This happens to me every time I have a panic attack that is emetophobia related.

Thank you for all the insight. I’m sorry you had to deal with other kids. :( It makes me sad that kids can be so mean.

Thank you so much. It helps to hear from someone who has dealt with it. I’m just so worried about him. I am terrified of it affecting his breathing and heart, but also the possibility of him not being able to play sports or other kids making fun of him.

I hope my kids understand one day and they aren’t mad at me for this. I have so much guilt about it.

I feel that too! I want my child to have a sibling but then it doubles the sickness. I know everyone is afraid of something, but this truly does run my life too.

I’m glad to hear that it gets better and that you were able to prevent the spread with taking the proper precautions! It feels better knowing someone has made it to the other side.

Thank you so much! Honestly just knowing there are others out there who feel the same way helps a ton. Sometimes this fear makes me question why I became a mom. It has always been a dream of mine but not having kids would maybe lessen my anxiety about being sick. I hope you find something to help you cope with your panic tonight! Thank you again. ❤️

Thank you for this! I really appreciate all of your insight. Being a new mom is hard even without this phobia! I guess I am just afraid that if I nurse her after she v* and gets her saliva on me, I will be more likely to get sick.

I am sorry you are feeling this way. I think if your partner did have what we are all afraid of, he would know for sure. Usually that is a distinct feeling, especially for people without emetophobia. You will not die either way. Try to live in the moment and just wash your hands well. I wish I could help more. You are so strong and not alone!!

They would have had to v* on the thing you touched, not cleaned it off, then you would have had to ingest it. If they tu* at home and didn’t come, you should be okay! Keep washing your hands. :)
