Does any have emetophobia(fear of being sick)??
I know this is abit of a weird post.. But I was curious if anyone else has emetophobia because I have it and I've had it like since I was really young.. And to make things worse I get really bad acid reflux especially after I eat food.. So I feel sick quite a lot which then I panick about and I was just wandering if anyone has this?? :/
Yes, but it's a very mild case for me now. Whenever I get sick, I get ear infections and 50% of the time I get a Migraine when I'm sick. Being sick makes me have so much Anxiety, it's crazy. I do take medication for my Anxiety, but thankfully I don't take as often unless I really need it. Other than that, I don't really take it. But most definitely for me, I am always so afraid to get sick and just thinking about getting sick gives me anxiety. I hope all of you have a wonderful day/night! :)

@Jesskate1996 ME I have this! I didn't even know it had a name. I've had it since I was a child. I get terrible motion sickness. I'm in the "older" class of folks here on 7Cups I have 2 grown kids. I'm just thankful someone else shares my affliction. I'm also a germophobe.

Hi, Jess :)
I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this for so long, but emetophobia is actually fairly common.
If you need to talk about anything feel free to message me whenever you need to :)

Hi!
I'm also emetophobic. I learned about this phobia years ago.
It is still very hard for me to live with it, especially during winter/spring. My fear is also covering many aspects such as vomiting in public, hearing or seeing someone being sick and fear of vomiting. I am already apprehensive of stomach flu.
However, I have been very lucky because I didn't vomit since I'm about 11 years old - I'm 25.
I am very sorry for you who live with this phobia. I know how hard it is to live and speak about it because, let's be honest, this phobia is quite misunderstood - We all heard this famous phrase : Nobody likes to vomit! Bla bla bla.
HUGS TO YOU. 
I have this phobia. I've had it for my whole life but I only just recently learned it had a name. I've always felt so weird and freakish because of it, but I'm glad people online at least get it.
