Intense phobia please help?!


Question: Intense phobia please help!?
I have this debilitating phobia of vomiting!. I don't know where it came from although I do know it's been there pretty much my whole life!. I have anxiety too so maybe that has something to do with it!. My dad called me today and told me my mom was sick with the stomach flu and that set off a full blown panic attack - I haven't seen my mom since sunday and it's wednesday!
PLEASE tell me what I can do to get over this fearWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It really sounds like an anxiety issue!. I suffer from anxiety due to a strong depression and trust me, sometimes I overreact over the stupidest things, or get scared!. You should talk to your parents and ask them (or think yourself) if there might be anything in your past that might actually set off this phobia for vomiting!. I have this friend who's scared of lettuce leaves, just because she once saw this kid throw up after eating a salad!.!. I mean, just take it slowly, and think, why am I so scared of this!? I'm sure you'll find an answer and then you can actually start to accept, or control this phobia!.
Stay strong! :)


Oh, and btw: don't listen to the ppl who tell you to provoke yourself into puking!. You don't actually lose weight that easily, trust me, if you do, you can get throat bleeds all the time and a bunch of other nasty side effects!. Stay healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Same thing happens to me-- I think that if you just think about it honestly enough you will just get used to it and realize it is just a bodily function!.!. I start getting nervous and everything!.!. but really just think about the WORST thing that could happen!. They throw up, you throw up (because it grosses you out) but then what!? No one hates you and definitely a lot of people suffer from the same problem!. I just try avoiding situations that could involve that!.!.!. like amusement parks!? But really, nothing terrible will happen so just relax!. Also I heard that therapists actually recommend watching movies and things with vomiting in them so you just get used to it and relax about it!. I know you probably don't want to do that but it will help!. Just relax and calm down!. Really, it honestly isn't such an awful thing, so no need to fear it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your not gonna like this!.!.!.you get over it same way you get over any fear, by facing it!. I hate throwing up, Ive thrown up 10 times my whole life, but you cant let your fear run your life like this!. so what you do is go out and eat the biggest steak dinner you ever had, then when you can eat anymore order a huge chocolate fudge brownie, eat 2!. go home and spin in circles till you feel like hurling, then stick 2 fingers down your throat till you puke!. do this till your not scared anymore, its also a great way to lose weight, hope this helpedWww@Answer-Health@Com

you should see a doctor!. Have a talk to someone close to you and perhaps make an appoinment to talk to a professional councillor!. Panick attacks is something that can really hinder you espeacially as you get old!. If u dont learn to control these attacks then u can have some serious issues later in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
