Answer 6

I can understand how you feel, I am going through exactly the same thing. I have a fear of throwing up, and other people throwing up. The more you stay indoors though the worse you will feel when you next go out. There was a time where i missed about 2 months of school because of it, but I have been taking tablets called domperidone which have helped me a lot. I still have the fear on some occasions (much less), but it has helped me get out the house again. I hope this helps.

Ask your parents if you can start seeing a therapist, or maybe even the school counselor right away. A therapist can help you tremendously with this and they will be there for you and support you through this.
