When I was 10 years old, my aunt used to pretend like she was about to throw up. I mean she would gag, cry and grab my arms begging for me to help her and when I would cry she would hug me and start laughing....Who does this?

However,.....looking at the positive.....

I am now 52 and have been through so much that I probably would've turned to alcohol and drugs. The only reason why I never indulged was because of the fear of throwing up.
So, in some strange way, I truly believe this phobia has saved me from a lot of things. Don't get me wrong, this phobia is real!
