(New Member) Glad I'm not the only one :)

I have suffered from being scared of v*t since I was in the 3rd grade, but I am not entirely sure what triggered my fear other than the fact that I had classes with a boy who vomited all the time. When someone throws up, I do all of the following: run out of the room, shake violently, and cry. Yesterday, I went to my fiance's family's Easter dinner and one of his little cousins vomited all over the place. I immediately wanted to go home and didn't want to stay any longer. I was anxious the entire time that he would do it again and that it would be on me. I also didn't want him anywhere near me, which I feel terrible admitting.

I want to get help so that I am better about handling my own children vomiting someday. I don't want to be a bad parent/fiance when either of them get sick. I feel like such a big baby when I get freaked out about vomiting. I am so ashamed to admit that I am scared of vomit. I am so glad that I am in such good company. That helps a lot!

Hey (: Welcome to IES! I totally understand what you mean about feeling anxious about when you have your own children someday and dealing with them when they are unwell! This is one of the set backs that I have, although Im nowhere near ready to plan a family it's always hindered my thought of having children in the future! *Massive Hugs* Your exactly like me when someone v* near you, run out, start shaking and crying as well as rocking back and fourth with my hands over my ears- not a pretty look! Try not too feel ashamed about being emetophobic, we are all here for you All in the same boat together! I hope this website helps you as much as it has helped me x
