Anyone else with Emetophobia?

[GoldMeddle]

If you don't know what that is, basically emetophobia is the fear of vomiting. I am well aware that everybody dislikes vomiting, but most people don't actively fear getting sick if their stomach is just a bit upset. As is the case with me.

What, if anything, helped?

I wouldn't say I have severe emetophobia (I can eat meat at restaurants and ride the bus and whatnot) but it definitely exists, and it's an extremely bothersome anxiety.

(I put this in the health and fitness category because it pertains to mental health)

I have emetophobia, and when I was four, I had a severe case of GERD, so I basically threw up every day, and then had the emetophobia to deal with. I got over it by exposing myself to things that would make me vomit as a 6 year old (dirty things, bad smells, etc.) and every day, I got better and I overcame it. I still have a bit of it today, but it is much less than it was 10 years ago
