How do I get over the fear of other people throwing up?!


Question: How do I get over the fear of other people throwing up?
Okay so I'm 16, and I have to share a room with my little sister (12) because my room is being redone . She feels sick right now, and I hate hearing/ seeing people throw up. If I throw up I'm fine but I can't see other people vomit! How do I get over this fear?!?!

Pretty simple. Be an intern at a hospital and experience people throwing up. You'll get used to it.



unfortunately I don't think its quite as easy as just getting rid of it, I have a friend with Emetophobia and she went 2 years without being sick, she was absolutely terrified of it, whenever her son was ill she would ship him off to her mothers which made her feel even worse, but last week she got food poisoning and was very ill, and she admitted to me afterwards that it wasn't as bad as she'd always built it up to be, so for starters try not to get yourself so worked up about it! There are lots of websites to help you cope with emetophobia on the internet, they're always going to be worth a try! You could try a book, and a slightly more extreme measure which will cost you lots more money is trying something like hypnotherapy! Why don't you go to your GP and see what they can suggest and try out some of the links below!

I hope things start getting better for you soon.
