I am extremely afraid of throw up. Is something wrong with me?

Question

I know no one likes to see someone throw up but it's not just that i don't like it, it's that i'm AFRAID of someone throwing up. This started like wayyyy back around kindergarten. If someone even told the teacher they didn't feel good i would start to flip out. I would make excuses just to leave the room. Sometimes i got so worried that the kid was going to throw up that i would ask the teacher if i could move the the opposite side of the classroom. At daycare if someone threw up i got so terrified that i would say i was sick just to go home. One time at daycare a kid threw up on my shoe and i was flipping out so bad that they sent me home. At disney world we passed some guy cleaning up puke and we had to leave the park we were at. I got somewhat better but im still terrified that someone will puke in my house, or in my moms car, or behind me on a ride at an amusement park, or behind me on a bus! i am 13 and last year on the bus some kid threw up and i started to panic. the bus driver stopped the bus to see if i was okay. i was like crying and hyperventilating. 2 years ago my friend said she had a stomachache when she was sleeping over. i was so afraid she was going to throw up on MY carpet in MY house. I cried. Is there something wrong with me?!

Answer 1

You have a weak stomach, just like there's some people that are afraid of blood, and needles.

Answer 2

What you have is Emetophobia - The fear of vomiting. I have the same fear which is the main reason I have panic and anxiety attacks. It sucks, whenever I get the tiniest bit nauseous I go into a full on anxiety attack. And I know how you feel with the panic and fear, as I have been in several situations where people around me have vomited and I flipped the h**l out. I don't know if it will work for you, but I got on anti-depressants and went through a program my Mom used for the anxiety attacks and while the fear is still in me, and always will be, I don't obsess on every second of the day like I used to.

This is kinda cute, but creepy at the same time.

Answer 6

honestly it dose't sound like a anxiety thing it just sounds like a phobia you just need to condition your self  to get over it I'm sorry. that might have sounded a bit rude

if you wanna have kids your are going to have to get through this some how maybe going to therapy i think that would be the easiest thing they will just condition you to not be so stressed about throwing up

yes its disgusting everyone thinks that but its not something you would normally stay at home about unless your the one throwing up. but yes therapists can really help you with that  

Answer 7

It sounds like you have serious anxiety and control issues... in a sense, anxiety is a form of controlling a situation. We are in terror, so we can control our family (in your case, leaving Disney World) and our lives (by avoiding situations that we deem "unsafe")... what are your parents like? Do they tend to be overbearing with you in any ways? That is the one thing I'm wondering...

Answer 8

I think you may have a phobia. These are panic attacks. People with phobias have panic attacks. I watched The Maury show and it had a segment with people who had to face their phobias and the ran out of the studio screaming. You'll need professional help, happens all the time over things that seem random. People have an unnatural fear of elevators for instance.
