I have a phobia of vomiting?!

Question: It causes me a large amount of anxiety. I am 14, and don't get to enjoy life much because of this. Does anyone know a way to prevent vomiting or gagging from occuring? I asked someone else before, and they just said to throw up, but I do not want to try that. Is there any other ways?

This is called emetophobia. It is well known and many people suffer from it. You need treatment for the phobia rather than treatment to suppress vomiting, as the latter is a biological response to expel poisonous matter from the stomach.
