Ever since i was little i have been extremly afraid of vomit. It terrifies me. i couldnt be more scared if you caged me in with a bear! i get lightheaded, my heart races, i get dizzy, im utterly terrified. its the worst feeling ever. i cant stand to be in a large crowd or auditorium, concerts, anything like that because im soo afraid someone is going to vomit on me. i dont like holding babies because im afraid they are going to vomit on me. i dont even like to go to amusement parks. & i love rollercoasters, but i dont ride them because all i think about the entire time i someone vomiting on me! its horrible. my family & friends get so aggravated with me, but i cannot control this fear. it really limits alot of things i want to do in the future.
i just really wish i could overcome this horrible fear. i just want to be normal. i want to go to concerts, amusement parks, and things like that with my friends without being paranoid that someone will vomit on me.
please help........

having fears is incredibly normal. everyone if afraid of something. your fear just needs to be looked at logically. people throw up all the time if theyre sick or drunk or whatever. now honestly...riding rollercoasters..the chance of someone throwing up is small..the chance that they'll vomit on YOU is ever smaller. go to a therapist and try to work it out.

The right therapist can be of some help. it will require that you are slowly exposed to what you fear the most. But eventually you can become desensitized. It will take a lot of work on your part as well as a good therapist but can you imagine what lies ahead for you when you have overcome this phobia. If you elect not to try to overcome this it can lead to more inclusive fears of crowds, and eventually you could become almost totally dysfunctional, locked away inside your home unable to come out into the rest of society. Do not risk those kinds of problems in the future, and have the courage to deal with this now. Remember you can only live one day at a time. No use worrying about the past or the future, as you can not change anything really.

You just need some therapy to work this out, maybe hypnotherapy will be good for you
