Q: Fear of vomiting

i have a terrifying fear of vomiting. today, like everyday, i feel extremely nauseated. for the past year i have done everything i could to try to make my immune system very strong. i was hoping this would help me never get the stomach bug. i need some kind of help, because this fear is taking over me. I am not embarrassed to vomit in front of others, i am just terrified to actually throw up. Are there any suggestions to what i can do when i feel sick? What i mostly want is someone to talk to. Can Anyone Please Help Me??

hi there, i'm the exact same way. i have been afraid of throwing up since i was about 8 years old and i am now 18. Also, even when i do get so nauseous that i think maybe i should vomit to feel better, i can't vomit. i also can't burp :S i think they might be related.

Hi girls, well firstly i know it is horrible to throw up i hate it to, but the more you think i hate being sick you are gonna make yourself feel sick if you get me...and your gonna go into a state of panic and so on! You need to calm down take a deep breathe and say to yourself am gonna be ok..i don't feel sick...chill out! I know it might sound silly but trust me it works! but if you are ill and you do need to be sick then girls am sorry but you will have to just spew... sorry
