Alright, i just registered for this site so im a newbie. I am 16 years old and have been suffering with this for about 10 years. I never used to have it I remember once my two older brothers had a stomach bug and they were up all night vomiting and so i stayed up with them i was so calm and honestly never cared but then like a year later my mum told my brother to eat his tomato on his plate and when he did he made such a horrid sound and started vomiting it was horrific, thats when it started to affect me. The when I was about 7/8 i vomited at about 2/3am because i had to much tortilla chips and that was the final straw from then on i was absolutely terrified that it would happened again. When someone mentions that there about to vomit i cant help but literally move away from them so fast its like a tick. One my brother said he was going to throw up in the leisure centre and i literally ran outside and was about to run away i was so scared he did end up vomiting and we had to take the car home so i just put my earphones in and closed my ears tightly. I honestly hate this phobia its controlling my life i heard that when you have children and they get sick the phobia goes because its a different relationship with kids but im still scared, i havent told my family or friends because it is honestly embarrassing and i know for a fact my brother would make fun of me. Im happy i found this site because this time last year i thought i was the only one who had this phobia.
