Vomiting is my number one phobia. The last time I thought someone had the stomach flu at my house, I collapsed and nearly passed out from sheer terror. Also, my fear of vomiting is what fueled my ritualistic hand-washing, showering and insomnia back when my OCD was out of control. I think the incident that caused me to become so terrified of vomiting was when I was a little kid and had the dry heaves. It was very painful for me; my abdomen was sore for days afterwards.
Is it normal that I'm really scared of throwing up?
