Is it normal to be afraid of throwing up in public

Of course it is, noone wants to chuck up anyway. And when they do, they're either sick and at home or pissed out of their mind.

Is it called emetophobia? It's quite a common phobia and it's nothing to be ashamed of or worried about. It's a horrible thing to have, though, and I really feel for you. Ive been sick on the side of the road far too many times (due to car sickness) and it's embarrassing and makes your throat hurt but you will always feel better afterwards. I find as long as I remember that it makes it less bad.

Sometimes I feel like there is nothing more annoying, disgusting, and unpleasent than puking. It seems like I'm always obsessing about it. But what I have to tell myself is that puking is a normal bodily function, just as sneezing or coughing is. If you're anything like me, you'd agree that life is more of a burden than a blessing, and if your afraid of puke/pain, you're afraid to live. I am afraid to live...

Yeah, this is one of mine. I had such a phobia of throwing up in general that I kept a stock of anti-emetics. Sounds potentially sarcastic, actually true. I was a weird kid. If I had a time machine, I'd go back and talk to myself. As for you, I don't know. It was normal for my existence, but I don't think it was normal in general. It was a full-on phobia. And I'm sorry you're in the same position.

this fear actually keeps me from doing daily things like going to school

Shitting in your dress or pants is much,much better than that,it's fantastic.

I laughed my ass off at a guy that was blowing chunks from a ride that I considered light. I'm not an adrenaline junkie, nor do I enjoy roller coasters. I would be embarrassed too, if I puked in public, especially if it was due to a pathetic little ride, and three douches watched and snickered in the background as the trash filled up with my green chunky goop.

I was like this too. Untill I went to a parade last year and started smoking and and mixing drinks like crazy. I was so fucked up I couldn't even walk. I remember my brother was holding me, and I threw up right in the middle of the street in front of everyone. Good times.
