Question: Anyone Else With My Phobia!?!.!.!.!. No Mean Comments Please!.!?
This sounds very wierd!.
And i know people will laugh!.
But i have a fear!.
Called Ematophobia!. [ think thats how its spelt ]
and that means fear of being sick!.
I have had it since i can remember!.
And i really dont know why!.
I dont know what to do about it!.
I have tried everything,
counceling
hypnotherapy
and a few other therapy sessions!.
nothing worked!.
it just made me worse!
now i live with my boyfriend!.
and he has a step son,
who i am adopting!.
and i know at some point he is going to get sick!
and i know i HAVE to get over this!.
because one day i know i will maybe catch a bug that will make me ill too!.
for years i have staved myself when i know people are catching bugs and stuff!.
i went down to being scarily underweight!
and when i met my boyfriend i think i was so happy i put on alot more weight, which was good! Because now i look better and feel better about myself!.

I'm exactly the same! I'm petrified, litrally! And to make it worse I've got an illness called cfs so when I do alot of excersize I feel sick!. I have actually got to the point where I actually felt it all the time I got so scared!. I habvnt been sick since I was 11 years old!. If you need anyone to ever talk to (I know this is weird because I don't know you) but you can always leave me a comment! :)

It's okay!. Everyone has fears of some sort!. Some are just more random than others!. If it makes you feel better, I don't have your fear but I somewhat have a fear of balloons!. Now that's embarrassing! Www@Answer-Health@Com

I suggest talking to your doctor, its more common than you thinkWww@Answer-Health@Com
quite honestly, I have a fear of blood!. But it's a fear of my own blood, anyone elses blood doesn't bother meWww@Answer-Health@Com
I'll be honest with you, being sick is horrible and I hate it!. I really understand how you feel!. I don't consider myself to have a phobia about it but it is a horrible experience and it does frighten me!.
However, remember that when it happens it only lasts a few seconds and you will feel better afterwards!. It is your body's way of cleansing itself of something that could cause it serious harm!. Please don't let it bother you too much as even though it will probably happen at some time it is very rare!. You think about it - all the days you have been on the earth compared with how many times you have been sick!. Quite a good ratio!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that catching a bug will make it better!. There's nothing to panic about though!. Its life!. I know that you have a phobia of it, I cant really empathise to you, because I don't have it, but the more you panic the worse it will get!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i don't think i'd call mine an actual phobia, but i can definitely sympathize with you!. i've always been a little germ-a-phobic!.!.!.sometimes to the extent of holding my breath when i walk by someone that i think might be sick!. but after having 2 kids you just learn to deal!. i find what helped me is visualizing myself getting sick (the throwing up stomach thing is the one that REALLY gets me)!. when i visualize myself getting sick and then getting better it helps me see it's just a temporary thing if i get sick!.!.!.it'll eventually go away!. good luck sweetie!.!.!.you're fine, you're not weird, you're just like everyone else except that you're brave enough to talk about a fear you have where as most people hide it!. try the visualization!Www@Answer-Health@Com
well my sister in law had a fear of being sick but after having twins, and becoming a single parent she had to get over it!. she is still overly worried about being around people with a slight cold and says she is terrified for when her girls start nursery and bring home the latest bug!.
don't worry that your phobia is wired, my sister has a phobia of ketchup! she gets irrational and nervous when it is used near by her and will shower immediately if any touches her!. she has been like that since she was 4 and shes 15 now!. apart from that she is completely normal lol but yeah don't worry about being wired too much, there are people out there much odder than yourself!. if your really worried see a doctor!. good luck in overcomming your fear :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

it really p!sses me off when ppl make fun of others on yahoo for no point what so ever!. calling ppl retards and whatever else has no purpose other than to make other's feel upset!. sorry venting!.
it's actually not all that weird!. you've just got it worse than some ppl!. dude it's all good in the hood!. lol!. but honestly if counselling and hypnotherapy and phsychologists can't help you than there's no point in trying again!. you need to try something else like!.!.!. living healthy; taking vitamins, good excercise and healthy food for instance!.
? good luck with that ?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't have the same problem but a similar one!. I am afraid of dying!. It was very severe when I was younger!. And not only afraid of myself dying but people that I loved!. And I would do crazy things that I thought would stop them or me from dying!. (I now know this is obsessive compulsive disorder)!. But it is very upsetting!. So I can understand how you feel!. I don't know what to tell you to do about your step-son except to keep telling yourself that everyone gets sick and it's ok!. Have you thought about medication!? I take paxil!. It has been my wonder drug!. I hope you can find some way to get some relief from this!. Good Luck Www@Answer-Health@Com
well, as u probably kno (or don't), its all in ur head!. but my question is, what exactly are u afraid of!? getting sick, or getting sick and dying!? because i don't know if you realized this or not, but people get sick all the time!. like right now, im sick!. yet, i will live to fight another day!. but i wonder if you have ever been sick!? you must have!. and your still here!. so to me, it seems you are scaring yourself!. go out and lick some door knobs, get a cold, and you'll see that it can be fun (not really, but u know what i mean)!. I rarely get sick!. my sis gave me something yesterday so now im not 100%!. but its all part of being human!. your not giving your body any credit!. its built for this stuff!. the human body is capable of more than we can imagine!. so just chillax, and face it one step at a time!. dont over do it, u might freak urself out, but start by doin things like going near someone who is sick and help them feel better!. or go to a hospital and thank god that you have a fear of sickness, and not actually dying of it!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
