Apologies if this has been posted before.
Anyway, I'm curious to hear if you have any other phobias? If so, what?
Besides emetophobia, I have social phobia and a phobia of injections. Interestingly enough, they're both connected to my emetophobia.

I have a phobia of death which is horrid! Anytime someone gets sick I worry its something dreadful and look for all sorts of things that aren't there!
Also clowns....damned Stephen king!!!! Lol
Oooh also the dentist, fruit pastels and fish and chips on a Monday! I *v when I was 13 after having done all of them and have never done them on a Monday since! Yep I know I sound crazy!
Oh no! I'm guessing you've seen IT then? D: After watching that film, I've been scared of clowns. You're not crazy at all by the way! I avoid listening to a certain song because I remember I was listening to it when I had my last SV*.

RLS1994, all the same as you, as well as certain letters and numbers.
The ONLY good clown is a dead clown! Mine fear of clowns didn't come from Stephen King, but when I was younger and a clown got in my face.
Oh, and I know this sounds really silly and stupid, but Loons. Those birds/ducks scare the CRAP out of me!!! The call they make! Yeah, I have watched too many scary movies and they ALWAYS have a loon call!!!!!!!! *Shudder* just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end!!!!!
Closed in spaces! I am awful!!!!!
I'm not a fan of moving heights... not a phobia per say but a strong dislike. Like I don't like those sky lift things or swinging bridges etc.

I don't like to be flipped upside down unexpectedly. (Weird that would ever come up, but I'm tiny. lol). I'm afraid I'll V. Ironically enough, as a baby I'd eat upside down, and I spend yyears in gymnastics.

Escalators and heights.
Heights. Anything else stems from my emet, social settings, elevators, doctors, working, eating at restaurants, airplanes, boats, traveling..all fears I have, but they all come back to my sv* fear. I'm basically not functioning at times.
luckily i only have emetophobia now, until i was 15/16 years old i had irrational fears of needles, travelling on aeroplanes and travelling on trains, shows how much things have changed since i now work on the railway
I wouldn't say this is a phobia, but more a fear. I hate sting rays SO much. If I see one on TV (good on ya David Attenborough lol) I sometimes just look at it with disgust. I think it's because one day I went for a swim and put my goggles on and was soon face to face with a sting ray... which is a shame as I live on the coast in Australia and they seem to be in abundance haha.

I have a very strong aversion to needles and anything that has to do with veins haha. I can't even take my own pulse without freaking out. It grosses me out intensely and makes me shiver. You can imagine my excitement when I have to get my blood taken :/
Emetophobia seems to be the strongest but apart from that the only other fears I have are of Injections and Flying/Heights. I had to have an MRI of my Heart which most people were scared of because of the confined space and being claustrophobic but I was terrified of the injection of the end which had to be into my veins to inject dye in my system (sorry if it's graphic!) and then I had to have a filling in March which involved a needle in which I wasn't aware of until literally the last minute when I was at the Dentist, I postponed the appointment until June and when I went back I saw the needle and couldn't do it again! I felt so ridiculous but the sight of it just knocked me back, I was set another date for July which would be after my holiday in Spain and I thought I'm just going to have to get on with it and get it done whether I like it or not so when I went for my appointment, I just closed my eyes and didn't feel a thing. I was so relieved that it was over since it had been hanging over me for months!
Then with Flights/Heights kinda roll into one, I just get wary when taking off as superstitious thoughts enter my mind but I've noticed I'm more relaxed about it recently, I'm going on a 9 hour flight in March which I'm kinda looking forward to since I've always had a good time on those flights, plus it's too Florida which I absolutely love so it's totally worth it!
So yeah basically just those. Kinda got carried away!

I have social phobia and agoraphobia
Not really. I used to be terrified of heights and speaking in public, but I worked very hard and those are no longer even fears for me. Although, I feel if I was truly over my fear of heights, I could skydive or bungee jump, but those still seems very scary to me. All my other fears, I have mostly been able to take head on and conquer. I am working on this one. I no longer run away when my kids v* instead I run toward and tend to think the worst, but I am working on that. I used to be afraid of spiders and bugs, but I do pretty well now - unless the are the size of the palm of my hand or larger. Then, I still get nervous. I really don't like snakes or barking dogs. I'm good with clowns. They aren't funny, but they have never scared me.
i have a weird anxiety about my teeth. i dont think this is terribly uncommon, but i always have nightmares where my teeth fall out. i hate going to the dentist and having them poke around at my teeth. i also dont like heights or flying very much.
OH. and i hate bugs. especially any that bite/sting
in recent years ive become scared of flying. i used to love it, but now i get really light headed during take off and anding and it scares the hell out of me. i also dread needing the toilet on a plane or beng ill on a plane or someone else v*ing. Also I dont like insects.
I'm very anxious in almost all social interactions. Meetings at work, and doctors appointments are especially anxiety provoking. I am pretty well completely over emetophobia, but the social anxiety just won't go away.

Mine wouldn't really be a phobia, well I dunno.. I can't handle someone putting their hands around my neck. Like not even gently or as a teasing thing- it completely terrifies and panics me. I have no clue why.. might be related to my asthma and this whole issue with not always being able to breathe when I want to??
