I've struggled from emetophobia for my entire life and it's been the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I need to tell u that it does get worse. It got to the point with me where I swore I thought it got the worst it could get, only for it to keep escalating into this thing that controlled every second of my life. I've recently started to tackle it and it has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but never in my life have I been able to say that my emetophobia has gotten better. I can say that now. I still have a very long way to go but I want u to know that it's so important that u tackle this. It's seriously a horrible thing. Best of luck to you. I know from experience that its most definitely not easy.

Do you have referral for someone in Los Angeles who can help with this? I am having a hard time finding someone online who specializes in emetophobia exposure therapy.

I've had emetophobia for close to 14 years now. I did so well for a few years but recently it's been terrible and debilitating. The OCD part is getting worse where I find myself freaking out and obsessing over different things that eventually lead back to the fear of throwing up. I've done CBT for about 10 years and recently started EMDR therapy. I'm just so sick of this. I'm willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get rid of this! Even if it's simulating vomiting. I just need the hope that I can heal and that it gets better. It's effecting my health, my schoolwork, my work, my marriage, my friendships, etc. Please, if you have any suggestions, let me know.

The answer is Jesus. I have had emetophobia for 6 years now. I have had no hope of overcoming for the past five years until one year ago when I became a Christian- i can say with confidence that JESUS gave me peace and hope that goes beyond understanding this past year. I know how this phobia has held you back. It’s debilitating. It’s exauhasting physically, emotionally and mentally. I still struggle. But God is so faithful. There is nothing he cant do. He has given me peace, confidence, and bravery whenever i trust him and not doubt. It’s hard. God never said you wont go through it, he just said you will never be alone. So even if i do throw up, i know God will lift me back up again. Ive been fighting this fight without him for the last five years- now involving JESUS I already won. There is hope. (
Check out the gospels :)

I am a Christian and I have struggled with this phobia for a while. It has gotten worse and then better and then worse again. But a few things I’ve learned are that
God will be there helping me through this even if He doesn’t take the fear away.
Avoiding it and pretending that I’m fine when I’m not only makes it worse. In moments when I start spiraling into anxiety and fear I acknowledge this and go to God in prayer and combatting the enemy’s lies with scripture.
Mental illness and fear are backed by a spirit. This anxiety is not something wrong with me it’s something a spirit is putting on me. So pray on the armor of God from Ephesians to battle this spiritual attack.

Jesus is the answer. His name Yeshua means savior because He does save!

I was feeling increasingly frustrated with my emetophobia as it caused me to experience extreme paranoia and prevented me from enjoying activities that I would otherwise love.
For example, while I loved going to concerts, the mere possibility of someone getting sick due to alcohol consumption on the way or during the event would fill me with anxiety.
I stopped attending parties altogether as I was afraid people might get sick after drinking, which led to me losing most of my friends. Even if someone expressed slight nausea, it was difficult for me to be around them.
I couldn't watch movies without someone reviewing them first, and I stopped going to cinemas, despite my passion for film.

Then, I discovered http://fearofvomit.info and read through the entire program before deciding to give their recovery program a try, despite having little hope.
To my surprise, I noticed positive changes in myself after completing the initial steps of the program. I appreciated that the program was easy to follow and that finally, someone understood how I felt.
