I am having a really hard time with my emetophobia and anxiety right now. My first husband did not understand this at all, and I think my fears had something to do with our break-up. I'm married again, and I know my husband just does not understand this. I have also spoken on the phone with a couple of psychologists, and they have never even heard of ths phobia! I don't understand that as everywhere I look, emetophobia is in the top 10 phobias. My question is, how do you get people to understand what this is like for us? I have tried explaining it to my husband, and I would really like him to understand how I feel.
