Hi everybody,
I am a Swiss woman, 39 and I suffer about this phobia since my childhood ( I was 2-3 years old), when my mother was sick and have been afraid so much. Today I ordered the program and I really hope to overcome this fear. The worst thing is hearing someone throwing up.
The phobia became more severe when I was a teenager and once I felt sick ( but did not throw up) in a plane and my phobia turned to a social phobia : fear to throw up in the presence of other people, fear to smell the vomit in toilets, fear to see and hear someone throwing up. It is recently that I learned that my phobia has a name and I am surprised to read that this is one of the most common phobias.
I like travelling a lot but because of the fear that increased so much, I cancelled trips in last minute and I had the fear of flying far away from my home and the fear to be in presence of vomit in a plane. Because in a plane it is impossible to escape !...
Now I want to face to my phobia with the program. I do not avoid eating some food but I have always some drugs at home to fight nauseas.
I remember when my mother was out for dinner with friends, I went to a hotel when I started working and had money to pay the room.
I appreciate to share with you
Simone
