At first, it revolved around not wanting to hear my mom’s “scromiting” (screaming-vomiting), and if I could just block that sound from my ears all was well. Before I could even walk I was covering my ears when anyone was sick according to several family members & my own memories. Gradually, the fear spread to include others in the family getting sick and finally included me as well. So now I’m just utterly terrified that anyone in the same house as me will get sick, that I’ll have to hear it/see it or that I will catch it myself. And after it’s long passed I’ll replay the incident over & over in my mind, particularly the exact moment when I first found out someone was ill. It doesn’t stop when the sickness is over.

I’ve spent many cold winter nights sleeping in cars or using the restroom outside because I couldn’t bring myself to go back inside with the sick person. Probably not so safe for a little girl to be doing those things. Even spent some time in a psych ward because of this stupid phobia and the nurses just laughed & didn’t understand in the slightest. I hadn’t eaten or slept in days & my hands were bleeding from washing them so much. Yeah, SO funny šŸ˜

This phobia runs in my family, which I only found out as an adult. 5 members have it to varying degrees–my young niece almost as bad as me. There’s definitely a genetic component. I’ve been diagnosed with OCD, depression, Asperger’s, ARFID & several anxiety disorders in addition to the phobia. Hope to have some relief for myself & all other sufferers one day!

Although it doesnā€™t make the problem go away. What I do is scare myself so much into thinking Iā€™m going to vomit I then sit up with a cup of peppermint tea and read things like this all through the night…
I donā€™t even really know how servere I have this phobia.. all I know is I worry and am scared every single day of my life.. I looking at dates on food all the time.. I drink a ton of peppermint tea . I worry myself that much that I spend most nights in fear that Iā€™m sitting in bed physically shaking with fear… reading on the internet maybe isnā€™t the most clever thing to do.. but you can never read and hopefully learn enough.. I canā€™t self help as I really donā€™t want to look at images but Iā€™m hoping one day to be free of living like this

I’ve researched a few years ago, but didn’t find much on this phobia. I came across this article because I want to learn how to get rid of this fear ( I can’t do much with out thinking about this, and it’s not letting me experience life the way I want to). I’m 22 years old and I’ve had this irrational fear since I was about 7 years old. As you said, not many are familiar with this phobia, so I’m hesitant and don’t know where to get help.

As I’m walking I will plan where I would hide if I did need to get sick. I also suffer with acid reflux so I feel sick 90% of the day I don’t drink as I don’t want to get sick. I don’t watch tv I tend to stick to watching the same series on Netflix over and over if I do happen to watch a film I switch over if I know there’s a vomiting scene coming up. I have lived with this for so long I just wish to be normal for just one day and not feel like this. I can’t even go to my daughters parents evening because I don’t know where the toilets are or how long it would take me to get to them. To read it actually is a phobia and I can get help is making me smile as I thought I was on my own with this forever I will slowly take steps to helping myself become normal again thank you for sharing this page.
