Had this for years. It was before I even knew OCD existed and it was really rough; took over my life. It's still around but way less intense and I can actually read and say words related to it without being terrified it will happen. I wish I could give you some better advice. :/ Best wishes.

God yes. Or like catching the stomach virus or getting food poisoning. The only thing I've really done is when I eat food that maybe upsets my stomach so I start getting those thoughts... I say we'll maybe this food will make me throw up, maybe it wont...until then I'm going to keep on doing what ever I want. Then each time the thoughts try to hit after that I just let them come and go and don't get into a worry fit or convince myself I'm ok.

Any tips?
This is my first time posting - I have a fear of throw up and I’ve been told it is cause from my OCD (repetitive thoughts) which makes sense because if someone gets sick it replays over and over again and I can’t get it out of my head. It’s gotten a lot worse in the past maybe two years. I’m always on edge that someone is going to get sick around me. I’ve heard the “best or most common” way to help with this is exposure therapy and OBVIOUSLY I don’t want to do that. Anyone have any tips or anything for this (or maybe have done the exposure therapy)?

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
