Is it wrong of me to be terrified of throw up?!


Question: Is it wrong of me to be terrified of throw up?
I hate it! I hate the noise, I hate the look! I HATE throwing up. It hurts my own feelings though, that I get really terrified when a person throws up, and I act like I don't even want to be near someone. Even if they are just sick out of food or something. I'm just scared of getting it! I'm a really sweet and hospitable person, and I LOVE to help people feel better, and maybe even one day be a nurse, but I'm really terrified of it. I hate germs also, I have so many hand sanitizers, and I like everything clean, I just don't like it. ]: I feel bad for making others feel bad... Help?

Answers:

Yeah I think I have a fear of vomiting, too. Whenever I hear or see someone throwing up it makes me feel nauseous. Even if someone tells me they have a stomach ache and feel like they might throw up causes me to get a gurgly stomach myself.

When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I was not afraid of the pain. I was mostly afraid that the medicine might make me throw up (it didn't). Same thing with giving blood. I know someone who always throws up when he gives blood, and so I am too scared to give blood just because of this fact, though I would love to give blood and tried once, but they wouldn't let me because I was nervous which caused my pulse to be too high.

But, yeah, you're not the only one :)



Um for 1. this is a huge phobia thing you should watch this show about disorders and phobia's they actually had a girl that hated,freak out when she seen anyone puke or the sound of it or the look of it but yeah i think you can get over it i may be wrong I'm not a doctor but it seems like your going into that direction.



I don't think anyone likes vomit. Some of the worst childhood experiences for me involve throwing up. It happens, just excuse yourself from the scene if you can't help or feel really bad. Your just empathizing with the other person (maybe too much); I think that makes you a decent person. Your feelings of guilt are also part of that.

You hate germs eh? Well your covered with them inside and out, nothing to freak out about. Most of them are your friends. Please don't use hand sanitizers, wash your hands instead.

Nah, that's like asking if it's wrong for a person to be afraid of heights. I'm in the same situation as you. When someone is throwing up it's like ew ew ew ew! Ahah, and I'm so scared to throw up :L I haven't thrown up since like elementary school. And that's good that you're very clean. You'll be preventing common colds and stuff (: And if you tell people how you feel, I'm sure they wonht take it personally. Hope I helped and good luck!



I used to be scared when I was a kid now I look at it like this when I get the flu, easy way to lose a couple of pounds :) BUT you have germaphobia, you need to seek professional medical help to stop being so scared and clean



there is something called emetophobia, the abnormal fear of vomit(ing). Emeto- means vomit.



Go to a party with a bunch of drunk people and just get yourself used to it.



its not wrong im the same way
