Emetophobia
Does anyone also suffer from emetophobia? Am I alone in this? It feels like I am and like no one truly understands me.

That’s normal :) I just read a little on it earlier, that it can come with Ocd or it’s just something people get I don’t remember

Yes I have emetophobia as well you are not alone! In fact whenever I feel the slightest bit of nausea or feel like I’m gonna vomit I get a intrusive image of when I was a kid and threw up all over the floor and I feel a rush of anxiety, I’ve gone out of my way to make sure I haven’t thrown up in years because it scares me to my core. I’m sorry your going through this I wish you the best 🫶

I have emetophobia and you are NOT alone! 💕 I have felt alone with this my entire life so I understand the isolation. People around me in my circle look at me like I'm ridiculous when I have panic attacks about being sick or when I engage in avoidant behavior. People think that it should be one of those things I just "turn off" and "just relax" or "it's not a big deal". I send myself into panic attacks over feelings of nausea to the extent that I scare people because they just don't know what to do. I've been dealing with this for 20 years, since I was 8 years old. I see you! 🙌🏼

Am I the only one! I’m panicking
I went out with my partner today to spend the day together and try and do some ERP. the whole time I linked my arm and had my phone in my other hand. I would purposely move out the way for children or notify her so she could see I didn’t do anything. Please tell me I’m not the only one with this type of harm OCD. I’m really panicking and it’s making me feel sick. I had that feeling where my stomach drops and I’m scared of my thoughts

Feeling alone with OCD
Sometimes I feel like nobody really gets me. Nobody knows what’s going on in my head. I try to explain in vivid detail, but my ocd immediately reads the other persons face and registers that they don’t get it. It’s a very isolating experience. Anyone else have something like this?

any tips on how to get rid of terrible thoughts?
hi im a fifteen year old girl with really bad ocd and emetaphobia nobody knows my fear except for my best friend and my sister. its so hard to even say the word or even type the word so i just say “sick” even typing this out makes my heart race and my hands sweaty. ive been really struggling with ocd for almost a year its gotten worst about every month. its always on my mind. i have a therapist but i cant even tell them about my anxiety and thoughts that go on in my head. my whole family is watching me fall deeper and deeper into this dark whole that i dont know how to get out of. its feels awful to see everyone around you watch you fail over and over again. please forgive me if this was graphic thank you
