Emetophobia: Fear of Vomiting Can Anyone Relate? Lets Talk Posted: 04-10-07 04:02am
Well
needless to say this phobia has ruined my
life, I hide this issue from my husband
and my kids. I feel ashamed of being this
way, I am 29 years old and I have been
this way since I was a little girl. It
does ruin your life. I cant hardly go
anywhere out of fear I will get sick. I
know it is all psychological, and I have
tried taking meds, Zoloft is the only one
that doesnt make me feel very sick. But I
still have this phobia and I cant talk to
anyone since nobody knows how I feel. I
need someone to talk to about this, I am
tired of feeling alone and silly for the
condition. I used to weigh 130 when I was
20 years old, since then I have went down
hill. I only weigh 105 now. I noticed a
huge change in my life after I got the
depo shot after giving birth to my second
son when I was 20 years old. After getting
the depo shot it has made my phobia go
into severe overdrive. Anyone interested
lets talk!

i have the same exact problem but i didnt
know it had a name.im so frightenedthat i
will end up getting sick but i used to
all the time when i ate. i used to vomit
literally for a while when i ate idk if it
was just the thought that made it happen
though. i was anorexic for along time but
recovered and began working with ed
patients before idk if that has somethin
to do with it too.

I have anorexic days as well. I will have
some days where I feel normal and I can
eat like a normal person, then I have days
where I cant eat at all or I will vomit. I
always feel silly and isolated since
nobody would understand. And the funniest
part about all this is I dont really care
if I am skinny or not! I actually hate how
skinny I am. I feel even sicker whenever I
see myself in the mirror. I am glad you
recovered Kim, and I am trying to help
myself...but with nobody to talk to it is
very hard.
