Fear of Vomiting/Nausea


for 20 år siden 0 239 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi Tigergril, Yeup, I do think I’m going to vomit more than other people. Also have that horrible feeling you describe for about 20 mins after I’ve eaten anything. Really sucks. The times that I have vomited in the last 10 years or so have all been because I’ve drunk too much. The last time I vomited I had a massive panic attack, this was before I knew what a panic attack was. Before this I’d had panic attacks while intoxicated and not known what was going on. I’m a massive lightweight where alcohol, or anything else, is concerned. That coupled with the fact I hardly drink. So when I did it was like ‘whoa’ my body just couldn’t take it. Haven’t touched the stuff for a little over a year now. Haven’t wanted to, just a personal choice. I’ve never vomited while sober even when I’ve been convinced I was going to with a panic attack, never happened and I’m so thankful for this. Still doesn’t stop that horrible nausea with panic. I’m kinda used to it now, after eating. So it doesn’t bother me as much as it did. But every now and again I’ll have a panic attack after eating and then it’s over, and I’m glad again. These days though, I just get a little anxious without it escalating into a full blown attack. Like I said before, routine has had a lot to do with this. At the same time it can make you a slave to routine. I was a little concerned of this happening to begin with. But now I can eat little things without having planned ahead, and I don’t panic. I’m beginning to ramble on now lol. The times I’ve vomited while intoxicated have been terrible. I panicked and couldn’t stop the vomiting, or catch my breath, I’d choke like anything, think I was going to pass out and die at any moment. Couldn’t speak to anyone to say ‘I’m really scared right now’that was probably the worse part, not being able to speak. One time I did it at a pub I’d only had one beer. Heh,that’s how light weight I am! Anyway I panicked and vomited for about 3 hours, it was terrifying. Sorry to hear you’ve had this problems for so long, that’s really harsh. Something else you might like to try is enzymes.

hi! the scene is from butterfly effect is where he wakes up after one of his trips to the past. he's laying in bed and wakes me puking. gross, huh? i also heard about the vinager thing and it does work. i used to eat pickles all the time and sip the juice to quiet my tummy. but the salt thing works the best for me. i don't know why and everyone thinks i'm nuts for it, but i don't care if it keeps me from getting sick. do you also feel like your going to vomit way more than anyone else you know? i have always had that problem as far back as like 5 years old. almost everytime i eat for about 20 minutes i feel horrible. or if i wait too long to eat. can't win for losing, can ya? would you like to talk share other symptoms and see if we can't find a common link to maybe help fix this "problem"

heh, I watched the Butterfly Effect and I don't even remember that scene! That's gotta be a good thing. I get really anxious and afraid whenever I'm confronted with vomit. It's been one of my biggest fears and obsession throughout panic. I can relate to what everyone has said here. Like looking into a mirror! That salt thing is interesting, gotta give that a go. Another home remedy for nausea is cider vinegar. Just mix a couple of tea spoons of it in a glass of water and sip on it slowly. I read on this forum about six months ago, someone said that vinegar helps with anxiety also. They said rice vinegar in particular is good for anxiety. I've never tried that myself, but it's worth a shot. If you're feeling as if you're going to vomit in public try to realign your attitude by thinking of everyone as helpers. That's what I do. So if the worse comes to worse, there'll be plenty of people around you to assist you. That's one tactic you could use while you're at school. Also using past tense as an example helps. So if you're in a class and your starting to panic. Say to yourself something like, "this happened yesterday and I didn't vomit, so why should today be any different?" This is easier said than done, but try to put the panic off when you're at school. Routine is really good for panic. It helped me tremendously. You really have to go through the fear. I used to panic, still do sometimes, after eating anything. So I confronted the fears, as much as I didn't want to, and it slowly got better. If you could make a routine, set up a time for your fears. It's a great, because it gives you some control and a sense of purpose for the whole thing. It's not going to happen over night, it'll happen slowly. Setting a time for fears will let you say "later" to fears at the times you don't want to be bombarded with them. But you gotta follow through with it. Running from panic will only make it stronger. It's not easy overcoming fears but as hard as it is, it's just as possible. Take care.

Hiya Cheryl For as long as i can remember i've had a fear of illness, and in particular vomitting or feeling sick, being sick etc. I've never overcome this fear as yet, but i think i am getting better. I thought i was the only one with this overwhelming fear.. and like you, i just need to have a slight stomach twinge and my anxiety shoots through the roof and i'm fighting off panic attacks. Unfortunately when i am feeling very bad i have to watch exactly what i eat, i wont eat out for fear of food poisoning and i over cook everything!! I'm 21 now and during my university degree i had my first panic attack. I did make it through, and i graduated, however i didnt go to one lecture in my last year. The university was ok about it, as i was seein the university counsillors and student support. All i can tell u is not to give up, and try anything to distract ur mind from panic. I use to cover my notes in doodles and messages to myself to keep my cool, and it worked for a short time. However for me, i had some very hard issues to deal with in my personal life. and so i feel i failed, for i havent been able to set foot in a lecture theatre since. I wish u luck with your studies, dont let ur anxiety beat u, and dont let it stand in ur way on your journey to a career. Stay strong and hang in there Sarah xxx

hi chyrl, i have had anxiety attacks since i was 16 and i'm now 29. but for as long as i can remember i have been totally phobic of vomit! whether it be myself or seeing, smelling, or hearing someone else doing it. even to see a small part in a movie where someone pukes is enough to make me cringe and feel sick! i am still phobic of vomiting myself, but i think i may be getting better because my husband pointed something out to me the other day when we were watching the movie the butterfly effect. the guy pukes in his sleep, and i didn't freak out or cover my eyes or get sick to my stomach. for me i think it's due to having children. because they throw up and they make a mess when they do it! but as a parent you just have to hold it in and help them. it's gross and nasty, but love overcomes it. as far as being phobic of vomiting yourself, i can completely understand! i will do anything i can not to throw up! jump in a freezing cold shower, eat salt (i know it sounds strange as hell, but a little bit of salt always works for me). i could be to the point of chin quivers and my mouth filling with saliva because it's right there, and a little bit of salt eases something and helps. now when or if you have the stomach flu or food poisening this doesn't work. i end up just not letting the vomit come. nobody understands this or how i can do it, but i do. but i always keep the virus longer than anyone else, too. but i would much rather feel gross for three days than to throw up over and over!!! do you also feel like your going to die when you vomit. like you can't catch your breath and your heart is pounding out of your body? well, what a gross subject, huh?! i just want you to know that you are not alone. but don't let the fear keep you from finishing your schooling!!! if it's just an upset stomach, it will pass, every time if you let it.

Hi there, I recently joined this community and I wanted to see if anyone had any coping mechanisms or help for me regarding my fears. For as long as I can remember I have been afraid of vomiting, particularly afraid of feeling sick when I am out and not able to get home or escape from whatever situation I am in. I don't know if I will ever be able to feel sick to my stomach without getting a panic attack, but I need to manage it to a certain degree so that I can make it through school and life. You see, I am entering a Masters Program next week at a very rigorous school where attendance is mandatory and the idea of not being able to leave or failing out if I feel sick and can't make it to a couple classes is giving me panic attacks ahead of time! Unfortunately my panic attacks often arise just form a bout of indigestion or a bad headache, anything that makes me feel like it might be the beginning of a stomach virus or food poisoning. Unfortunately I am not sure if I will be able to discuss this with my teachers because the Masters Program is in a very ironic subject- counseling. I don't want to make this too long I was just hoping for any advice on what others have done in class to make it thru the class when they have a panic attack. In college I often started writing in the back of my notebook or pinched myself to distract myself. Any other tips?
