I think the worst part of Emetophobia is the fact that worrying about it can make us nauseous which is the fear! Getting sick. It’s honestly just to terrible

[@georgianamotco7839]

Once my brother threw up at wrestling practice and I had a full on panic attack crying curled up in the corner while my friend tried to comfort me and the coaches just kinda looked at me confused

[@taki_wokii]

As someone who has had this fear for a while, here r some things that have happened to me, - fifth grade my lunch seat was next to the garbage, some kid in my class decided to shove apples down his throat, came running to the garbage 3 feet away from me. Cried the rest of the day - same year same kid running to bathroom (I sat right infront of the bathroom) I heard it all, had to cover my ears with my backpack -I was at the beach not so long ago with my friend and her little sister, her sister started coughing and I saw the barf come from her, friend was comforting me instead of her sister -watching that one scene from venom -every time I feel sick I don’t eat anything bc I’m scared I’m gonna yk -when I do barf I cry for the next two days - I have more but I’m scaring myself writing these 😭

[@M3LSL1TTLEB0W]

omg im so sorry..

[@MissingClaireOfficial]

Literally me.. I have this phobia and it made me feel terrible for a long time. It hasn’t gone away of course, but it has gotten better. But anytime someone gets sick, I can’t help but stay away from them and have a bit of an attitude about it because I mean.. I’m horrified of anyone being sick, especially myself! 😭

[@hv23456]

Anytime a kid in my class says, "My stomach hurts" or " I don't feel good," I'm always scared and asking them if it's a sick stomach ache

[@Af1fteen]

OMG ME TOO. I ask them “do u feel like ur gonna throw up?” If they say yes, I back up from them. I feel bad but I can’t help it.

[@zahrxh_]

I can't see ppl vomit, it causes me to have panic attacks, when i do vomit i FREAK OUT and that causes me to vomit MORE. I have trauma from the clothes i wore when vomiting, the place i vomited, the things i ate. It's so serious and should be normalised.

[@Ella.fromsaturn]

For real. It’s very traumatizing for me. When someone vomited in class I started shaking and I was covering my ear’s trying not to cry because I was sitting next to the guy I liked as well 😭 It’s been two months since that has happened and I’m still anxious to even be at school

[@cobalt101]

100%, this happens to me as well! The clothes, place, and food: spot on. Exactly how I feel. :’) 🛑 Small trigger warning for anyone who gets uncomfortable talking about the subject 🛑 For me-and I’ve found some ways to cope, but it still affects me-it can even be the time of when I did it as well. I’ve had this pattern in which I’ve (somehow) always managed to do *the dreaded process* at night, so, even if it’s in varying amounts, it’s incredibly rare for me to not have some level of anxiety if I get a stomach twinge when it’s dark outside. Always brings back those experiences. >.< and, of course, like you also brought up, anxiety and stress do make the feelings of *the dreaded process* worse. It just becomes a vicious cycle. 😬

[@risesxthexmoon]

the clothes part is so real

[@vesithewolf1504]

​@@cobalt101Omg same...

[@Ella.fromsaturn]

Omg I feel the same way like if someone says “I feel nauseous” I’m just like “WELL UH..GO TO THE NURSE IF YOU DON’T FEEL GOOD OKAY?” or if someone just says “I think I’m sick” I always ask what they’re sick with first

[@KeiraIsCoollll]

Yeah like “DOES YOUR STOMACH HURT?”

[@Yanamation.]

I swear, some kid next to me in science was talking abt how he felt like he was gonna puke. And I was terrified. I kept asking to go to the bathroom to get away from him and I would just stand in the bathroom and cover my ears, trying not to cry. 😢

[@KeiraIsCoollll]

I feel you. I’m always like “PLEASE GO HOME” and it sucks :(

[@ziynebgalibova8740]

I hate when people say they feel like they're gonna be sick

[@sullyoo.n]

So many people in my class be saying they're sick and everytime they do get sick I literally have a panic attack so bad I can hear my freaking heart beating

[@yunjnfrr]

A face of sickness can make me shake already😭 I always having panic attack on school cuz i always hearing "... throw up! " or somebody saying "i dont feel good" or even i saw a face like they are feeling so bad and i auto crying shaking and trying to get out of here. I scared to go to school, its too hard for me😭

[@netab7854]

Even if get just a little tiny sick feeling I start to overthink everything I ate today and if it was bad so then I think I'm gonna throw up, and then I have a panic attack and I just start crying and it's hard to breathe, and then I get even more nauseous, so today it happened and I had to listen to an episode of the emetophobia podcast, and it calmed me down.

[@amberterry4680]

So relatable anytime someone coughs

[@UtoodKitten]

Im currently struggling alot from it im having a really hard time waking up in the morning happy anymore bc of it

[@amberterry4680]

Thank you

[@AMP_Boutique23]

When someone in my class doesn’t look good, or doesn’t feel good, my phobia is so bad that I hide in the bathroom for the rest of the day, and this video is very relatable bc I just want to scream at them “PLEASE GO HOME FOR PETES SAKE”

[@KeiraIsCoollll]

Same here, same here… :/ I always wonder why I have the phobia, as it is harmless. But I have had so many panic attacks from it :/

[@aprilfirefox9420]

This one girl was in my class and was explaining how everyone in her family got the stomach bug and I was internally freaking tf out like i get so paranoid I'll cry 😭

[@Riley.-sJoy]

Meee! I started panicking when I found I had a stomach bug a couple weeks ago. Had panic attacks after that day when I felt nauseous…..

[@kaliiexsq]

hey! as someone wit emetophobia i want to help others so here are some tips while nauseous, about to puke, or a stomach ache! If nauseous, try finding some alcohol wipes and smell it, it'll help get rid of nausea fast! If you have a stomach ache before throwing up (something I struggle with) what i do is listen to music or sleep, make sure you have a bucket next to u! Take deep breathes, its okay to cry! Not sure if this helped me once but one time my father had given me coke with limon, i felt better after but im not 100% sure if that's what made me feel better! Throwing up only lasts about 30 second don worry! And lastly, if about to throw up, try humming, but I recommend doing what your body needs to do so you can let out all the bad stuff!

[@M3LSL1TTLEB0W]

emetophobia story time ! 🤠 (if your emetophobia is really bad i don’t recommend reading this..) so it was in fifth grade and we were lining up to go inside. My classmate came running into line saying “ oh *insert name* i just barfed!” to his friends. i looked at my bsf and got really worried. he was just like “ don’t worry!! *insert name* was just kidding” . this was probably true because he was the class clown so i started to believe him. i looked down to where we were walking and saw it. this triggered me so much, i had to cover my ears and go to the front of the line because *insert name* was at the back. after that i went to the counselors office advice: tell ur school counselor that you have emetophobia so they can stop panic attacks from happening in the future. if you don’t have a counselor, tell principal or a teacher. Ty for reading❤❤

[@I_Love_Kos]

My story because of Emetophobia: So my sister gets sick a lot so she coughs and I get really really bad emetophobic attacks because of my phobia and all I can say is that my parents just told me to grow up and one day I have to get over it, but I’m kinda just standing there thinking how do I get over it? I keep thinking that I will never get over it and I still haven’t, all of this started was when I was 8. So my sister was really sick and I was just sitting on my phone, she was taking a nap and she started coughing, luckily my mom was there and grabbed a bucket. She started to throw up and I started to plug my ears and run away to my room, and that’s how my phobia started.

[@its.me.13]

no fr if any of my friends say they feel sick im always like “GO TELL THE TEACHER” and their like “im fine calm down” but then they get sick and i have an emetophobia attack

I hate having emetophobia, ever since I got sick and actually threw up, my life has not been the same, I’ve been crying almost every other day, I can’t enjoy anything because I constantly have the fear of throwing up.

[@FEL1X-YONGB0k]

This is me when someone says that I just go to full panic mode and it so bad I have to leave the room to calm down

Last year i thought i was sick, but it went on for a month. Then it ended, now, since the first day of the year, ive been feeling sick the entire time, every day, every second, and all im scared of is what will happen when im actually sick.

[@bookish_fx]

Emetophobia has literally taken over me, I'm now home schooled because of it, whenever I went to school I kept on telling my self that I would be sick😔 I eventually couldn't go to school anymore. I have it so much, every time I'm in a car, I start to feel anxious. I have nightmares about going on planes, because what if something happens😢 I don't like being out of control, it's really bad, and I know it doesn't last long or whatever but, it's wrecked me and effected my eating and social life. I've been doing lots of things to help me and I'm getting better, but I still have a mountain ahead of me. Please never make fun of someone because of this and have a Great day/night❤

[@Your_local_4lifer]

Same and I just look away from them and start having an anxiety attack by shutting my ears and leaning on the table but it’s hard because the teacher tells me to sit up and pay attention-

thats me.. It happened on last friday. A child sits back of me start to act like he is sick like he was just sitting and making weird faces. My hamds started to shake and i closed my ears and cried loud and then teacher send me to school nurse. I talked with her and end up to go back to class.. He didnt throw up but i shaked all the day😭

[@avaxemily]

I have emetophobia really bad girl! 😅Even if someone coughs or something I’m automatically anxious! Or if someone needs medicine or are 🤮 or like say their throat hurts or something! I understand it’s really hard! 😊I just push myself through and put my headphones on and watch something or do something fun to keep my mind of it! :) I normally cry but it’s just life!:) Or I don’t like anyone eating food they have been like 🤮 with before or don’t like them eating any bad foods or alot of foods!😅 It’s just something that you might get over with one day! There are lots of people with emetophobia! My cousin had it bad when he was really young! And he had a conversation with me about it and asked me questions! 😊 I would recommend if you know anyone who has emetophobia or had it then talk to them and see if there’s anything you can have help with! I’m going to CAHMS I think it’s called because of it and just general worries!:) You can do it! ❤❤😊😊

[@touchedbythetism123]

One time my friend said she felt sick and I straight up just said “go away. Go to the nurse, the bathroom, idc just go. I’ll text you why later” she already knew why though because she has a sensitive stomach and it’s not the first time she’s seen me panicking when she or someone else mentions that

[@Its_Ava_Hi]

[@yamujigaemuguyajii]

Im proud of myself for not crying and panicking or covering my ears and continuing a conversation with my friends while a girl was puk!ng kinda far away from me :> idk how I kept it together she kept on saying it hurts so much and I was like go home or to the nurse (in a very caring tone) and proceeded to sit next to her trying to calm my ass down (I looked calm on the outside) and after I went to another table she puked. I think god saved me cuz I would've started to cover my eyes and ran away while crying so hard 😅 LIKE, GO HOME FOR GODS SAKE

I have this . This winter it got verrrrry bad I wanted to go home schooled! Once this spring a kid threw up on the bus and I was about to cry and I wanted to just go out the back of the bus bc he was in front ! And when someone in public or a school says there stomach hurts I have a panic attack and I get as far away as a poxibly can or I will go to fill my water to get out of the classroom it got way better now though! I had a talk with my teacher and it's gotten way better bc she moved my seat to the way back and far from the trash cans so I would not be that scared ❤

[@Mamma_Mia116]

I HATE emetophobia- especially because my little sister was ALWAYS sick with stomach bugs as a kid😭

[@bettyyybooopp]

one time in class a guy next to me was gagging and I ran outside the classroom because I couldn’t do it anymore. I sat there next to him for like 3 min max and i didn’t want to leave because I was in the middle of my class and it would have been weird for me to just leave. He did end up throwing up. I’ll never ever everrrr be able to act normal around people who think they are going to throw up.
