Emetophobia---fear of Others Vomiting
Posted: 12-23-05 10:33am

I am so releived to know that there are others who suffer with this obsession and phobia. I need to know how to rid myself of it.

I am obsessed with concern that someone near me is going to throw up. If I am on an airplane, I watch the person next to me the whole flight in fear of him grabbing the sick bag.

If at a bar, I obsessively watch for really intoxicated bar patrons and make sure I stay far away becasue I am in fear they will vomit near me.

If I know someone has ben sick, I will not even get near them for weeks...Just beacuse I know they have vomited.

The worst part is, particularly when flying is I cannot get thoughts out of my head about the smell and the sounds. I literally have to tell myself to think of something else. Am I crazy or can someone help me?

Hello,
I have the same problem that you have. I tend to be most fearful in public restrooms. My heart starts racing and my cheeks turn bright red. How do you handle your fear ? It's nice to "meet" somebody else who faces the same problem.
