@amyintoxicatedox you can talk to me. I like to talk to somone about my experiences with it as well. it would be nice to have somone to talk do that can relate and doesnt think im crazy.
i have suffered from this forever, and still am. i dont get people that like to vomit. i saw something the other day where somebody payed their friend to drink 4 bottles of ipecac, AND HE DID IT FOR 20 bucks!
SHit im half way through this video and i can barley understand u and still dont know what this is a fear of.....lol srry just frustrated haha good luck with it
I also suffer from this phobia, I've had it for about 4-5 years, Sometimes its really bad, It can control everything I do. Although for some periods of time, It will be fine and I wont think about it. Although these kind of days are very rare. My boyfriend likes to travel alot. Sometimes I will actually be brave enough to go, other times I just can't. This sometimes puts an emmense strain on my relationship. If anyone would like to talk. Feel free to add Me :)
hey,im 16 n i fink i have emetophobia. Ive missed more than half of school this year because i keep feeling really sick and ill and im too scared to go to school incase im sick there. When i feel sick or even a little bit ill, i try to avoid eating much and sometimes all together. Ive had loads of tests done at the hospital 4 y i keep feeling ill but nufng has shown up yet. All i can think about is sick and what will happen if im sick wen im out...is it just me being stupid?
Phobias can be tough... I am afraid of the idea of eternity. I hope we can both overcome our phobias! I have a mild case of emetaphobia in a way too when I get sick, I had a panic attack because I thought I was going to throw up and it was horrible..
by the way the people saying they don't understand it or think its just pathetic.....its more pathetic to be scared of death when you wont have to remember it since your dead, with emetophobia you have to remember the frightening event
It's the seventh most common phobia, and yet... No one can wrap their mind around it, if it doesn't bother them. Many eating disorders are bred from this phobia, and many other discomforts too... Fear of crowds, children, hospitals, doctors offices, classrooms, busses, (or any public transport) I'm 43. I've had it for as long as I can remember. I don't ever remember a time when I wasn't terrified of this. I have 2 kids, and overwhelming guilt about not being able to help them when they are ill.
I have ligyrophobia: the fear of loud noises. i got alot of phobia's but ligyrophobia is the worst. i cant go to moves or sports games. because when i hear loud noises i either cough uncontrolably or i cant breathe that good.
i get severe panick attacks when i feel sick, the worst times of my life
im 17.ive never even been sick
except for one time when i was a little todler, i drank a bottle of calpol lol cause i liked it, i got rushed to hospital to be made to throw up,i dont remeber this, im guessing phycoligically i do,
i really cannot see myself getting over this fear in my life
hi im matt and im 14 i have a fear of being watched... i know you think that this is stupid as a fear but it isnt and its not being watched by one person i mean im good with that but if i am in a crowd i feel insecure and all of a sudden i faint and rarley i might bleed from my eyes(no idea why) i know its not the worst fear in the world... but i just cant get it out of me thats why i try to avoid crowds and my supposed to be friends make fun of me because of this fear. so please do not think
I would really like to get in contact via facebook or skype with people who suffer with this phobia. I ham so happy not t be alone in this. I have suffered with this my whole life and i want to fall pregnant but i am petrified of being sick in the first trimester or worse the whole 9 months!!! I am seriously contempleting having that op for reflux... u will never vomit again if you have that op... would love to hear peoples thoughts on this....
while i was watching this, i started to cry i dont know why..
i never really thought about what my phobias were, but i looked up a bunch of them and i figured out i have: Aichmophobia (fear of needles), Asthenophobia (fear of fainting or weakness), Astraphobia (fear of thunder and lightning), Carcinophobia (fear of cancer), Hematophobia (fear of blood), Claustrophobia (fear of confined places) i have more too. They don't take over my life, i play sports and have lots of friends. Not fun though.
i don't understand it..like ur afriad of throwing up? noone enjoys it cant u jus do it n get it over with or does something happen like i really dont understand im not trying to be mean or offensive i jus want to understand what happens when u have Emetophobia
Watching your video i just cried my eyes out i have emetophobia and it is ruining my life i cant see or go anywhere unless i know there is no risk of getting sick(vommiting) i have had this phobia for about 11 years i havee just started seeing someone for it and have lost my job as a consequence of being afraid staff ill. i am at the lowest of low right now and i just need to talk to you, please reply Thank you
We are all freaks in our own way honey!Infact having freakish elements about you makes you normal x I have emetephobia...and its awful.Everything you talk about makes complete sense to me so your not the only 'freak' out there x
I'm ten and I have a severe vomiting phobia, I'm really skinny and I am always tired from staying up late at night because of the fear and I don't eat - well no breakfast, a bit of lunch and a pinch of dinner.
It started for me when I was ten. Get some help now sweetie so it doesn't develop and get worse as you get older.You can get rid of it now. Speak to your parents and doctor.Now is the best time to do something about it:o)
i understand just all too well where your coming from. iv had emetophobia since i was something like 4 or 5 and ever since its haunted me and grown worse each day. i cant do anythin i wanna do such as eat normally or go into school without days off and i miss out on all things i should be doing. i developed agrophobia, claustraphobia, and social phobia from emetophobia. life seems hell and it is really upsettin how much it can rule peoples lives. thanks for this video :) means alot to me x
I have the weirdest phobia that I could be deep down something I'm not that i don't want to be. Mainly, I'm afraid that I could be a pedophile. Its irrational, I know I'm not! I would never want to hurt someone, but its like my subconcious hates me, making me think things I know aren't true, and then you start to over analyze your feelings and you get really confused. You can't run from your mind, and its constant. I can't take it anymore...
I am more afraid of OTHER people vomiting than being sick myself, but I worry about both. It has gotten better as I've gotten older, but I find that the thought of vomiting still occupies my thoughts far too much. I really feel for anyone with any phobia. And good for you for wanting to do something about it and putting yourself out there, so we know we aren't alone.
Horrible thing, emetophobia, I have it, it's not as bad, but still...I get EXTREMELY anxious whenever I'm near someone who recently puked, seriously, it's Hell.
i have arachnophobia and its not as horrible as some phobias cuz i dont see much for some reason but when i do i aAFREAKthe fuck out regardless of whats going on
Are we related somehow? I've had emetophobia since I was 12, and from it have also developed quite alot of anxiety and deal with panic attacks quite often.
I've gotten addicted to Pepto Bismol and have just stopped that. I've now found a good balance for my phobia and anxiety in a SSRI medication, and a benzodiazapine for "emergency" situations. The phobia is still here, but anxiety stays....
As you know, you are not alone! Stay strong and sweet...which you obviously are.
a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear of harm.
some examples are fear of spiders, heights, snakes, even buttons, clowns, feathers, to the sufferer it is the feeling of shear terror and in some cases controls their whole life.From a non sufferes point of view it seems almost bizarre that someone could fear inanimate subjects, but this condition is very real.
If anybody is interested, I am a phobia expert and any of you are welcome to ask me any questions about phobias (even the seemingly silly questions, i've heard it all before!) I can advise on the most affective cures, most are amazingly fast! some take a little longer depending on the situation, but remember TO SUFFER WITH A PHOBIA NOWADAYS IS NEEDLESS! its all curable, without drugs or exposure to what you fear, GO ON ASK AWAY!!!
i have the exsact same thing!!! i count how much i eat all day i normally eact around 7 things a day includeing my meals and i make sure it is all a healthy balenced diet! I have had this phobia my whole life and im only 14 i become borderline anerexic at the age on 11 and im better now but i am very much underweight, i use to be councilled but i'm not now! so you are so not alone we are very much a like. good luck with everythin and i hope we both get better! xxkixx
Pretty cool video. I've got OCD myself so I know what it's like to have something like that I guess. That said throwing up can be really unpleasant, although I usually find feeling sick is more unpleasant than actually being sick.
Thank You soo much for posting this vid. I am 21 and I have had emeaphobia for as long as i can remember and it really is truely debilatating. The worst part is that no one gets it, not my family, friends or bf, and they will often tell me to just calm down (as they prob think i am just over reacting). anyways, if you could tell me some of the info or support sights you have seen that would be great! again, thanks alot!!
im 13 and i have emetophobia also..i hate it sooo much especially having anxiety...i HATE it and i think i am getting an eating disorder because of it :/ like in the morning before i go to school i eat barely anything and i refuse to eat at school because i think i am going to be sick...at home i can eat whatever but school is a big problem for me
I have just found your video after I have made my own video about my emetophobia. I just wanted to tell you that I know exactly what you go through. It has been with me since I was 5 years old. So you are definitely not alone! :-)
I have no problem seeing someone else vomit, its more the taste and smell and build up that scares the living shit out of me. But i have ways to overcome the feeling of it. 1 is to get distracted on something fun, if you focus on something else, it will go away, I watch comedy, laughing always makes me feel better, 2 is thinking of all the good things that are coming out of it, you'll feel alot better after, work. thinking about missing school always makes me feel better.
Hey!my name is Erica,and i am 11. I have had this since grade 1 and it affects me to. i went to a therapist for a while and now i do not freak out every time someone throws up in my classroom or anywhere around me. I think i am growing out of it,but i still FREAK if I feel sick,and when i have a bad cold or i just dont feel well i wont go to school. well thanks, Erica
i had this really bad when i was little - i wouldnt go swimming because of the little kids in the pool, i wouldnt ever go to fairs, and other things to and now if someone says the feel sick i have to get as far away from them as possible, which my friends dont get at all..this video makes me feel less alone thanks for putting it up x
i had it this awhile, then forgot about it, and i even had a stomach flu for a week and it didnt botehr me once, then that winter i just started freaking out about it, and its getting better and worse etc. the most i know to do is pray it passes soon and remember that its only helping, getting rid of the toxin thats plaguing your body. contact me in you like
Violet, Please try to contact me if you would like a male perspective on this.....I have had this for about 30 years...sometimes it is overwhelming. I am determined to beat this thing if it takes my whole life to do it and help others do it as well. We have to connect with each other and talk about it...I like you, have developed anxiety as a result....
hi just watching your video - I am an 18 year old student, have been an emet for pretty much as long as I can remember and like you I have good and bad periods. I just wanted to say I really feel for you and I hope one day we can metaphorically kick it in the balls!!! xxx
My bestfriend is also an emetophobic and she has a really hard time with it. This video helped me understand it quite a bit. Or rather hear it from a more rational view, because even mentioning it when she's calm she will go out into a full blown panic attack and its just not good and I'm never really able to try and talk her through it with out just completely avoiding the situation. So thanks for posting this!
I have social anxiety. I hope you are able to find happiness, I really do. I wish you the best. I understand the pain this creates. Thank you for sharing this. The only advice I can give, although its probably not the best, is to remember its all in the mind. When you change your thinking, you change the way you feel. I havent cured myself but this has helped me alot. Thanks again.
oh wait i just rememberd! the one thing i cant overcome is the fear of getting puked on at the fair! I dont like going on rides cause im scared someone will get some on me! when i used to go i wasnt scared of getting hurt on the ride or whatever but im scared of vommit..
so i think im "cured" except for that one thing grr
wow i didnt even know this was a phobia! thanks for the video..when i was little i became really scared of ppl vommiting! i stopped going to church when i was younger because some of the children would vommit every once in a while..so i was always scared after that that it would happen!
i used to get sooo scared when someone said there stomach hurts!
i think that ive overcome it and i think the reason is because i had to help my drunk/sick friend..
Watching this video and as a 18 year old male and a Emet sufferer with an eating disorder this video went straight to the heart and made me quite emotional. All I can say is everything you said describes the way I feel! It has ruined my life so far, I dont go to pubs and clubs because of this. I avoid situations in life and also avoid eating food alot. I also sat for years not knowing why I was scared and feeling "Why me?" and "why has this ruined my life?" I would love to talk to you more.
Hello Violet, My Name is Jesús Pérez. I treated a patient with emetophobia for a while, but for reasons out of my control I had to stop treating her and I canalize her to another therapist. But Im really interested in phobia cases, I hope to get in touch with you, I hope you can give me the chance to interview you. Im sending you my e-mail adress by message.
My ex has that phobia. But it didn't bother her when I was sick everywhere when I got drunk once. So it must be a single thing for her. I suffer hemophobia. Fear of blood. (I'm thinking of making a blog about phobias.)
i have severe arachnaphobia and claustrophobia. people can be mean when they find out and play stupid pranks to laugh at how manic i get. i think everyone has a phobia.
I also suffer from this. And its becoming worse by the day. You sound just like me. I think and do the exact same things. I wish everyday that I didn't have it. I wish I had a phobia of spiders instead.
A courageous video....I too suffer with this and unfortunately it takes over and creates other problems as you said. I'm working on it! I don't have an eating disorder as such, I don't WANT to eat less but I end up eating less due to stress and worry, do you intend to eat less or does it just work out that way?
Thank you for sharing this. I have emetophobia also, and sometimes it's really, really hard...I hope the best for you hun. n_n (I'm fourteen now, but my phobia started around the age of nine, I think.)
I think you have a wonderful accent and you're very pretty =D You're a very brave person to confess your fears to who-knows how many people. I admire you for that.
HI im Jake. No idea why but I feel compelled to comment that I find everything about you very attractive. Accent especially. Im probably to young for you (20) and probably a lil screwed up for posting this but yea =)
join a fraternity girl... i've been in one at highschool. well, i can say vomiting doesn't affect me anymore at all. we were practically living in our puke there. there was always a full bucket around...sometimes for weeks... and very often we just puked on the floor, on the tables, everywhere. (once we left e restaurant just all devastated...there was puke everywhere...)
you'll get such a thick skin after one two years in a frat. wish u just the best...
Your a brave girl for sharing this, I know it aint easy to talk about. How long have you had it now? My Girlfriend has severe Emetophobia, theres not much that she would do due to the fear that she has, and shes only 18. I hope I can help you out, and vice versa.
Get in touch
For the peopple who are asking for a cure, i know that hypnotherapy can help. But I don't know to what extent. Look it up on google, theres loads of website that explain it. take it easy
I have it too. The thing that frightens me a bit is that I study naturalpathic medicine and I know of many things that can prevent illnesses. I do not know of something that can prevent or cure the stomach flu. Well, Intestinal cleansers would help, I hear lemons are good for killing the stomach bug.
i have emetophobia, and i wish i could tell my family and friends about it, so that i could get a cure for it. but i know nobody would understand... especially my parents, whom i have tried so hard to tell them... it's really affecting my life, and suffered from minor ocd and depression before.. im just a teen...thanks for the great video!
Well done for speaking out about it. I suffer the same phobia but very few people around me actually know cause I never tell people, being afraid of their reaction. Even though I know I'm not the only one suffering from it its nice to actually hear someone talk about the things I feel. I hope you're ok.Take care and hang in there!Lots of love, Mazz
Well done for posting this video. Its good to see somebody talking about it in the open to anyone and not just other sufferers on a forum. I also have emetophobia, have done for 4/5 years now. I dont think id have the courage to make an video and post it like you have, Well done again!
Thank you for putting this out! I have suffered for 23 years and I knew alot of people had emetophobia...It's just nice to be able to actually SEE someone else who suffers, not just posts on internet forums. I would send you a video response, but I have no idea how to do that. LOL
I am a new subscriber, but I am catching up on all your posts. May I please just say that I love you. I don't know what else to say. I hope it's kind of ok for you now....probably not totally ok though, huh. So, uh yeah, I love you, truly. Be well dear girl and "you know where I am if you want to have a chat". <3 *hugs* <3
I suffer as well, I really know what you're feelin there. :( Thank you for putting this video here. Maybe it will open some eyes to how it's not something to joke about, some people are cruel and torture me about my phobia. It's so easy.
I'd never heard of that before, and I'm sorry I can't offer more of a constructive comment, but good for you for talking about it. I'm sure most of the many people with this phobia are not talking about it, and I'm sure they appreciate that someone is. Good luck.
I know that was hard for you but you should feel a lift in your spirit for sharing that with us. You're a sweet and caring Lass. It's terrible that these things exist in our minds and our lives when we know in our heart that they are false. But you're a stronger and wiser person for having lived it. Take Care. Dave
Hi, my name is the Romedawg. Fun and painful? Kinda a weird combination. Hey, I have that phobia where someone is afraid of heights. I'm also scared of throwing up too. :) Believe me, everytime I get the urge, I just wanna hold it back. I agree with what everyone has said. If you express yourself all your fears and phobias, the more people will feel like they're not alone and care for you. Hope all's well and take care.
Well, I didn't understand all what you said, because english isn't my native language... But it's great to know that there are other people too that have emetophobia. I hope that we all find a cure for that phobia, it sucks! :)
I know what's it like to have a phobia overtake your life, mine are wasps and spiders..i get panic attacks! Phobias suck because others don't understand because they don't have it. People laugh, but fuck em. Karma :-p lol. Nice accent too btw :-)
There are people who will be inspired by watching this video (myself included). Thank you. I was 'alone in my head' for a long time too. When you think how common phobias, anxiety, eating disorders etc. apparently are... the more people speak about it, the more other people won't feel alone.
good for you for biting the bullet and posting. and, no you dont seem like a freak - i deal with depression and anxiety as well on top of my ED. thank you for sharing with us...its nice to get to know you better.
hi,i also have emetophobia! i have had it since i was about 3.i am 14 now and i dont want it to ruin any more of my life! i thought i was along untill about a week ago.i found other people on youtube that also have the same problem.i had it really bad when i was about 9.i had panik attacks when i felt sick or someone else felt sick or was getting sick.when i told people about my problem that laughed and mad fun of me, i even got bullied :( my life has been ruined by it.

I'm ten and I have a severe vomiting phobia, I'm really skinny and I am always tired from staying up late at night because of the fear and I don't eat - well no breakfast, a bit of lunch and a pinch of dinner.

It started for me when I was ten. Get some help now sweetie so it doesn't develop and get worse as you get older.You can get rid of it now. Speak to your parents and doctor.Now is the best time to do something about it:o)

I have the weirdest phobia that I could be deep down something I'm not that i don't want to be. Mainly, I'm afraid that I could be a pedophile. Its irrational, I know I'm not! I would never want to hurt someone, but its like my subconcious hates me, making me think things I know aren't true, and then you start to over analyze your feelings and you get really confused. You can't run from your mind, and its constant. I can't take it anymore...

I am more afraid of OTHER people vomiting than being sick myself, but I worry about both. It has gotten better as I've gotten older, but I find that the thought of vomiting still occupies my thoughts far too much. I really feel for anyone with any phobia. And good for you for wanting to do something about it and putting yourself out there, so we know we aren't alone.

Are we related somehow? I've had emetophobia since I was 12, and from it have also developed quite alot of anxiety and deal with panic attacks quite often.
I've gotten addicted to Pepto Bismol and have just stopped that. I've now found a good balance for my phobia and anxiety in a SSRI medication, and a benzodiazapine for "emergency" situations. The phobia is still here, but anxiety stays....
As you know, you are not alone! Stay strong and sweet...which you obviously are.

a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or situation. In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear of harm.
some examples are fear of spiders, heights, snakes, even buttons, clowns, feathers, to the sufferer it is the feeling of shear terror and in some cases controls their whole life.From a non sufferes point of view it seems almost bizarre that someone could fear inanimate subjects, but this condition is very real.

If anybody is interested, I am a phobia expert and any of you are welcome to ask me any questions about phobias (even the seemingly silly questions, i've heard it all before!) I can advise on the most affective cures, most are amazingly fast! some take a little longer depending on the situation, but remember TO SUFFER WITH A PHOBIA NOWADAYS IS NEEDLESS! its all curable, without drugs or exposure to what you fear, GO ON ASK AWAY!!!

Pretty cool video. I've got OCD myself so I know what it's like to have something like that I guess. That said throwing up can be really unpleasant, although I usually find feeling sick is more unpleasant than actually being sick.

Thank You soo much for posting this vid. I am 21 and I have had emeaphobia for as long as i can remember and it really is truely debilatating. The worst part is that no one gets it, not my family, friends or bf, and they will often tell me to just calm down (as they prob think i am just over reacting). anyways, if you could tell me some of the info or support sights you have seen that would be great! again, thanks alot!!

I have just found your video after I have made my own video about my emetophobia. I just wanted to tell you that I know exactly what you go through. It has been with me since I was 5 years old. So you are definitely not alone! :-)
pierz1981 4 years ago
I have no problem seeing someone else vomit, its more the taste and smell and build up that scares the living shit out of me. But i have ways to overcome the feeling of it. 1 is to get distracted on something fun, if you focus on something else, it will go away, I watch comedy, laughing always makes me feel better, 2 is thinking of all the good things that are coming out of it, you'll feel alot better after, work. thinking about missing school always makes me feel better.

My bestfriend is also an emetophobic and she has a really hard time with it. This video helped me understand it quite a bit. Or rather hear it from a more rational view, because even mentioning it when she's calm she will go out into a full blown panic attack and its just not good and I'm never really able to try and talk her through it with out just completely avoiding the situation. So thanks for posting this!

wow i didnt even know this was a phobia! thanks for the video..when i was little i became really scared of ppl vommiting! i stopped going to church when i was younger because some of the children would vommit every once in a while..so i was always scared after that that it would happen!
i used to get sooo scared when someone said there stomach hurts!
i think that ive overcome it and i think the reason is because i had to help my drunk/sick friend..

Watching this video and as a 18 year old male and a Emet sufferer with an eating disorder this video went straight to the heart and made me quite emotional. All I can say is everything you said describes the way I feel! It has ruined my life so far, I dont go to pubs and clubs because of this. I avoid situations in life and also avoid eating food alot. I also sat for years not knowing why I was scared and feeling "Why me?" and "why has this ruined my life?" I would love to talk to you more.
