My fear of vomiting has gotten so bad that I can't even take care of my 14 month old daughter who right now has the stomach virus. I've had this fear all my life and when it comes to stomach virus season I'm a mess. I feel so alone and like such an inadequate parent. I've been to therapy on and off for almost all my life and nothing seems to work. This fear is interfering with my whole life style and my relationships. Is there any advice for such a stupid but serious problem?Does anyone have advice for fear of vomiting or even being around it?
You are not alone. A lot of people share this phobia. Have you checked out this website http://www.emetophobia.org/emetophobia%2鈥?/a> I almost seclude myself and my children for 2 months because of the fear of the stomach flu. (Unfortunatley this year it didn't matter, we got it). I actually even pull my 3 %26amp; 5 year old out of preschool for about 2 months because of it. And you should see my hands, they are completely dried from all the hand washing. Its annoying, we can clone a sheep and do limb transplants, but we can't figure out a medicine to get rid of the stomach flu?! I wish I had some advice for you, but all I can do is let you know you are not the only one with this issue:-)
