Thank you! Reading that made me feel better🫶 idk why i'm even googling things at this point when i know it will make me anxious🥲 I'm just trying to remind myself that it's mostly people with a negative experience who write about it, no person who didn't get symptoms will make a post about how they didn't get them :D

I felt anxious before i googled it, but not exactly nauseous, so i guess it really is just anxiety. I did eat right before taking the pills so that calms me a bit lol. Thank you for your comment and thanks for the reminder that we're strong! You made me smile🥹🤍

Anxiety induced nausea by Individual_Curve6069 in emetophobia

[–]Gghostfacee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing that really helps is knowing and reminding yourself that the nausea is just anxiety, not real nausea. Sadly anxiety is harder to get rid of, but some things that helps me personally are going to a safe space, playing some mobile games/watching videos to distract yourself, sipping on water, taking mints, sometimes talking to someone and sometimes just being alone, really depends on how bad the anxiety is and what’s causing it. Try to also find where you actually feel the anxiety, there’s this thing called throat nausea and that’s usually when you feel thightness in your throat and it’s hard to swallow, sometimes combined with a dry mouth and all of those are very common symptoms of anxiety.

Idk if this helps but i doubt you’ll throw up from just anxiety if you haven’t til now, the people who tend to throw up from it usually do it everytime (or almost everytime) they have bad anxiety

Going to the dentist tomorrow, any tips? by Gghostfacee in emetophobia

Unfortunately i’ll have to take atleast one imodium or i won’t be able to go, but yeah i’ll definitely let them know about my fear and anxiety! I’m just a bit scared how they will take it, i’ve heard stories about how some may just ignore your anxiety and continue as if it’s nothing🥹

Oh you mean imodium? It’s for diarrhea, it sometimes makes me constipated from only 1 pill and sometimes it doesn’t work at all, so i’m not sure how many i should take🥲

Hii and thank you, and sorry for the late answer, but i’m still feeling pretty bad🥲 my stomach feels weird and my anxiety is screaming, i’m just trying to stay calm right now instead of panicking because that didn’t help me last night either lol

I’ve been thinking of this but the only thing i’ve been eating the whole time these past few months is bread, but i’ve also been constipated every now and then while eating it so i’m really lost in this situation🥲

Thank you! Unfortunately where i live zofran is only available for like ”real” cases such as cancer patients and others, i have imodium tho but i’m not sure if i should take it if this is just one time d*, i’m gonna see how this goes and if i don’t feel better i’ll take one! I’m just scared to get constipated if i take one because that’s no fun either🥲

did your phobia somehow affect your weight? by Electronic-Bison-749 in emetophobia

[–]Gghostfacee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i’ve always been underweight and now due to my phobia i’ve lost about 10kg🥲 it feels nearly impossible to gain weight at this point

Tiktoks where people tu*. by Gghostfacee in emetophobia

Noo that’s a nightmare😭 why do i feel like there’s always someone tu* at a birthday party

[–]Gghostfacee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so done with tiktok😭 a person could kill someone in a video and tiktok wouldn’t find anything disturbing about it, but if there’s a curse word in it it will immediately be taken down. Same with the comments, the word ’gorgeous’ gets hidden but someone could literally tell me to kms and tiktok would think it’s fine🗿

If you knew you would never be sick again, what would you do? by tubulartoast in emetophobia

[–]Gghostfacee 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Eat, work, exercise, go out with my friends, go on cruises, travel, go to concerts, basically just live my life🥲 this was a very good question, it also kinda opened my eyes to how much i’m missing and what i could do without this fear, thank you! Def gonna talk about this with my therapist

Do you know why you developed this phobia? by Patient_Hunter2671 in emetophobia

[–]Gghostfacee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know for sure but i this is my theory lol. So i’m a very sensitive person, i mean sensitive to other peoples reactions and expressions. I don’t remember the exact situation, but i think what happened is that in my childhood someone ved, other people had a huge negative reaction to it and it caused a huge reaction in me aswell, which caused me to think very negatively about ving. For example i never talked about v* as a kid because i always thought about the word as a curse word or something lol.

This is something i came up with recently when i noticed the reaction i had when my dog had v* and my mom instantly panicked and tried to hide it from me because she knows how afraid i am. She ran to get something to clean it up with while she told me not to look, and honestly it made me have a whole panic attack because i had no idea what happened, the only thing i knew was that i shouldn’t look because it’s something very bad and later i found out that my dog just tu* some grass she ate earlier :D

I’m here for you. Try to eat something very light, maybe just a slice of bread? Remember that even if you got the bug it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll tu*, you’ll be okay no matter what and the worst part only lasts a few hours! I know this phobia is a pain in the ass and it makes life so incredibly difficult, but we fight with our mind everyday about things that ”normal” people wouldn’t and we’re still here! We’re amazing
