My Emetophobia Story | How I Overcame My Emetophobia | Rhiannon Salmons

I used to think "the longer it's been since I've thrown up, the more likely it will happen today". How crazy is that?

My biggest wish in the world is to get rid of my emetophobia, or in some way make me never throw up again in some way

The worst phrase people say is 'Well no one likes vomitting' I'm not even going to start😂

I don't get on roller coasters because of emetaphobia

I am scared to go to sleep, I feel like I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night and vomit. Does anyone else have this problem? Edit: 3 years later, still happens from time to time 😐

I hate that having emetophobia is incontrollable. I get anxiety so much and i can't bear it. I think I'm gonna throw up every night

Who else is watching this shakeing because they feel like throwing up 🥺

it ruins me. i am laying in bed worrying about throwing up when i don’t even feel sick

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 😣

This made me cry... I have the exact same problem and it hurts me

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.

i told my dad 'i'm more scared of the vomiting virus than coronavirus'

I'm scared of vomiting, every time I eat i think that I might get sick , when it comes to my mind it makes me feel like I'm ill

This is 100% me ... I haven't been ill in so long that it's just too much for me to handle rn

My parents don’t believe me and tell me to man up😭😭😭I cant it’s getting in the way of my life

I have SEVERE emetaphobia. Just wanted to say I’ve made it through an entire pregnancy, c section, and 5 surgeries without getting sick. I’ve had it since I was 5. Just in case anyone was looking for hope that is afraid of these things. I almost didn’t have a baby because of this fear but I’m so glad I did. It’s definitely possible 🙏🏼😘

My life is explained in this video it hurts me and it has ruined my life

No one understands it's horrible but whenever I'm afraid of puking I think of all the other people going through the same thing and it helps 🙃🙃

Who else was nauseous wile watching

My fear is the feeling leading up to throwing up. I shake I get cold sweats and my heart is beating so fast
