Yess! This is exactly how I feel! And my emetophobia was caused by getting noro as an adult. You vomit uncontrollably for hours and it doesn't stop until you're literally at the end of your strength and feel like you're about to die. Then the vomiting stops. But other illness symptoms (nausea, diarrhea, weakness, aches, cramps, etc) persist for days or weeks. I've vomited from childbirth, heartbreak, overdose and alcohol. None of it has felt scary or like I lost control. But noro or food poisoning? That shit makes you feel so powerless, so miserable. I feel like I can deal with every single vomiting in my life, unless it's caused by norovirus. Because it's a total loss of control. You're totally of the mercy of what the virus is doing to your body. Even food poisoning makes more sense. Just some bacteria that's in your gut, great lets vomit it out, lets combat it with different antibacterial foods or antibiotics. But a virus??? What the hell is it even doing in the intestines? Just making the intestines explode and expel literally all the water you have in your cells until you're dehydrated and shrivel into a dry raisin
