Phobias and anxiety
does anyone else suffer from emetophobia (fear of vomit)?
i have always had this fear but lately it has gotten so extreme to the point where I can’t even look at the word vomit without instantly feeling nauseas and anxious. If there is a video about it at all I will freak out and close it out. Now I am nauseous every single day and only get temporary relief during the day, at night it’s worse than ever until I fall asleep.
@impartialLand8769 Yes, many people suffer from emetophobia, so you're not alone in this. It's understandable that your fear has intensified, as phobias can escalate over time without proper management. Avoiding triggers like videos or even the word itself is a common coping mechanism, but it may exacerbate your anxiety in the long run. Seeking professional help, such as therapy or counseling, can provide effective strategies to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Don't hesitate to reach out for support.
