Ok but fake vomit wouldn’t bother me. Because I know I won’t get sick from that. It’s actual vomit that can give me germs and make me sick that’s terrifying.

Is it still a subcategory of OCD if I don’t care if I throw up? That doesn’t bother me at all. My fear is others vomiting.

Ashley Rothert :
Emetophobia nearly killed me (I stopped eating for nearly a year) and I’m now fully recovered. It’s a lot of hard work, but it IS possible 🫂 I’m an open book!

Katie Kibler :
I have emetaphobia and before I even knew what exposure therapy was- at 10 years old, I wanted vomit to stop ruling my entire life so I would watch videos of kids throwing up and I literally would send myself into panic attacks but I would just keep doing it because I wanted to get over my fear so badly

jenjen13253 :
I’m gonna have to check it out. My phobia has transformed after having children. I am no longer afraid of seeing vomit hearing vomit smelling vomit, helping others that have vomited, etc. I’m only afraid of myself vomiting. So as soon as I feel like I am nauseous, I am freaking out.

That🪷Girl :
I don’t know. My kids range in age and I’ve been cleaning vomit from carpet and what not for 16 years and my fear is intensified by this constant proof that it’s the worst thing in the world and there is no one to clean it but me. Exposure seems to make me worse

Grace :
I don’t have a fear of throwing up myself, I don’t like to do it obviously but I can’t stand to be around, hear, or see someone throwing up around or near me. It will send me into a full blown panic. My worst fear is being thrown up on. 😭

Alanna Scott :
This sounds awful, I don’t know if I would make it through these sessions. Although emetophobia has taken over my life, I’d love to get over it…. I would never be able to eat those things again or touch slime again. Heckkkkk no! 😣😣😣😣

Catherine M. Brake :
I know people say that exposure therapy can be more traumatic, but honestly I married a barfy man and it's done wonders for me. I'm now at a point where the only thing I really struggle with is anticipation. So for example, if a video has a trigger warning I get much more anxious than if I just scroll and someone pukes without warning. I also survived a stomach bug last spring 🥹
