YES!!!! God, yes. That’s my biggest fear. Everyone seems to think it’s super weird. One of my friends asked, “Why would you be afraid of that?! That’s like being afraid to poop. You’re not afraid to do that, are you?!” Hahah. I don’t think it’s as irrational as people think it is!
I haven’t thrown up in 7years, and I’d rather die than throw up. It’s insane!
I don’t think I’ll ever overcome it.
Best of luck overcoming it though!

Fear Of Vomiting – What Are The Symptoms?
Fear Of Vomiting, also known as Emetophobia, is a psychological problem. Being such, the symptoms are usually related to one’s behavior rather than physical concerns. Individuals suffering from emetophobia are very likely to observe the following conditions in themselves:
1. You can’t stand the thought of vomiting.
The mere suggestion that you may vomit if you eat something or do a certain activity is enough to put a knot in your stomach and an irrational fear in your head. As such, you’ll try to avoid anything that may induce you to vomit at all cost.
2. You don’t like to be near babies and children.
Babies and children tend to vomit a lot. And since you can’t stand the sight of it, you prefer not to be in any close contact with them either at work or at home. This means you don’t want to be in schools, play ground, or nurseries. And it isn’t surprising if you don’t like to have children yourself.
3. You don’t attend social activities.
Social activities whirl around alcohols, beverages, and drinks. It is also a place where people can get so drunk and vomit. These instances don’t appeal to you much. So instead of seeing somebody vomit, you’d rather stay home and watch TV.
4. You don’t like eating out.
Eating out, whether with your friend or loved one, is not an option for you. Eating out means you’ll eat somebody else’s prepared meals. And because you aren’t sure what’s in it, you won’t eat because you don’t want to run the risk of throwing up.
These are just a few symptoms observed in an emetophobic. If you feel like these at any point, it is best that you seek help right away.
Is there a cure?
First of all, I’ve gone through a pretty bad case of emetophobia myself. I tried all of the treatment options available, which included hypnotherapy, cognotive behaviour therapy, anti-emetic medications, and desensitization, over a course of 2 years. Nothing was working for me. I had to get rid of this debilitating fear, this fear of vomiting. It had gotten to the point that it was ruining my life!
The only that worked for me, after what has now been over 4 years of trying different forms of treatments in hopes of curing my emetophobia, was the Emetophobia Eraser program. My fear of vomiting was “erased” only one month into the program. The thing I liked most about the program was that it involved a completely natural approach to treating my Emetophobia, and it was very easy to follow – thank god, no more anti-emetics for me!
I have so far been completely cured of my emetophobia for about 17 months now, and couldn’t be happier. I highly, highly recommend Emetophobia Eraser to anyone and everyone who is suffering from this debilitating fear.

Question by flowers8615: How do i cope with emetophobia?
(Photo credit: ScottHernandez)
About two months ago I started with it again, and it is back worse than ever. I don’t know how to cope with it – i don’t remember what i did before. I can manage to eat when im at home, but when i am out it’s so hard. Work is extremely difficult for me as i spend most of the day thinking about how i feel and how stressed i am. I need to keep going to work and fight through it, because if i start skipping days at work i know my nerves will get worse and i have a mortgage to pay etc. I am on the waiting list to see that guy i saw before (can’t afford to go private) but that could be weeks. How do i cope until then?
If you have this phobia please reply to me and let me know how you cope and what i can do.
Thank you

I too am a suffering emetophobic, and it is no picnic. There is a medicine called compazine that helps with anxiety and prevents nausea/vomiting. That is the best recommendation that I have for you. Also, here is a website devoted to emetophobics like us, who can offer support and advice. Good luck to you. =o)

Emetophobia pregnancy – Symptoms during pregnancy
(Photo credit: storyvillegirl)
Being born, two emotions are within us: love and fear. These are natural emotions not connected to what we learn or experience later on in life. As we get older the two emotions act in different ways. With love, we gradually learn to hide that pure emotion behind guards and masks. We create barrier, after barrier, after barrier, hiding our pure love from the world.
With fear it is the opposite. When we are born we fear only two things, loud noises and falling. We are taught fear. When a baby is crawling and watches his mother scream at the top of her lungs and kill a spider with a large object, the baby absorbs the mother’s reaction and interprates the spider as a treat. We take on the fears of others and then we interperate them through our own experiences.
For example, a child interperates his fear of falling through the experience of falling from a tree and hurting himself. He now connects his fear of falling with the experience of pain and the knowledge that this pain could be experienced again. We also develop fears from our own unique experiences, for example if a child is attacked by a dog on the street this could teach him to be afraid of dogs.
Emetophobia works in the same way. A child observes her parent’s discomfort when they vomit; when she catches a stomach flu at age 8 this fear of vomiting is magnified by their own personal experience. She now associates her fear of being sick with pain and trauma. Alternatively, this overwhelming fear could have developed through her experiences alone. For example, she gets an awful case of food poisoning; this trauma results in a fear of vomiting which extends into adulthood. This fear backed up by experience grows and exands over time leading people with emetophobia having a phobic fear of vomiting.
The conflict between love and fear is one that we feel every day, but for an emetopobic pregnant or a woman wanting to be pregnant this inner conflict is devastating. Emetophobia and pregnancy causes huge problems for them. There is no purer love than a mother has for her child, it fills her entire body. Nothing can compare to the feeling of holding her baby in her arms and looking into its eyes for the first time, it is beyond words. Everything within her is focused on the connection of love she feels for her baby. So to be denied this is heart breaking.
Her fear of being sick and other symptoms of emetophobia feels like a brick wall that goes up as far as the eye can see, she feels it cannot be climbed over or broken through, but she needs the pure love connection she has with her child on the other side of the wall so desperately. She may want to get pregnant but her fear will not allow the pregnancy to happen, or she may already be pregnant but the panic and anxiety is overwhelming her. She lives in constant state of tension, she wants to be the best mother she can be, but her fear drags her into a bottomless pit of negativity.
The chains of emetophobic fear can be broken and the love she has for her child is within reach. The brick wall of her fear was created by her own mind, just as she placed each brick, she can remove each brick. Her love is stronger than her fear. She can use the pure love she feels for her child to motivate her mind to break down the brick wall of fear that her emetophobia causes. Her mind created the fear and her mind is more than capable of destroying it. By visualizing this love before and during her pregnancy, by the time she holds her baby in her arms, her fear will not even register. The love she feels for her baby is so overwhelming that her emetophobic fear will not even cross her mind.

Get over emetophobia and stop dealing with it
I say that it doesn’t matter what emetophobia is, there are hundreds of articles online repeating over and over the same scientific definition of what emetophobia is. If you are emetophobic you don’t care about definitions! All you care about is how it’s affecting your life and how living with emetophobia can be a nightmare.
Most people don’t understand phobias until they suffer from one. It’s hard for “normal people” to understand how lonely you can feel when you cannot share your most inner fears with anyone. Imagine what it is to really be supported by your life partner, by friends and by all your family, to know that they are there for you no matter what.
If you are like most emetophobics this may bring a tear to your eyes, how could you tell your life partner about this fear? How could you tell your friends about it? Don’t even think about telling your boss or your work colleagues! That would be impossible and life destroying right?
Wrong!
The reason that you may feel alone is that you are hiding in an invisible prison, building the walls higher every day. That prison is your secret, every new day that you hide your phobia from others is like a new brick that you add to the wall. The more you store your emetophobia in a “safe” hidden place, out of other people’s sight, the more you isolate yourself and the more lonely you will feel.
Telling others about your condition is not as hard as it may sound. Here’s a step by step technique to share your fears and phobias with others. Chose somebody you feel the most comfortable with, either because they are close to you or because you’ve never met them before, this is up to you.
Start talking about somebody else’s fear. It could be this article that you are reading. Say that I’m afraid of running out of money at some point. Now you have an excuse to tell them about me, tell them that you were reading this article about this guy who was afraid of running out of money and you started to think about fears.
Ask them about what they are afraid of. Once they tell you their fears it’s time for you to share your fear. You may find that they have shared a fear that seems silly for you, maybe they even had to stretch themselves more than you did to tell you about it. Who knows? Say that it may sound weird but there’s a whole story behind it.
Tell the whole story: I’m sure you know each “incident” you had in your life, make a time-line of all the events that contributed to your fear and tell the other person the whole story.
By the end of your story you will have become much closer to the person you confided to. Confiding something personal with somebody creates a deep connection between people. This is an old trick used by many sales people to connect to unknown people on the spot.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve known the other person forever or if you just met them, the fact that you opened yourself to share your story is guaranteed to have a positive effect. By opening yourself to others you can successfully break your loneliness wall and live a happier life.

Have Emetophobia? Learn how to share your fears blog post part 1
Every day you go by and keep your emetophobia a secret from your friends and family, is a victory for emetophobia. This may sound like an odd statement, but by keeping your emetophobia secret you isolate yourself. You sever the connection and support that you could have and everyday your mind tells you, you are different from those around you. You probably already know this fact but are perhaps scared to death that if you do tell someone they will not understand or even worse dismiss your fear.
I want to share with you in this blog is that I do not think this is the case. Yes, you are probably correct in thinking the fact you have emetophobia is unusal, but fears in general are not. Everyone has them. For many years I battled with a fear of money, picked up during my childhood from my father. Although this does not seem as life altering fear as emetophobia it did land me in a pile of debt by my mid 20s (most of the debt from stupid things like escalating late fees). It actually took a very difficult conversation with my mother to force me to start dealing with my fear. Before this point I just avoided the issue and ‘mislead’ friends and family in regards to how serious my money situation was.
So how does this help you talk to a loved one about your emetophobia? You can connect to people on a fear level. I know this sounds a little like a bad reality show, but by this I mean you can initially discuss your emetophobia in terms of how the fear makes feel, rather than the symptoms. My fear of money has given me an understanding of constant dark shadows at the back of my mind, a sense of panic, fighting what seems like an overwhelming battle and avoiding dealing with the root problem. I also have an understanding of negative behavior you embrace to avoid this fear and the impact it can have on your own life.
What I am saying is, if you spoke to me about these elements of your fear, as someone who has had an incredibly common fear such as the fear of money (check out debt commercials…it’s a very common fear!), then why are you so sure that whoever you decided to speak to would not understand. Granted they probably will not have dealt with the actual symptoms of emetophobia but they will probably have a personal understanding of the effects of fear.
So open up to someone, discuss their fears first if it makes it easier, do not be so quick to think that they will not understand you. Sharing your secret is a huge victory in your battle against emetophobia and a huge step towards overcoming it. Take that step today and share your fears.
Emetophobia help – How to overcome emetophobia blog part 1
emetophobia (Photo credit: allison marisa)
It is not always easy to tell if someone around you needs help, often when it is something serious people become very, very good at hiding it. This is the case with providing emetophobia help (the fear of vomiting). Emetophobics are very good at hiding their phobias; also when people notice one of the main symptoms of emetophobia, food restriction or other noticeably ‘different’ eating habits, they tend to assume it is an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia. Because often, the first step to someone overcome emetophobia is sharing their fears, I have put together some tips which will help you identify if someone around you is exhibiting emetophobia symptoms and needs your support and understanding.
Ask: try and talk to someone about it. You can have a few different reactions, this maybe the opportunity they have been looking for to share or they could completely freeze up on you. Alternatively they may give you a speech which sounds a little too pre rehearsed, it could sound a bit forced to you. Whichever way, their reaction may give you the indication you need..
Watch: Keep an eye on how the person reacts to what would be an everyday situation. Is there an overt reaction to issues like food near is expiration date?
Invite: Can you see avoidance of situations, when you invite the person to an event like swimming or eating out do you get a consistent no? What kind of reasons do they give? It may be an indication of emetophobic avoidance.
Trigger: Try and see the person’s reaction to things. For example eat a potato chip from their plate; does this make the person look ill, do they refuse to eat the meal, is their face filled with disgust? If you are going to attempt to trigger a response, do be careful that you are not taking it too far, the way you test someone could mean hours or days of hellish discomfort for an emetophobic.
It sounded impossible the first time I heard about it. I was losing my teeth because of constantly sucking strong mints. I was taking too many antacids and indigestion pills. I was unable to go to the dentist because I was afraid of catching a virus or the flu. My life was a mess and I didn't think there was a solution for me. I was trapped.
It was another emet who told me: If you follow this program, it will really help. I feel remarkably calm now. I am not concerned about it, I honestly feel like "if it happens again, it happens"
I had been struggling with this phobia for years and finally decided it was time to'invest' in my recovery so I started the program that same day. I'm much more calm now and learned so much about emetophobia and myself, I don't react the same way anymore and my life has gotten much better.
If you are reading this blog and you are still trapped, know that you are not alone and that many of us have overcome it via this program.
I eat more indiscriminately since following it, I eat whatever tastes good, without worrying about it. So all in all, things are better. I will always hate vomiting because it's gross and feels yucky, but it doesn't plague my life.
If you are at a point where you WANT to overcome your phobia and you would rather be free of this phobia for ever, then follow the program and it will change your life. Period.
