The Life of An Emetophobia SuffererI wanted to share with you a little view inside the life of an emetophobia sufferer. If you're unfamiliar with this type of phobia, it is when a person has this irrational fear of vomiting in public. Some people have it so bad that they can actually turn off the vomit reflex. When I first heard of this, I thought it wasn't really that big of a deal to have. I have a fear of vomiting in public. Who wants to get sick in front of a group of people? The keyword here is the term irrational.Most people don't want to vomit in public and if they did, they'd probably be embarrassed. You'd still goto the grocery store and shop. You'd still go to a restaurant with friends. You'd still live your life. Here is how the irrational part comes in. Sufferers of emetophobia will eventually stop eating at restaurants. They don't know what is happening in the kitchen. They can't guarantee the food has no germs that will make them sick. It's similar in grocery stores. Someone could have a cold that could easily be passed onto them, causing them to vomit. As you can see this is a very entrapping phobia that takes a grip over the sufferers life. The vast majority of sufferers end up closing off from the world because it's really the only way to stay safe. Their home can be the only sanctuary where they can control things. If you've known someone that suffers from this you'll want to help them. The good thing is that there are treatment methods that can allow emetophobia sufferers to take their life back.
