Hey there.
I decided to finally research my phobia that I've been dealing with for over ten years now, and the Wikipedia trail led here. I have to say, it's really interesting seeing actual faces of people who suffer from the same thing I do. There are germ-phobics everywhere, but I've never really met a true emetophobic, or at least one that would admit it.
Anyway, I'm a 20 year old college student from Oregon. From reading the FAQ and a lot of the posts here, it looks like I experience the same old symptoms everyone does. I think my phobia might have started when I nearly choked to death on hard candy when I was five or six years old. Ironically, it was v* that saved my life there. Somehow, that developed into a conscious fear. Funny how the brain works sometimes.
Just thought I'd introduce myself. hopefully this is the right section to post in.
