I have emetophobia. I've had it since I was 4-5, It all started because I was having a sleepover with my best friend at the time. She had been eating snacks all day and wasn't feeling very well, well in the middle of the night she woke me up with four words: " I just threw up" I had to get her parents while she was over the toilet and they just told her to sleep in her sisters bed. I was afraid that it would happen again so I slept on the floor. Every time she coughed during the night I jerked awake,scared,cold and shaking, hoping she wouldn't throw up again. Ever since then, when someone else gets sick or says " I feel sick" I will start sweating, feel sick, and I will close my eyes and plug my ears so I don't hear or see anything..and worry so much that I'll almost cry. When I feel sick, I have a mini panic attack. I shake, I can't sleep, and I'm constantly checking my temperature to see if I have a fever. It's horrible 😣

I have emetiphobia. I have the fear of: -Vomiting -Seeing vomit -Hearing/saying the words -Someone saying they don't feel well I do the association thing too. One day Instead of sitting on the couch I sat on the floor in front of the couch, and I got sick that day. Every time I sit like like it scares me. I was in a protest that day too, and I am scared of that sign, I even didn't use one of my blankets that touched the sign. The phobia even prevents me from eating on days I don't feel good. Even writing don't feel good in this comment gave me anxiety. I literally didn't eat meat for a year because I was scared of salmonella. When I don't feel good, I feel so scared I don't tell anyone, I just sit, for hours on end, just sitting, not eating. The year I had the flu I was so scared. One time, it was so extreme, that my aunt was sick, I wouldn't even walk on the path she took. If she walked past the oven and to the garage door to the car, I go around the house and through the front door. I even held my breath near sick people. This is the most relatable video ever. I feel your pain.

This is actually very accurate! When I was 14, I hadn't thrown up in about 4 years and it made my fear of sick, a huge anxiety. It got worse over the next few years to the point of losing many many nights of sleep. I am now nearly 20 and have been ill 3 times since (2 self indulged). Right now I am in the best place I have ever been. Trust me, you just think 'oh my god that was nothing! why was i worrying' and it makes the next time easier and the next time even easier. Just yesterday, after having too much to drink I literally just woke up and tried to lay there and contain the nausea, the moment I realised it wasn't going to happen I made the decision to get up and get it over with. That is the biggest achievement for me because if you saw me those years before, I was a wreck even thinking of it. I'd rather have died. Exposure I believe is the way which nobody wants to hear- Trust me I know! Of course it is not pleasant but facing it is the only time that you will literally think to yourself, what on earth was I so scared of. (I too was one of those people who wasn't triggered by words or videos / photos. Just the experiencing it)

This is the first video I've ever watched about Emetophobia and it's actually very comforting to know someone else feels the exact way I do. The reason I started searching for videos on this is because I had a panic attack last night due to my mouth watering which is what happens when I get sick. I didn't feel sick at all but small symptoms like that trigger full on anxiety and cause my body to shake. I've had emetophobia for as long as I remember, I used to wake up in the middle of the night crying as a kid when my stomach would so little as make a sound or bubble because I thought I was going to get sick. I have to leave the room when others get sick, I get anxious for months and months after I get sick and it's funny cause I don't get sick often at all. My advice for people that struggle with this is go through a checklist in your mind: I have been through this before. I have survived every single time. It's going to be okay. Anyways, thank you so much for making this video it was very helpful.

Alex O this is very similar to me because I don't get overly anxious when I vomit, but I just can't handle it when other people vomit around me. For me, the trigger is everything involving vomit; the noise, the smell, the actual vomit, etc. Fortunately, my family doesn't vomit very often and when they do they usually keep it quiet from me because they know I'll have a panic attack and that I'll be traumatized.

I have emetophobia myself and for a few months now it has made my life quite difficult. This may sound quite weird, but whenever I feel anxious (sometimes I feel sick for days) I think about people who had the stomach bug or who had to throw up, but they’re still alive and they didn’t die. I know I sound like a crazy person, but I do know that it‘s just in my head and if I might have a bug - so what, I can’t change it anyways.🤷🏼‍♀️ My aim in life is to overcome emetophobia and start enjoying life more, live more and worry less. To be sick isn’t something to worry about, because it will be over sooner than you think and in the end it’s just your body protecting you. People say the first step into the right direction is to admit that your brain is playing games with you - and that’s exactly where we all have to start. Our body just wants the best for us and those few minutes spent vomiting won’t kill us! I hope this comment helped a little bit, let’s just all fight together and kick emetophobia in the a**💪🏼 Do you also have those moments of absolute strength and will to fight the phobia?😃🙈

U GO GIRL! Let’s fight it together

I witnessed my bff vomit twice today in my house. I walked to her and saw she had thrown up on. The floor, I ran into the corner on my living room (not the same room she threw up in) and walked back in forth crying and shaking infront of my dad, mom and my bff, I couldn’t get the image out of my mind and kept have flash backs. She went home and I was scared to touch anything that she touched so my mom cleaned almost everything... she even asked me to come to the grocery with her just to get out for a while and forget it, but people with this terrible phobia understand that it isn’t so easy to just ‘forget’. She asked me in the car, “did you see anything?” And I nod and immediately started crying my eyes out. I still can’t get rid of this fear... any advice that helps? I feel like I’ve tried everything.

My friend gave me my markers and I got to sit behind her desk and she gave me some of her tissues.That day traumatizes me.

It's interesting what you said about emetephobia being one of the worst because it's out of your control. Mine definitely springs from hating being out of control of situations, and especially with my own body. I've had emetephobia since I was a child. At one point I thought I wouldn't be able to have children because of my fear of not coping. I do know have three children and have had my fair share of emetephobic experiences since. I really want to vlog about it one day but at the moment I find it hard to talk about.

Same, it’s almost like a confirmation that your going to get sick

Warning! Might be triggering! I know that I'm here really late but thank you for your video. I'm 16 and I didn't know that something like that exists before watching this. When I was younger, like 7 years old I had really strong symptoms of that phobia. It all started when I was on vacation with my parents and cousin. We were sleeping in a tent and one night I got sick and in the middle of the night and had to run out of the tent barefoot and you know... It was absolutely terrifying. I cried while throwing up, begged it to stop and tried to keep it inside. It was so traumatic that I couldn't sleep for the next few months after we got back. I was panicking every night, refusing to go to bed without having this huge plastic bowl (?) near and I was constantly swallowing saliva to the point where my tongue was dry and hurt. It was a really hard time in my life and it continued for about a year. Fear stayed for much longer. I still remember what food caused this and I can recall all of the feelings. Little me promised herself not to throw up ever again. The "funny" thing is that the night after I got sick my cousin did exactly the same except that he had thrown up all over our place and it was so scary that after that accident I couldn't bring myself to speak to him for a long time. All of my elementary school I was absolutely terrified of bus rides. I was getting so stressed before our class was going somewhere that the only thing that I could think about before a trip was that one of the kids could get sick. I was afraid to sit next to others and when someone actually said that they were sick I would panic so hard and shake. I was trying not to show it tho. I always thought that my fears were irrational and didn't tell anyone about it. I thought I was weak and silly. I tried to overcome it so hard that with time, after all the years I get ahold of my fear. This video reminded me of the past and I think that this still exists somewhere, maybe not even that deep in me. I haven't thrown up after that accident and I just noticed that I'm still doing everything to avoid situations like that. I control what and how I'm eating really carefully and whenever I feel a bit sick I feel anxious. Mentioning throwing up is still a bit triggering for me and I don't know how I would react if someone near me would do it. I wasn't paying attention to this so it means that it doesn't control my life anymore. These are just old habits I guess. Anyone else has similar experience?

One time my cousin threw up and i was terrified. I ran out of the house and stayed outside for hours he was throwing up for like 10 minutes and i couldn’t go back inside. and when i had to get my stuff in the house i didn’t touch anything. right now i feel really sick and i’m scared of gonna throw up and i tried to make myself throw up but it didn’t work

I feel so happy that I'm not alone. I have such a terrible fear of throwing up that if I ever do throw up, I don't really eat for a few days because I'm afraid it will happen again. I became underweight but I decided to not let it control my life anymore and so I came to your video. Thank you for all the advice, I'm really gonna think about it when I get anxious again! :)

Oh my! It's amazing how I can relate to everything you're saying! This year my emetophobia has been really high because of 4-5 vomit experiences. It's been very traumatic! And I don't know why but normally I won't really care if someone vomits silently, but if you make noise ( which most people do) that's what starts me off. The noises have always been the most triggering thing for me, I guess it's because my mum can get easily sick and she is REALLY loud when she throws up. Plus, this year she's been ill quite a lot. I get trembly and I shake and cry, I have to block out the noise with headphones or something loud. It's annoying that most adults don't understand and think it's " silly" but I just can't help it. Thanks for everything! I asked my grandma and she said she may get me therapy for it! Thanks again! Stay strong! 💕

On your point about being "ladylike" and that's why more women are emetophobic, I think it's also because women are expected to be nurturing and motherly and take care of everyone, which is extremely hard for people with this phobia.

I so appreciate you posting your story about emetophobia. Strangely enough, I am 38 years old and I've only ever vomited 4 times in my entire life. I've researched the phobia and a lot of times it's people that don't vomit often that suffer from the phobia. Not always, but a lot. This phobia has caused me severe panic and anxiety attacks many times. Sometimes I don't allow myself to go to sleep because I'm afraid I'll wake up sick, even if I don't feel sick. Also, the anxiety can cause nausea, which makes the anxiety worse, which makes the nausea worse. Vicious cycle. Sometimes I have not allowed myself to eat if I feel nauseous because my mind thinks, "what doesn't go down can't come up". Sometimes I worry all the time about catching a stomach bug or food poisoning. I'm currently going through therapy to help me address the root issues of this. I don't want it to control my life!

I have it it is horrible cause nobody understands what it feels like. For me it is only when someone else throughs up which wasn't good because 3 people have been sick in front of me. I absolutely HATE IT when someone says they fell sick I start to feel sick and scared and I close my eyes when I can see it coming. Luckily one of my teachers understood but the one I have now thinks I'm silly and childish.

I'm currently sick, and the anxiety attacks are absolutely horrible. I haven't gotten any sleep in two days now, and I've been panicking non stop. It's so scary, and I hate it so much. I've been trying so hard to get rid of it. But I just can't, and it's driving me nearly insane.

Watcing this video has given me so much releif to know that other people out there have emetophobia like me. Thank you so much by making thus video you have helped me so much.

I had Emetophobia at least 6-9 age. I was unsettled when someone says I'M GONNA PUKE!!!. But today I overcomed it. When my cousin vomited at me because we were on a VERY DIZZY ROLLER COASTER, I screamed so hard I ran away to my friend to the CR. When we started to sleep, I heard my cousin say "Ugh I feel sick" so I got up, motionless, just so scared. Then he ran away to the restroom and puked. We got back to sleep at 4 A.M. I searched for "Fear of Vomits" I came up with Emetophobia. When I hear my cousin coughing I'm going to get up motionless and be scared for 10 seconds. This day I'm still scared of Emetophobia. This is my story of Emetophobia.

I've had this from a very young age and I never understood it! I'm glad you are spreading awareness

I have this terrible phobia and its not easy ;-;"" I found out when one of my classmates threw up. It was terrible. I got hard anxiety, stomach ache... I almost cried and I stopped eating properly because it wouldnt go away from my mind. Anyway, thanks for this video... stay strong gurl

I remember when I was 11 or 12 I told my mom "I think it would be better not to live than to throw up." I sincerely thought that what a relief death would be because I would never have to throw up again. That thought passes through my mind occasionally still but it's fleeting. :(

I'm 13 and I have thought the same thing before

I've had it for about 2 months, I found out I had it yesterday, it kept me home sick from school 4 times, and I know I've been feeling sick in class all day everyday from this and when ever I felt slightly sick, I'd go right to the teacher and ask to go to the bathroom. It's been affecting me at home too. It's been keeping me up till times like 4 in the morning, because whenever I was about to fall asleep, I'd feel sick, and run to the bathroom, I've been crying myself to sleep every night because it's been torturing me to the point where i never want to leave, and that I want to sleep forever. On the weekends I've been sleeping till times like 1 or 2 in the afternoon and I wake up starving, and eat, and then I still feel sick, because I had just eaten, I don't know how it really started, I was just in class and I said to myself, what would I do if I threw up right now, and I felt sick all of the sudden, and it affects me constantly. It's 24-7 that I feel the affects of Emetophobia, because there's no time that I can't not think about it, even at my house. It's everywhere, its following me around, making my daily life hard to get through, it feels like each day is 50 hours long. Emetophobia also affected me in the 4th grade, but I didn't know what it was, and my guidance counselor told me it was just nerves, but I now realize what it was. It's now causing me depression because of its affects to my life. And I know this was long, but it's 2:25 in the morning, I can't sleep, and I needed to vent about my life, and thank you to anyone who took the time to read all of this. Have a nice day. 😌😞

Thank you so much for posting this video. I live with this every single day. It is something that I don’t talk a lot about because it is a fear that is deeply rooted in me. It affects my relationship with my wife in so many ways as well. Thank you again for this video.

This is such a comforting video. I’ve never heard someone speak so openly about emetophobia and it makes me feel not so alone. So Thankyou 💖

I am part of that 2% of people with emetophobia since I'm a male. For me, my emetophobia is more focused on the thought of other people vomiting around me. When I get sick, I willingly lay down and stare at the roof for entire days to avoid throwing up, but I don't get that anxious about it if I do throw up (even though I can remember every single time I've thrown up ever since I was 6). However, when people around me say they don't feel well or when I see or smell someone vomiting, I get panic attacks. I guess my fear is more about getting thrown up on or smelling vomit since I don't get that anzious if I see someone vomit through a screen. Anyway, it's absolute TORTURE because I have to take a bus and there's a person that ALWAYS throws up... The space to walk between seats is not very big either... Also, I have never drunk alcohol or gone to a party with alcohol because I really don't want people to vomit around me.

chris herbert I have aspergers and emetophobia

omg thank you so much for talking about this. Not many people have the guts to do it and i just want to thank you so much! I have lived in fear of talking about it for too long and you have really helped. My phobia is so severe that just watching this caused me anxiety. It has stopped me from going to the doctors or school trips. I will avoid my own family if one of them has a stomach ache! Thank you x

oh and my bedroom is next to the toilet so if someone is sick i can here it. If i think a family member is going to be sick i will sleep on the sofa downstairs... and i know what you mean by being beyond terrified when i'm about to be sick.

This made me cry so much because everything you said I relate to, my fear is terrible right now and it was so calming to see that I’m not alone because I feel like I am. Thank you for your advice and for being brave to post this❤️

thank you so much for making this video. I have felt so so alone with this, and it is so comforting to know that there are other people that have this fear. it is starting to become such a huge problem and is stopping me from doing things, and this had been a life saver. thank you so so so much, I really needed this.

I'm emetaphobic and I'm exactly the same as what ur like and I thought I was the only person in the world with it 💕

This is crazy. I always though my whole life, prior to this year, that i was the only one who felt this way or that I had something rare. With you explaining what you went through, I realize that Im having a super similar experience. Thank you so so so so much for this video

fermit kermit me too. I’ve had it for as long as I can remember.. I’m 23 this year. Tonight is the first time I’m diving in and finding people who struggle with the same thing. So sorry you have this. But I am glad to know I’m not alone 🦋

Thank you for your post. My daughter suffers from this and I learned so much from your video. Many family members (her grandparents and some friends) don't understand her but my wife and I just try to understand her and listen to her. As a parent we felt helpless. But to know there is a name for this mental phobia helps and to hear other people suffer from this terrible phobia helps us who don't have it. Thank you Rhiannon and everyone posting you're stories in the comments. I pray every one of you finds peace and mental control no matter what level in controlling your Emetophobia.

Having so many revelations watching this, sooo helpful thank you so much.

I have OCD, anxiety , very very very minor depression, panic disorder, and emetophobia and I can't even hear that someone went down to the nurse without panicking. I haven't been sick since I was 7 and I'm almost 14

i didn't realize i had emetophobia until very recently, but it started when i was 7. now i realize how much of a problem it was, even then. i threw up on a thursday, and a few years later, also threw up on a thursday again. after that for about a year, i would be afraid of thursdays because i was so scared of throwing up and thought i would just because of the day. i also couldn't say vomit or throw up, i would have to say "get sick" because the words themselves bothered me. if i saw anone on tv throw up, i would feel nauseous for hours after, much less someone in person. both times after i got sick in elementary school, for the rest of the school year, i would either have visible panic attacks in class or go to the nurse every. single. day. this year, for months on end, i would just be sitting in class and have an overwhelming feeling that i was going to throw up with no nausea. this would happen multiple times an hour, every day, and i am just starting to get over this now. i am so happy that now i've found other people that share this so i can learn how to overcome this fear because it's something that can have such a huge impact on someone's life.

Watching this, I felt like you were explaining my life!! Everything you say I can relate to and it is so nice to know that I’m not alone and I’m not crazy.

This is extremely helpful, I never knew that this was a thing. I have struggled my entire life with this phobia. I can relate to everything you have touched on in this video! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! This video was so so helpful. I haven’t been sick in years but it worries me every day and it sucks :((
