In a way I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I have a morbid fear, at times tantamount to impending death. It has got so bad at times where I have considered asking someone to knock me out so I don't have to feel it (I never have or would).
As far as I'm aware we develop fear as a primal survival mechanism, Emetophobia in my experience completely contradicts this idea. If you have read some of my other posts you will learn I struggle with eating as a result of Emetophobia, it has caused me to suffer serious hypoglycaemic attacks where sometimes have resulted in My partner having to call for an ambulance to revive me.
I like you have thought if I ever did develop cancer then I would not consider chemotherapy due to my Emetophobia, I get anxious now around taking new medications.
