  • Me 2

  • I've got that same phobia.

  • when someone pukes in front of me i shake u till the end of the day

  • I seriously have the same phobia.

  • isnt everyone like that...? i feel like im gonna puke when i see someone puke

  • I'm "afraid" of vomiting because if it happends, I cant breathe and start to hyperventilate and puke at the same time. Which is a baaaaaaad combination.

  • A fear of vomiting? Try having a fear of fucking balloons, like I do. I can't go ANYWHERE because I'm so scared of them. I'd rather have a phobia of vomiting.

  • BLAH

  • i have this too. no matter how sick i end up getting, i refuse to let myself throw up. i havent gotten sick in almost ten years, and the last time i did i remember screaming and crying for hours afterwards. i cant even go out drinking with my friends, or take care of my boyfriend when he feels sick because im just too scared of it..

  • my names gaby :c

  • This is a strange phobia? I'm afraid of vomiting too.

  • fabio is a boss.

  • whenever i hear about,hear,or see someone puke i feel like im sick and might puke too,especialy while your eating(jaqualine -_-) i hate sitting infront of people in class or sit next to someone in science except some people even though i cant see the board especialy when their sick i cant be puke it smells and looks so gross and then i feel like i have to puke too.

  • I'm afraid of vacuums. lol

  • I have a fear of vomiting too, then I vomit, and then I feel better. :D

  • Me too I have a fear of vomiting g

  • I had this from 6th grade until I was 17. Full blown panic attacks, loss of sleep, checking food, psychiatrists. One day I got really drunk and realized it wasn't that bad. I'm cured now. Sure i don't like it or enjoy it but I'm no longer afraid..

  • @greenapplekid Glad you're no longer afraid. You're one of the lucky ones.

  • i have this too, whenever i get drunk i get really nervous when i feel sick as i cant bear puking.. theres nothing worse!!!

  • For the others saying that "nobody likes to throw up" - yes it's true,it's awful however remember this is a phobia, so those suffering from emetophobia (I do) have an irritational fear of this! While you might not like throwing up, we HATE it it's almost like death to us! Please understand this. Thanks

  • Its not strange, i have the same problem. I know many people who are the same.

  • I have this phobie too, but I'm more afraid of OTHER people vomiting. When they do, I cry, I try my best to be far away from them, and I hyperventilate.

  • @Tarzou25 *phobia sorry

  • @13Bee1 Omygod i don't mean to be rude but shut the fuck up. I have this phobia and I'm sure many other emetophobes watching this will be discussed and deeply offended by what you said. It controls you life there is no way out, every fucking minuite of my life is spent worrying about pukeing, you can't eat, go out or like anything, I'm 14 years old and can't go to the cinema in case some one pukes, or the shopping centre or even sit in class in case I throw up in front of everyone and they hate

  •  i hate vomitting too i hold it back

  • Lmao @ all the people saying. "I have this" "It controls my life" "Don't judge" "living every day in fear"

    This is not an extreme phobia that controls your life, for god's sake get over yourselves. EVERYONE is 'afraid' of vomiting or vomit in some way. This is ridiculous.

  • @13Bee1 wtf obviously you dont have this phobia do you

  • @Animasher818 oh my god, i have an extreme fear of vomitting and other people vomitting, but I'm not so absorbed in myself that I go around saying its a phobia. Everyone hates vomit to some extent...it's not "strange" it's doesn't "control your life" (it only controls your life if you let it, seriously) and people who say so, just need to get over themselves and grow up, and realise this. it's extremely common.

  • @13Bee1 Just to put this into perspective for you -- I had to take a leave of absence from college because of the mental anguish that this phobia caused me. I was almost SUICIDAL because I didn't want to deal with vomit. Can you say that your fear has taken you to that level? It's not something you can just "get over". We're all chemical beings, and sometimes we're not in control of those chemicals and the way our brains are wired. Please have some compassion.

  • @ihatestalkers Of course I understand that, but the suicidal part is where it steps into a different realm. I shouldn't have to say this, but my mother has depression and a friend of mine has had OCD, so I completely understand those things, and I don't like how you assume I don't, when you have no idea what I have been through, what I have learnt and what I have seen others gone through. That part I understand. But just having a fear of vomit, is extremely common, so I don't find it "special"

  • @ihatestalkers And I find it irritating how people seem to think they are special, or need special care just because they have a fear of vomit. It's more common than you think, and it's not something to be going around saying "It controls my life" "have compassion". It is not like some extreme phobias people have, or a chemical disfunction in our brains - like depression. It is not like that, so no, it's not "strange", it is just a normal fear that a lot of people have.

  • @13Bee1 If I hadn't gotten "special care" for emetophobia, I wouldn't be alive today. If that's not an example of an "extreme phobia", I'm not sure what is.

  • @ihatestalkers I can't tell if you're exaggerating more than everyone else, or one of the extremely few who actually HAVE developed an "extreme phobia" out of this.

  • @13Bee1 I'm not exaggerating in the least. It's a real and extremely intense fear. That's why I look up videos such as this one to try to help myself. Every single day. It's an every day worry. Always in the back of my mind. Ask any true emetophobe, and they'll tell you the same. And to get even more personal, I'm even thinking about not having children because I'm so scared of morning sickness and of my child getting sick. This really and truly sucks. I don't wish it on my worst enemy.

  • I have the exact same thing. Ever since I was a kid. I wont even go to bars or drink knowing someone might vomit or myself

  • i have this, it controls your life, even if people cough or spit or blow their nose i feel like i am going to puke and then everyone else will puke, it is horrible

  • Isn't everybody afraid of Vomiting?

  • @dan2hamilton No. Most people don't like it and try to avoid it if possible, but are not actually afraid of it. Emetophobia can be so intense that you'd rather cut off your own arm than throw up. Hopefully that gives you a better idea of the level of fear some people deal with with this phobia.

  • @dan2hamilton Well, yes, but... Not as much as emetophibics, like me. Do you cry, run away and faint when someone vomits? Do you freak out and panic everytime YOU wanna throw up? It's really not the same, and it really ruins your life, it ruins OUR life. Nobody understands us, and we are so scared that we don't even wanna go outsode!

  • @dan2hamilton a phobia is different than having just a fear.

  • @dan2hamilton Then there must be something wrong with me. I LOL at it and watch vids on the internet.

  • @dan2hamilton its not just the fear of yourself throwing up.. its anything involving it. i freak out if i hear/see/smell it. i cant even watch it on tv.

  • @dan2hamilton no im not

  • @dan2hamilton Not bulemics!

  • How is this strange? Nobody likes throwing up.

  • I have exactly the same , if someone even says that they feel sick I will go all cold and sweaty and begin to shake and want to run out of the room!! :(

  • So if you make dry heaving sounds, does she freak out??

  • Is this a joke?

  • Who the hell ISN'T afraid to throw up.

  • @TheOceansaber I hate it when it goes through my nose, you can smell it a day or two later.....

  • I thought this was a normal thing to have?

  • SAME. I HAVE THIS. its awful to see and ughhh.....ew

  • @himynameiseleanor Does it disgust you when a dog goes and licks it up??

  • @simdude2u yes

  • I'm a freak, because I am, and have always been, afraid of throwing up, for some reason.

    I don't have anything against someone throwing up near me, though.

  • I have this too, but it's gotten better over the past few years. It was the worst when I was younger.

  • Uuuugh I actually have this too!!

  • I have this as well (though for different reasons). It's getting better, but for a while it was honestly debilitating. :/

  • I laughed when she had to think about where she grew up.

  • my best friend has this if any one feels or is sick near or in front of her he will go into a state of shock and will have a panic attack :(

  • I fear shit. Can i be on tv?

  • nobody likes vomit , wants to vomit in front of people , or see someone vomit....i understand her totally

  • thanks gabby :) I saw you posted about this on the emet message boards. you're awesome, you go girl! you make me want to get better, too!

  • . . . I Have A Phobia Of Fruit, But. . . An Addiction To Lemons? xD

  • r.i.p good television

  • i have the same phobia i hate it im scared if other people vomit around me i hate it

  • I hate the sensation of throwing up. I'd rather go through hours of pain than 5 seconds of that feeling.

  • Yeah I hate throwing up just because it hurts not because I'm a dumb a** and don't want to embarras myself. If I throw up then I throw up and people will just have to get over it. And I also get scared when someone else throws up because to me when they're throwing up that means something is terribly wrong with their body and their body is trying desperately to get it out and that they need immediate help. But vomit itself doesn't scare me it's just gross.

  • this is exactly my life

  • I'm afraid of vomiting too...not just afraid, but I hate it. It's a horrible feeling

  • This is exactly me.

  • i hate vomit wen i smell or see i might vomit 

  • umm this is not strange, plus why woukld you want to vomit anyway?

  • i cant' throw up without crying and if someone throws up around me i'll break down, but not because it embarrasses me, but because it terrifies me to death

  • I'd tap that

  • She probably watched 2 girls 1 cup.

  • If shes afraid of vomiting then i guess that means shes afraid of deepthroating a cock just in case she might throw up

  • I have this too. Don't judge it, it's such an issue. Just because you don't have something doesn't mean it's wrong. It's hard living every day in fear.

  • @laurenemilyy1 i was afraid of walking on the street, so i decided to confront my fear and i walked alone in dangerous places, so i am now able to go out anywhere. But i do addmit that it's way harder to confront vomit phobia because... well... what should the person do? vomit? yeah, i don't think so x-x''

    but from anyways what i'm saying is: don't give up of trying to get better because even if you take lots of time you eventually WILL get better. You just can't give up :)

  • @laurenemilyy1 i have it too... when someone only spits something on the ground... like the stuff in your mouth ( you know what i mean i hope... ) im afraid of vomiting... its annoying... and when you think about it the feeling only gets stronger.. :/

  • I wonder If she has watched the Jackass movies.

  • i have this badly like she does, except i get out of the house more. if i see something that even looks like vomit i will throw up everywhere. btw i'm twelve

  • WHY IS THIS WEIRD?!?! I have it.

  • Americans, making shows of out nothing.

  • Oh my god... I also have emetophobia. I've never seen someone else that has this fear...

  • @paiigekooks I'm not an emetophobic but I can't be around someone who is vomiting. It's something that freaks me out. I don't know why;it just does.

    I can watch it in a video or in a movie but not up close.

  • Im scared of vomit too, its nasty and can spread aids, so whats the big deal

  • @mryjn420090 retard

  • I am 11 and I have this also I'm always stressed and am embarrassed because I cry allot my parents are split because my dads gay and everyone thinks being gay is bad

  • @lordofyellow1722000 damn, dude. I would feel the same way going through what you're going through.

  • @wolfumz thanks im from england and all the guys are always piss taking gays but ive not told allot of people so i just laugh with them also im not saying my life is bad its just hard to hide

  • my best friend has this phobia, you guys laugh, but its traumatic.

  • Wait until her boyfriend takes her on a cruise in the middle of a storm... and they're fresh out of sea sickness pills....

  • I'm like that but not as bad, if someone's sick in the room I'll literally leave

  • I used to have this really bad when I was in middle school and high school... being in heavily populated places scared the crap out of me, I always had to know where the closest bathroom was... I am still afraid of throwing up, haven't thrown up in 14 years and I really hope I don't EVER have to throw up again...

  • @MissRoyalDoll I havent thrown up in almost 9 years and I'm terrified if someone even brings up the subject 

  • I am afraid of throwing up and I could cry if I even see someone throw up and I would stay away from that person for weeks. I just wish throwing up wast a big deal. I would rather die than throw up

  • I had it too. It took working in a hospital to get over it.

  • I have emetophobia. It ruins my life. Sometimes, I'm scared to go places for the fear of someone throwing up.

  • Whenever I get a stomach ache or somthing I fear that I'm gunna throw up In front of anyone...

  • i used to fear vomiting but i dont anymore.

  • im just like her too

  • im just like her, wheneva i go to a public place, i fear vomiting n embarrasing myself

  • I think I have this 0_o

  • I have this. I fear vomiting more than death itself.

  • @AbigailSarah101 I was thinking the same hahaha

  • i havent seen puke in over a year... does that make you happy?... :/

  • Wait till she has a baby

  • i am afraid of naked girls. do i need a therapist also? plz help

  • @MrWolframagnum You need lots of therapy that forces you to naked ladies aaaallll day long. :D

  • @MrWolframagnum it's ok no worries

  • @MrWolframagnum I think you should try exposure therapy

  • @MrWolframagnum try jacking off to some porn

  • I havn't thrown up in five years. I don't know why. But I'm not afraid of it.

  • Omg feels good to know your clearly not the only one with this phobia ...i have it soooo bad like its craaazy ,ill start panicking like im going to die cuz its just that bad n i cant help it.

  • I have a phobia of vomiting also. I've had it since I was young, I even went to therapy for my anxiety of it.

  • I don't think it's very strange. Vomiting IS quite embarrassing and it isn't a pleasant feeling. If I'm sick and feel really nauseous I feel very scared to vomit and start to hyperventilate if I think I'll throw up.

  • Fear of vomiting is not strange... I am scared to death of it... no one actually LIKES it..

  • εμετοφοβία-Greek word

  • Does anyone else want to find her just so you can throw up infront of her? I do

  • she definately should NOT walk the streets of chicago on st patricks day

  • This isn't a stupid fear. I am SOO horrified of vomit. It seriously would have a panic attack if someone vomited in front of me!

  • i find vomiting embarrassing

  • sooooo 2 girls 1 cup is out off the question i assume?

  • I find that definition of phobia very incorrect. "irrational"

    Mmkay. Let's think about this for a second. How would you feel about going up to a camp in the mountain's miles and miles away from any hospital and sleep in an 8 person dorm with bunk beds that have hundreds of Brown Recloose Spiders living under them. I'm a large arachniphobic and the Brown Recloose is ONE of the deadliest spiders that can be found in California to date. I slept every night for a week wondering if I'd wake up dead.

  • @jeveuxlesoleil

    Maybe it's just luck, but I feel pretty damn lucky! I've had several stomach flus and I had food poisoning 3 times over those 10 years, but I never threw up (i always held it in, augh).

    Oh man, really? I don't think I could handle that hahaha....

  • well, she's safe from the vomit type of bulimia nervosa

  • .... I actually have this phobia as well... It's more just me being sick that triggers it. But obsessive cleaning, fear of infection and raw foods come into play as well because of it. It's a horrible fear because its a natural thing that occurs so I'm kept up many nights knowing that at some point its going to happen. I'm 18 and I've had it since I was probably around 12.

  • I have this phobia. I'd lay in my bed, feeling nauseous, then make myself more nauseous and faint just from thinking about throwing up. I didn't sleep all night and sat in the computer chair all night trying to breathe deeply and calm down. It is one of my biggest fears and just typing it makes my heart race. : /

  • I wonder if she has seen the ipecac episode from family guy?

  • No way.....I have this too.

  • im going to poison her food so she gets sick!

  • I fear vomiting as well but not to that extent where it affects my everyday life. I hate the sound and feeling of someone gagging...I didn't know this could be a phobia and i can relate to her..

  • I relate to her so much!!!

  • Comment removed

  • she looks like shes 16 not 22

  • I get disgusted when ppl vomit and it also makes me wanna vomit, but honestly how often do people near her actually vomit. The last time I saw someone vomit was I unno 10 years ago. Even if you are in that situation, don't look at it. Turn away. Damn this is a stupid phobia.

  • im terrified of vomiting i was on a heart moniter i was so scared im deathly afraid of it, someone at school tretened to vomit on me, and i wen t to a corner screaming your gonna make me kill myself, im still sccared

  • I sorta have a phobia of it, so much so that it's been 10 years since I last threw up.

  • @TheStarrysea That's just luck, being afraid of it isn't gonna stop it. Nobody LIKES puking, but I don't even bat an eyelash anymore since I moved to China. They're pro pukers. It's insane.

  • i used to be DEATHLY afraid of getting sick and puking. now, not as much, but i still can't stand it when me or anyone else pukes!!

  • I used to suffer from this phobia (me vomiting, not other people). yeah, that sucked. I really think the best way around this one is exposure (i.e., vomiting). you come to realize it's not so bad. at least that's what did it for me.

  • I used to suffer from emetophobia horribly. Luckily, one night, I was ill and did throw up, even though I was panicking so much. I felt so good after, and my phobia is still there, but it is NO where near as bad.

  • its not strange..

  • It isn't strange. It isn't so much a phobia for me as much as I find it so nasty.

  • I used to fear vomiting because of the squeezing and chocking feeling you get when you vomit. And then one time I got drunk and started vomiting and the fear became less intense ever since.

    I still rather would be sick all day than throw up and feel better after 5 minutes..

  • damn...gaby is fine as fuck!!!

  • i dont have this phobia because im 13 but then again, i wouldnt want someone to just chunk up their breakfast lunch and dinner on me making me look like a buffet bar!

  • @danpluswife Phobias don't have age restrictions.

  • I will laugh so fucking hard if one of my friend vomits.

    Really grateful I don't have this phobia.

  • This is one of the most common phobias in the world. The show's researches made a faux pas.

  • @thedemonicheretic it is considered a phobia because it ruins our DAILY lives. people who aren't afraid of it just vomit and don't think twice about it. to us with emetophobia, we will not eat for days after vomiting. there is a difference between just not liking it and being absolutely horrified

  • I have the exact same fear :(

  • im not afraid of vomit...

    but poop is just horrible

  • I also have this. Vomit is the worst thing ever, I will do ANYTHING not to throw up. Many times when I am sick I will lay in bed and do whatever it takes not to throw up ugh its horrible fuck puke

  • holy shit she's hot

  • Comment removed

  • I also have emetophobia but it's gotten better over the years with medicine and therapy. Most people think we just get a little nervous, but really it's like an intense panic attack each time we feel nauseous or feel like or see someone vomit.

  • this is weird.. with me when i see someone spew i also spew.. if i see it smell it etc... but i think shes being a tad excentric panicking bout someone being sick

  • She looks 14 !

  • i share it.

    

  • This phobia isn't strange.... Sometimes I get scared of vomiting because it makes my stomach hurt like crazy and sometimes it make me cry

  • im pretty sure that can be classified as a rather common thing among most people, instead of a phobia.

  • This one isn't so strange, I know many people who hate vomiting. It's not a very pleasant experience, after all.

  • i hear ya! i feel the same. its not funny at all.

  • at least it isn't a philia... 

  • noone likes puking

  • @ridingdirtyOG wrong there are people who love puking. its a release like a sexual release or having a cigarette. lezpoo.com

  • @ridingdirtyOG Well...some do. Unfortunately, I'm bulimic. Not trying to be offensive, just the truth. It's therapeutic. But, all the same, it's still a deadly illness.

  • @HauntedMusicBox2 o. well sorry

  • @HauntedMusicBox2 belimic people dont like vomiting they just fear not being large

  • @ridingdirtyOG Actually, I find purging relaxing. It's amazing. And it releases endorphins in your brain, so purging does calm you down. A lot of bulimics I know say the same.
