Answer 2

Sort out your phobia before it becomes an excuse for an eating disorder, this phobia is not healthy, it seems like a really sensitive subject.  Just observe those around you: what happens to people who throw up when they have bugs?  Anything fatal or bad?  Are they in severe, severe pain?  Not really.  Yeah, there's an uncomfortable sensation for a minute, but you feel better afterward, and then you get over the bug and you're fine.  Fear of vomiting is not very logical.  Just remember: NOTHING bad comes out of vomiting.  It's your body's way of ridding itself of even WORSE things.  If these bug viruses stayed inside of us human beings, they could kill us or cause us to become seriously ill.  They don't belong in our body.  Throwing up is GOOD.  Good luck.  Bye:) xxxxx

Answer 3

I have severe emetophobia too.  

I was at the point 3 times in my life where I was so afraid to eat because i thought it woudl give me a stomach virus or make me sick.  I was 60 pounds at age 13.  I am always really scared too.

Did you know that people with emetophobia normally DO NOT throw up when they have a stomach virus?  Their fear clouds the brain and so instead you get stomach cramps and diarrhea.  Just relax.  I am deadly afraid of it too.  

I have NEVER thrown up.  Have you?  Also, please let me know if seeing someone about your emetophobia works, because this is what controls my anxiety, panic, and depression.  This one stupid fear.
