A lot of people are like this. You basically can yell at yourself to stop it every time you get the feeling or tell yourself it's stupid or anything that works for you. If you take the stance that it's not allowed it can help a lot.
Maybe this website has a good link for you. http://www.webmd.com/
Hope this helps.

Thats how I am..but i dont really freak out.
You probably feel like your gonna throw up because you easily get disgusted. I'm that way too but if your sick with the flu..you can't really help if you have to throw up or not. It makes you feel better tho.

Get a grip on yourself here. When you get this notion in your head also remember that you are not sick and therefore have no reason the throw up. Do this each and every time you hear that someone might throw up. You have to work with this a little in order to overcome it. The operative reality here is that you are not sick.

I have this problem too, but I've found away to deal with it. I usually take deep breaths and try not to think about the subject that made me think about it, or think about vomit. In all the times I've felt this way, I have never actually thrown up, and when I remind myself of this, I begin to feel better.

i used to have that too, u just have to believe without telling yourself over and over again that u will not throw up, the power of positive thinking!

Ask yourself what caused you to let fear take over.
