I'd say it's pretty rational to be scared of vomit. I mean it's throw up is very gross and disturbing to see come out.

Normal. I'm scared of throwing up and seeing other people throw up.

"Emetophobia" Fear of vomit

Normal

Well i once was ill at a friends house and I felt so guilty and helpless. And after that I became terrified of being ill up until a year ago I made myself ill worrying about being ill. Soooo ... Anyway I had it too. I got rid of it by simply being sick and I realised it didn't hurt or it wasn't embarrassing. I was just ill
It takes time to get over it but eventually I'm sure you'll get better.

the same way here when i think i am about to puke i cry and get scared

I'm bulimic, so I don't know.

i'm the same way. i actually see a psychiatrist for it, and i have a prescription for zofran, the strongest anti-nausea medicine known to man. if you need to talk about your feelings, i've found that emetophobia.org is a very helpful site.
