    The above is the only way of simply describing my phobia

    Does anyone here have a phobia of vomiting so much so that it causes you to act strange?

    Is your phobia around the act of vomiting, the thought of vomiting or someone else vomiting? Everyone hates vomiting.........baaaarf

    Yeah i wouldnt say your alone in fearing the onset of some good old stomach spasm vomit session. Very unpleasant altogether, but just one of those things that happily for most, doesnt happen very often.

    My mother has a huge fear of getting sick. She works herself into such a panic when she knows she's going to throw up. Her fear is choking on her vomit.
    I usually have to treat her firmly like a child, telling her to relax / calm down, that I'm there and nothing will happen. But I do it in a 'this isn't a serious issue' tone, because if I get annoyed / agitated, it's only going to make her worse. It does help and over the years I think we've managed to reduce her fear slightly, she's not *As* bad when she's going to be sick. It probably helps that I've no issue with being sick myself, or being around people getting sick, so I don't react in any way.
