contact with people who say they feel sick. i have to leave the floor they are on at least, if not the house all together. being with a partner who has such a problem and also working in a restaurant ( yes it has happened). being at uni, and having younger siblings has all been a major issue. Im petrified of whats going to happen when I start work ( Want to be in the police (drug users/ alcohol ) and because of the way I am its starting to make me think Id be no good at it.
My biggest concern is the future, children and how I would deal with them. I seem to be fine with babies but anyone who v*s like an adult does I have the same reaction.
