- I'm here to talk you through a panic attack triggered by emetophobia. You can do this. I hope this helps! Let me know in the comments if you want or need to see anymore of these sorts of videos.
trigger warning
For those of you that don't know what emetophobia is, I can sum it up by saying that it is an intense fear of all things related to throwing up. It is an extremely hard phobia, like all phobias, to adapt to.
French Description:
Je suis là pour t'aider à traverser une crise d'angoisse déclenchée par l'émétophobie. Tu peux y arriver. J'espère que ça t'aide ! Dis-moi en commentaire si tu veux ou si tu as besoin de voir plus de vidéos dans ce style.
Sur le tableau en arrière plan : « Respire, tu peux le faire »
Sometimes it makes me feel so guilty if a family member or friend is sick, and they want me to be with them but I just can't because it causes me so much panic and anxiety and I just feel so selfish. I'm terrified everyday of being sick and nothing scares me more than that
lovelyizzy me with my sister :(
lovelyizzy me too
My brother was just sick at 6:30am and he asked me to help him but I couldn't and I feel horrible for it. But it's also tough because he doesn't know or understand the things I go through when one of my family members is sick. They tell me "you're not the one who's sick" etc and it makes me feel horrible
Yeah, my friend had a cold and came over to play (I was 8) and I told her to go home and rest. I felt bad :(
Same! When someone in my fam is sick and they ask me to take care of them im like "uhhh i cant" and they'll get mad. I feel bad and guilty
POV: you’re here because you’ve just had another emetophobia panic attack 🥺😔
Me
“Your not going to be sick” I’ve wanted to hear this since I was 9 years old thank you so much.
@@herbertcat8 ah I get it np! No matter how long it’s frightening non the less. Hope you’re doing ok!
@@herbertcat8 Me too, and to make things worse I have to go to a doctor in May 10 and I’m pretty terrified. I already have iatrophobia and one of the main symptoms of anxiety attacks for me is nausea which makes me panic even more since I’m already emetophobic so any advice will be helpful 🥲👍
I’ve had it for a while like 5-6 years but it got bad after I got pandas from strep
OMG SAME
"your not going to be sick" that's what I was told when I was sick, now I'm traumatised.
i feel like emetophobia controls me. everything it tells me i listen, and i do the things it wants me to do.
Wow. That’s deep.
Literally I’m scared to do anything or even eat sometimes because of it it holds me back from so many things
@@Everf11 EXACTLY 😭😭😭
i understand this. eating has been a bit of a struggle sometimes, and there's some foods that i absolutely will not touch (ex: raw anything like sushi, steak that isn't fully cooked, etc).
This!!😭
I think one of the worst things is when I'm having a panic attack and someone says "it's fine no one likes being sick" (I don't want to say the word in case it's triggering) it just makes me so mad like when they say that all I can think is "YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I DONT WANT TO BE SICK RIGHT NOW"
Same!I get so scared,and most people don't understand
So true! Because no one likes it, there's no one to tell you, "It's not that bad" or "It's all in your head." There's no reassurance.
exactly!
lovelyizzy the WORST trigger phrase for me is when people ask me "ARE YOU OK" because I literally think because they asked that I AM NOT OK😫😫. Same with "do you have to throw up"? I'm like "JESUS LORD PLEASE BE QUIET OMG STOP"😂😂
lovelyizzy same they don't understanddddddd 😭😭😭😭
I gosh i cried while watching this. this is the first time ive gotten Validation for my emetophobia, and hearing a voice i can believe. thank you so much
uraniumDrive me too:)))) it helped me so much
Samd
I literally started crying because I've never heard another person talk about this.
TW thank u for not saying '"Throw up" instead u said getting sick and that helps
hi emery
Hey Emery I love your channel so much. You are so talented and I believe you are gonna go really far in the future! I never knew that you had a fear of this 🥺🥺❤️❤️ If you could reply I would actually scream with joy! Thankyou
OMG YOU HAVING EMETOPHOBIA REALLY HELPS ME- I feel less weird ab it now 😪
Agreed 💕
aw i never knew you have emetophobia!
please never never ever delete this video. it’s gotten me through so many panic attacks and truly does make me feel like i’m not alone. currently having a bit of a attack right now and still following your words of kindness. an infinity thank you for this video❤️
I just woke up (1:00 am) , and I'm having an attack. I have no one to help me. Everyone is just annoyed that I am Emetaphobic. I wish I could talk to you right now ☹
Amanda Jones here for you. Email me if u ever want to talk- laurenmelissa97@yahoo.com. I have bad anxiety and severe Emetaphobia. If anyone on this video EVER needs to talk.. I am here and you can email me. My name is Lauren, email right above all^. GodBless and stay strong- we will ALL make it through. We are NOT "stupid, babies, annoying" or anything that perhaps people have made us feel. Our fear is as *REAL* as anything else. Don't ever be ashamed. I'm so lucky my BF understands and my mom, brother, and sister understand as well as friends :). You are NEVER alone! I am here! GodBless you all. Call on me if you need me😘❤️- Lauren, a fellow Emetophobic😷
same
Amanda Jones I feel you
I have the same at least twice a week. But it's OK. You're not alone. Email me if you like at c.krauskopf@seznam.cz I'm from the Czech Republic so you see, its a global feeling. Keep ya head up🤗
You latterly just described what im going through right now, 1 am and no one will talk to me about my emetiphobia like i get pushed aside its really lonely but this bid helped
I am HORRIBLY Emetophobic- I literally get so scared whenever I feel nauseas and seeing people get sick, hearing them be sick, or having people talk about not feeling well- I get so scared. I start to shake and I literally feel so so bad and start to get nauseas. I drink really small sips of water and that helps me. And sometimes I just tell myself that if I really need to be sick because maybe I ate too fast or feel too anxious I just say- "Lauren, you are SAFE- nobody has ever died from throwing up. I know it's going to be so unpleasant. I know it's not going to be fun. I know you don't want to. I know you're so scared. But you are STRONG and you'll get through this. Throwing up can't harm you. Your body needs this release- you're gonna do it and feel 100x better after".
And sometimes I don't even do it but just telling myself that helps me. I throw on vids like this (since it's happening right now) or very low Spa music with the waves crashing or a thunderstorm or the bird's chirping. And taking small sips of water or even licking ice can make me feel so much better.
I love this video and I love you :). You're an amazing person. This video is def helping me. And feeling SAFE is the #1 priority as well as taking care of yourself. I've thrown up from panic early in the AM and my mom will bring me out (in the summer) and talked me through it and made me warm chamomile tea and water. She told me to keep drinking it and I got instantly better :).
You do not understand how much I relate it’s so bad, and ppl without this fear literally do not understand. Your not alone..❤️
Lauren Allison SAME OMG SOMBODY WHO NOS ME XD
You are a WONDERFUL human being...... thank god we have you
Lauren Allison i just had one it sucks :(
Same I have emetophobia. Whenever someone throws up or I even just hear it I literally scream and run away with my hear pounding very fast.
I know this video is 9 years old and I’m just finding it for the first time. After an hour of panic I came across this video and was calmed within 5 minutes of listening. THANK YOU for this video ❤
I'm not sure about anyone else, but the phrase "getting sick" is a lot better than "being sick" is that anyone else?
whenever people reassure me it makes me cry so this made me bawl
delaney mavica same
Im bawling my eyes out
same
Same and I fear vomit to
I just can’t do
if anyone here gets anxiety from the sinus drainage in your throat, try eating a small amount of salt. It helps so much.
Harrycheez OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. THANKS SO MUCH
you’re a life saver
you literally just saved my life. thank you so much!
........THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
The fact that it’s our body’s last resort, as you mentioned, is so comforting to hear. That never crossed my mind, and because of this severe emetophobia ive Never learned to appreciate what my body does for me. If you’re struggling right now, you’re not alone at all, we’re all here, dealing with the same thing, and we’re all gonna overcome it together ❤
we’ve got this 🫶
I instantly started balling my eyes out cause I’ve never known someone that had understood so much. thank you. I start therapy Thursday.
What kind of therapy? Is it working?
Hey can you update me?
i’ve had therapy and they didn’t understand but i wish u well
can you update us? :)
Update? :)
I don't know how much longer I can last with my emetophobia, losing weight a lot because eating triggers the panic attack. I express the frustration in my song writing but I am struggling to perform in public and even getting in the studio to record.
When I was younger, I was 5'4" and weighed 59lbs. I was too scared to eat because in my mind it was "Don't eat=that can't happen" when that clearly isn't the case. The only way I could eat without panicking was if I had Ginger Ale with my food. I have no clue why, but plain ginger ale kept me calm, and made the physical symptoms of eating-panic lessen. Try soda of some sort, like ginger ale, sprite/sierra mist, or squirt. It worked wonders for me.
Hey I hope you're still hanging in there. I sought out an eating disorder specialist for the same problem. I was put on a med called Remeron (mirtazapine) and it cut out the nausea I was always feeling as well as allowing me to eat more than a few bites without feeling full and nauseous. There is hope! wishing you the best xo
Final Froggit Approaches I was just reading this comment and I, like you, relate to that so much . Instead of ginger ale, my safe drink is sprite. If I drink sprite when eating, sometimes I'll feel more safe and instead of not eating absolutely anything I'll eat just a tiny bit at least
If your scared to eat certain foods start low and slow with toast, pasta, pizza and them make your way up to chicken and other foods
Lol 2 currently that’s all I am eating 😔
please please dont delete this video. It has helped me and so many other people as you can see! Infinite thank you's. I'm just calming down from an attack right now. I'm so thankful and proud you made this 💜
Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS. Every other panic video just says “you aren’t going to die” but that’s not what I’m afraid of. I’ve had anxiety attacks about being sick since elementary school and I haven’t thrown up in 8 years. But every single time I feel anything (it could literally be gas) I go into a panic. I’ve never felt so heard this video is everything again thank you so much
omg Rlly? 8 years? i literally count every years it happens i feel better knowing i can go more years without being sick wow
Pls what helped u I’m 13 and going through this I need help!
@@MetalSchemaexactlyyyy i haven't for almost 5 years
@@ybinkyyI’ve found the best way to manage it is to do something that occupies your mind. Going for a walk is a great one
@@ybinkyythe best thing I found is trying to reel in the nausea. Some of my favorites that I find sometimes works for me is smelling lavender essential oil, wearing sea bands (wrist acupuncture bands), listening to a nausea and/or anxiety frequency on UA-cam, put cold towel on back of neck, chew mint gum, and sit up.
i know this video is old, but if you’re still checking comments on this video, i just wanted to let you know how much this video means to me. it’s 12:30 am and i’m having a panic attack because i have to go back to school in the middle of a pandemic . i cant sleep, i can’t eat, and it’s hard. this video has helped me so so much i can’t thank you enough oh my god 🥺
update: i often come back to this video when i’m feeling anxious and it helps everytime. thank you for making this video
hey, me again. currently a sophomore in high school. i wrote that comment when i was about to start freshman year. i survived it without being sick. if i can survive you can too. you all got this.
@@burrnalle thank you. I’ve had it since junior year in high school and I keep coming back to this video. It helps to hear this
again i’m here!! i’m now a junior in high school!!! I am a straight A student. Emetophobia can be slowly healed!! i believe in all of you ♥️♥️♥️❤️
Same here
make one an hour long!!!!! that would be the best thing for me, since my panic attacks last a very long time.
Hailey Sings I second this!!! x
Someone told me once that a panic attack lasts only 30 seconds. What bullshit! That person obviously never had one!
MadnessGirlHailey mine lasted for 3 hours.
Mine depend on the day tbh. I’ve had one last for 5 minutes before and one last almost a whole day.
please do
Thank you so much, having a 4.30 in the morning panic attack and this made me feel less lonely. It's also so great to hear "you're not going to be sick" and "you're going to be okay". I think that's what we need to hear as our brain is telling us 'you're sick and youre going to vomit'. great video, thank you I hope eventually all us is overcome this.
I have the exact same problem!
1:23am here
04:37 am here
6:00 am 👌🏻🙁
leah chiara same I wake up random times during the night
found this 3 years ago and still come back, i promise, IT DOES GET EASIER!!!!! i usually only have these moments 1-2 a month now instead of EVERYDAY!!
What helped you I’ve been struggling really bad lately ..
I'm having such a bad stomach ache and I'm having really bad anxiety right now. Thank you for making this it's making me feel better :)
Same right now it’s happening
It’s happening to me because uh digestive issues and I’m scared I’m crying
LilyXOXO are you ok now?
cheese on toast- it went away that time but right now I’m feeling worse
Same but its because ✨I had pizza and I’m lactose intolerant✨
whenever I have a panic attack I chew gum and it really helps.
me too gum\mints it helps my nausea when I am having a panic attack
yaitana ruby valladares I do that it really does help always mint gum though
I alway use altoids
yaitana ruby valladares I’ve struggled with emetophobia for a very long time - I used to think I was crazy for this working! Always carry gum & water on me.
Gum has always been a way to distract myself but my family sometimes get mad because I eat it too fast when I get nervous. ㅠㅠ
please never delete this video 😢 i’ve watched it hundreds of times and it is my safe space❤️
i litteraly cried so hard watching this, i feel so alone and like no one understands what exactly i’m going thru. i really wish i was able to talk and be comforted by people who actually have it and umder
2:37 am in the morning, emetophobia panic attacks are the worst, thank you for this
me right now at 3:43 am. just woke up freaking out.
I woke up, with terrible cramps, which led me to go to the bathroom. What happened is a major trigger (especially when it happens in the middle of the night) ... I typed in "Emetaphobia attack help", and it led me to this video. I seriously cried for the first full minute of it. I couldn't think of anyone that would understand, or even care, to talk to me at 2:00 am. THANK YOU, so much, for this video. I NEED to hear that I'm "not going to be sick" repeatedly, and I'm sure you understand. This has been my life since I was at least 5 years old (and I'm 32 years old now). I just can't thank you enough. I wish I could FaceTime you, or text you when I get my attacks (or anyone that cared or understood) 🙏🏼 Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
Amanda Jones hi I know this what posted three years ago but I’m in a emet group on Instagram if you want to join x
hey_hey .x can I please?
hey_hey .x can I join please ?
hey_hey .x may I join as well?
hey_hey .x what is the handle for the insta??
I don’t leave my house because of my emetophobia. I do my school online, I don’t see my friends anymore, but what you said made me feel like I could breathe. “They are just thoughts” which helped me so much.
:')
I understand you, for years I was the same. I still struggle with it, though bit by bit I have pushed myself to live more and more 'normally'. Though living normally is living without the care that everyone gets sick every once in a while. "There's no preventing it" everyone says. It makes living and everyone outside of that safe space and those safe foods, safe behaviors, feel suffocating.
Im here to say you're not alone in that, and while it is so so scary, the chances of getting sick *especially* when youre careful (washing your hands, masking up, etc) are so slim. And it's so worth it when you can find enough courage to take the leap, and live life to the fullest. I know it's easier said than done, just know that you're not alone and someone here believes in you!
That’s me right now. I have a cold and I’m nauseous and panicking, I’m so scared.
Whenever someone throws up I just start chanting in my head “Your okay, your okay, your okay”
I wish these videos existed when I was younger and had no internet access...
I just had an panic attacks because my baby toddler got sick and I cried alot and I'm in my room and when my baby brother got sick I said nope and cried alot and plugged in my ears so I got my headphones and blasted some music reallllly loud and curled in a ball and cried and looked up video about panic attacks of emetophobia and i found this.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 thank you for making this video! 😁
it’s currently 5 am and this video is 7 years old but it is the best thing i’ve ever come across. i woke up, got sick, and that immediately triggered such a bad panic attack. i haven’t gotten sick like that in a long time and it immediately triggered a massive panic attack. thank you so so so much, you kind kind soul
i wanted to reply to this cause it's exactly how I feel rn... I woke up and felt so sick I got a panic attack. This video really helped and is helping me, I tried to make myself some lemonade as well but reading comments of people who got through this thanks to this video really makes me feel slightly better.
My emetaphobia is so hard to deal with. My mum was like: “why are you anxious” and I told her I don’t know because I’m too scared to tell her
edit: hi!! four years later after this comment, it happened to me. i was s*. it wasn’t as scary and i’ve overcome my fear so much now with therapy and just growing as a person. my boyfriend recently t* u* and i was completely calm! i couldn’t be more happy with my improvement. even though it may not feel like it , it DOES get better!
you should definitely tell her. Emetophobia is a really common thing so with some research she should be able to understand. If not try talking to a mental health specialist. I find that talking to them helps because it always feels like they truly understand what’s happening in my brain.
@@eleanor3018 i have told my mum now, and i’ve had a psychologist and psychiatrist but this fear effects my everyday life still.. it triggers anxiety, intrusive thoughts and my ocd, it makes me stress over small things and i have flashbacks to the day i was sick similar to ptsd. i cant eat certain foods i had that day, use certain items and i wouldn’t be able to handle it if it happened to me again. i’m trying to work through it but things aren’t going so well 4 me rn ://
@@eleanor3018 I am doing so much better now! this may be triggering I’m not sure but “It” happened a few days ago and I’ve come to realize that it actually made me feel so much better than worse so that helped me a lot! I’m teaching myself not to think about it and it’s been working :)
@@chaseandseek im going throught a tough time right now too… i get regular migraines that cause intense nausea which terrifies me so much (for obvious reasons). if u ever need someone to talk to im here cos i 100% understand what ur going through!
@@eleanor3018 alright, thanks. this phobia has effected my everyday life, being the cause of my anxiety since eight years old and a lot of the reasons for why i am why i am sadly. i’m currently going through therapy, and soon some cognitive behavioural therapy because it’s more i have this fear because of something that has happened to me in the past.
this needs more views. i'm an emetophobe with a stomach bug right now and i seriously needed this
I got a panic attack and I quickly came to your video , just the fact that you explained exactly how I felt made me feel so much better. sometimes I feel so angry because I feel the way I do when I get a panic attack. I get so scared to get sick .. I'm glad I found this video 💖
Melissa Laneey me too
I just woke up at 3 and I’m scared out of my mind that I’m gonna throw up, this is the worst night of my life I’m freaking out
You are an amazing girl sweetheart. That's coming from a woman who has it and had it since 1965. I truly thought that I was the only person on the planet that was afraid of that. I still have them, but they are not as frequent as when I was younger. You helped me through a panic attack tonight. Thank you. You are the brave one!!
old
I'm 14 and for 7 years I have been through hell and I was shaking thinking I was gonna v*. You calmed me down, thank you so much, I am so grateful xx
how’s life now that you’d 17 has your emetphobia gotten better?
@Sydney Victoria yea i only get the panic attacks before i go to bed or at night when i’m laying down
@@jayjay-ke4cb yah (btw this is my new ac) I still have them really bad and I’ve been watching this video every single time. It really helps
i’m 14 and ive had severe emetophobia since i was 6 too, i just found this video two weeks ago and it’s helped so much. i’m having a stomach ache rn and this vid and the comments are helping sm :,)
Saying "V*" is actually a really good idea- thanks. I was looking through comments and I kept seeing trigger words, so seeing this as an alternative was actually pretty nice.
I have such bad emetophobia and god I loved you and your videos enough and this just made it so much better. I'm currently having an emeto attack and this is helping me so much. Thank you so much.
Tyler Bullard love the pfp
Waking up nauseous freaking out having a panic attack and there’s nothing on the internet about what to do in the moment. You are a so wonderful for doing this and this video is helping me calm down. Thank you
I use logic to try and combat the anxiety. I say to myself, “You have a strong immune system. Why would you throw up when it’s the middle of summer and there is nobody around you to give you the bug?” It doesn’t always work but it’s better than nothing lol. I think the reason gum helps is because the act of chewing distracts me from my brain screaming at me.
Hi! I'm david and I'm brazilian. i started to battle against emetophobia since 2012 and somehow it just happened, i was never really really worried about getting sick, but since that year my brain started to fear it. i'm 19 years old and, believe it or not, i started med school (it was a dream before the emet) - now that i've started, some days are really difficult and this has helped me a lot. i'm going to start the thrive programme this week. I love everything in life besides getting sick, that's why it hurts so bad, i wanted to help people as a doctor, i'm a musician, i love volleybol and video games and movies... But emet stole this happiness... I pray that all of us overcome this, no one deserves to live like this... Fearing yourself... Thank you for the video :)
Davi Sanches This is beautiful. You are inspiring! It is so important to follow your dreams and not let emet stop you. Proud of you!
JonasAlmostFamous hi Jona! Well, i started a UA-cam channel too, to help me with the med school and my challenges! I Intent to talk about emtophobia in english and portuguese to help more people i Can! Could you help me with my channel? Only liking, or subscribing... For now I'm recording simple covers but i want to improve, like using video's editor programmes hehe thank you and you're inspiring ! :)
Davi Sanches it must be so hard to have to go through developing emet at that age. I first developed it in about 2nd grade and of corse everyone was getting sick since I was in school. it helps so much to know others understand how it feels to be in a panic over a single word or phrase I absolutely hate having emet and knowing that some older people have it helps a lot thanks for commenting 🙂
This gives me hope! I have emetophobia, but also the dream to get into medical school. So I thought this fear would make it impossible. Thank you!
@@isabellestrickland1139 aw i’ve found my crowd! however i had surgery recently and my anxiety after that put me off medicine, i hope i can find joy in it again because i used to be so interested :(
I'm only half way through the video right now but I'm freaking out I'm 12 and I don't know what to do my parents are annoyed with me and it's 11:30 at night and I can't talk to anyone right now and I'm terrified. This video is helping me.
UPDATE: it's about 12 now and I'm a lot calmer. Thanks Jonah. I'm still a bit nervous because my stomach hurts a little
Itsryleehere • this is rlly me for real it makes me feel better that ppl have the same thing I get stomach aches and I think I’m sick and I panic
I'm 11 (you're older now though haha) and I have the same problem. I feel the same symptoms and my parents keep saying I'm fine but my stomach is feeling funny and my mouth keeps getting dry and if you ever want to talk just let me know :)
im 14 now and i’m having a panic attack + stomach ache rn too bc of my emetophobia, i hope you’ve improved on your emetophobia control
@@drqmz5719 lucky, my mouth is full of saliva when i get sick
I just woke up in the middle of the night. I just woke up n* and I can’t stop thinking about it. The more I think about it, the more n* I feel. Writing this makes me feel better I’m not going to lie. Thank you for this video, the reassurance really helps in a crisis like now.
My daughter has emetaphobia and she puts this on when she's having a panick attack, it helps her heaps! Thank u so much. I hope your still doing well x
I haven't slept in 3 days and I haven't been to school either. This makes me so happy & comforts me during makes me realize I'm not alone... Lately I've been hopeless about
Getting over this fear but knowing I'm not alone helps. I need to get over this, I'm trying my best, but this is amazing. Thankyou so much
how is it now?
I have gotten some comments from people, asking me to make more videos about this topic. I would love to make more! I want to help people as much as I can. What sorts of videos would you like to see? What would be the most helpful? I could maybe do an emetophobia Q&A? I am interested to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment below with a suggestion for a video and I will definitely give it a try.
Your emetophobia story? Of course if that is ok with you? And maybe how to possibly get around eating in a restaurant? That would be a massive help Jona :) Thank you
You are amazing! It would be great if you could do some more videos about this! Thank you so, so, so much! xxxxx
JonasAlmostFamous Are there specific things that you are afraid of in relation to your emetophobia? Like for me, other's getting sick doesn't bother me and even making myself sick is okay. It's literally a control factor for me and the stomach bug. It's the fact that I cannot control much if I get sick and if I do get the stomach bug, am I going to wake up in the middle night sprinting for the bathroom or is it going to be "violent" or could I potentially choke or will I be alone when it happens (which is likely)? So do you have any specific fears within your emetophobia?
+JonasAlmostFamous Anyone know what is Zomopanic Eraser about? I hear many individuals kick away their panic attacks forever with Zomopanic Eraser (google search it)

this actually helped me sm. theres a slight trigger warning so dont press read more if you are very sensitive
i went to a choir event that is very serious and very fun, but towards the end they were telling us to eat good and stay hydrated (we go back tmr) and they were telling us that if we didnt we were going to get sick and it made me super scared, it was the first time my emetophobia made me not want to eat, but i was also scared that if i didnt eat i would still get sick. then to make matters worse, a girl got sick on the bus ride home . but this video helped me a lot, i wasnt really having a panic attack but i was very uneasy. im going to use these tips if i get scared tomorrow🥰
just hearing her voice soothes me
i dont want to keep living like this
Me either
you sound like my sister LOL, but when you said imagine a place, I thought of a beach with a crying pikachu and I hugged it
She’s an angel, pls make an hour version
I’m here again after 11 months…. I feel so nauseous and im so scared idk what do ant um not going to the bathroom because I just can’t believe “that” could happen. (I didn’t do it)
Here again after a year… I feel so nauseous and I’m terrified idk what to do do I’m so scared I can’t even put it into words and I’m actually crying. ( I didn’t do it)
Here again after a month..I am crying again and idk how I’m gonna get better but throwing up is not an option. I hate the thought of throwing up, the waiting in anticipation, the nauseous feeling, the throwing up and the throw up itself. I feel like I would rather die than throw up.
These things are hard to remember mid panic, still await the day when the nausea is real. Thank you for posting this, it's helpful and so thoughtful, you're a lovely person :)
Like3moAMAZINGG Aw, thank you so much! It means a lot to me to hear that this is helpful. I can definitely relate to having trouble remembering these things mid-panic. You aren't alone! And I think you are a lovely person as well :)
hi my name is Samantha, I have suffered emetophobia all my life and it is horrible, when people are sick I have a major panic attack and when I feel sick I sometimes start to cry, at first I thought I was the only one with this problem, when im sick I choke myself as it is soo horrible, your video really helped me, thank you xxx :)
Rainbows and ghostly cookies!!!! You aren't alone! I am glad to hear that this video helps.
I know this video is old and I'm in my 30s but its getting me through this bad moment. Thank you
You have helped me for the past 5 years get through my panic attacks. If I’m panicking, my family knows to immediately play this video 😭😂 thank you❤
Hi there! I just wanted to thank you, this might sound corny but I mean every word of it, I was a terrible emetophobic, I was up all night, pacing back and fourth and not eating much at all, as a result my school work suffered and my friendships didn't seem important, I was so desperate I looked up emetophobia on UA-cam and I found you, I swear you saved my life, you helped me calm down enough to realize how silly it is to fear throwing up so much, I made an effort to stop my attacks when they happened, and you were always there to talk me through it. Once I cured my emetophobia I could focus on school work again and I kind of became a teachers pet xD the point of this comment is not to make people feel bad for me, I just remembered, you deserved my most sincere thank you.

marisa schuldes how did you cure it?
Yes please how did you cure it?? 😫
I have the same troubles with emetophobia
currently having a panic attack (on my birthday at 2am 😰) and whenever i have a panic attack i go to this video but its not working this time and im freaking the fuck out 😭😭 im gonna have to rewatch this so many times 😥
Ik it's been a while but any update???
i know that this is almost 10 years old but this helps so much. every night i am up at 1 am and i can’t go back to sleep because i’m having a panic attack and i watch this video. this video is so comforting and reduces my stress. :)
hey everyone! i know this might not be what you want to hear, but you will throw up one day. whether that be now after you watch this video or in the far future, it's inevitable. i know it's a hard pill to swallow because i too have emetophobia, but i threw up for the first time in 11 years (i'm 20yo) right after watching this video. i was panicking because the nausea just kept getting worse and worse. it eventually got so bad that i gagged, but nothing came up, then finally about 3 hours later, it happened. it was an experience and it isn't pleasant, however, it's over quickly and the feeling isn't as bad as i made it out to be in my head. my phobia hasn't been completely gotten rid of, but i definitely don't feel as anxious about it anymore now that it has happened. i hope this helps someone out there.
Omg that's the exact situation I was in 3 weeks ago when I threw up. I hadn't thrown up since I was 8. I'm 20 now. I hate to admit you're right. I had to admit that others were right when they told me I would throw up one day. I had to accept the fact that I am not invincible to throwing up. I didn't want to believe it, but it isn't something we can escape. I'm currently struggling to feel better. The whole thing felt like an out of body experience and I couldn't say a word for a day from pure shock. I lost 10 pounds that week because I refused to eat in fear that it would happen again. I'm currently nauseous, and not entirely sure if it's all in my mind or not. It's still terrifying for me. I hope to one day vomit and bounce back like it's a normal bodily function... because it simply is. I'm jealous of those who can throw up and go back to their normal daily activities. My boyfriend is one of them. It truly amazes me how he can throw up one second, and just act completely normal the next. Like how do people do that!? Thanks for sharing your story. It just resonated so much with me
I cried when I knew I wasn't the only one.
This video is such a life saviour. I know it's an old video, but thank you sososo much for this. Everything you said, every single words, was so on point. I actually cried because it feels good to have someone who knows what i'm going through, telling me that it will be okay. Bless your soul.
Currently I’m in my bathroom in the shower laying down, freaking out because i’m so naesous. Everything I try doesn’t work. I tried counseling but it didn’t work yet. I just want someone with me that has the feeling. I hate it so much. Deep down i now i’m not gonna be sick but my brain is making me change my mind. I’m halfway through this video and i kinda feel better! Hopefully I feel better.
Jones I feel the exact same way! You’re not alone. You can reach out to me if you need anything, my snapchat is kenzraye 🥺 I’m here for you.
i’ve felt exactly the same, i once couldn’t move from the bathroom for 5 hours and guess what? i was ok :) it’s very scary and i’m so incredibly jealous of people who don’t face this. i hope you’re doing better now
Thank you. my tummy is upset and I hate this feeling in my throat 😭
Same
"I know that might be hard right now but I also promise that you are strong and you can do this"
"I know it feels awful but its ok that its happening."
Thanks so much! I am bookmarking this for emergencies because it's very calming. Thanks for doing this.
I know this videos old but I’m going to comment anyway because it helps to share my experience idk. I used to struggle with this as a kid and it stopped and it suddenly came back after years and that’s why it was so scary at first. I’ve been getting a panic attack that I’m going to throw up I’d say nearly everyday for the last 5 months and it’s the most exhausting and terrifying thing I’ve ever gone through. It’s worse because the actual throwing up part isn’t the scariest part to me it’s the feeling of nausea and panic when ur waiting for the vomit and u can feel it coming up so the fact my panic attacks are literally that exact same feeling is why it’s so terrifying because I never actually throw up. I feel like I’m exaggerating and being dramatic and childish because I’m letting something as small as throwing up that everyone goes through everyday affect my life so much and so it’s nice to watch someone talk to me understanding me. I had my worst one yet last night I woke up at 7am randomly and immediately starting panicking and it scared me because the time I did throw up that started all of this I woke up with that same feeling. I normally know I won’t throw up and it’ll go away but this one was really bad and I genuinely thought I was going to throw up I went in the bathroom and all. It gets depressing because I just want to be normal I want to be able to eat properly again I want to be able to enjoy things without the constant thought of throwing up and it ruining everything
Im HORRIBLY EMETOPHOBIC- i dont eat a lot because im emetophobic and now im sick from not eating and in the hostpital. We all know emetophobia sucks.
Same here!! I was also so anxious that I stopped eating! I really hope you’re doing better!
You too!
Thank you for this video. I really didn't know this was a real thing. My sister always makes fun of me because of this, if she's sick she will purposefully get close to me. Some people that don't have this don't know how scary it is. I've had this since I was about 7, I am now 17. This video really helped me. I was getting that weird feeling, but now I feel better, thank you.
You have no idea how many people still watch this video. Every time I’m having a panick attack because of me emeto, I watch this video over and over and it’s one of the only things that helps. Please don’t ever take this video down! Thankyou for posting this. 🫶🏻
Thank you thank you thank you for making this video. I'm 19, a college student, and I've had emetophobia since I was 5. It's improved in some ways but it's got worse in others and it's starting to become harder to enjoy everyday life. Currently, tons of people at my university are getting a mysterious stomach bug and 2 of my 3 roommates are showing symptoms and needless to say, I'm freaking out and feeling pretty hopeless. This video helped so much, I can't thank you enough. I'm just now starting to understand that tons of people have emetophobia and knowing other people out there are struggling too makes me feel less alone. Something about you is just so sweet and bright and hopeful, I started to feel better just a few seconds into the video. Thank you so much
This is my fifth time watching this video. I'm home alone and far away from my family and I just needed someone to be with me. Thank you thank you thank you
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i can’t even
i can’t
i can’t believe how much i needed this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
thank you so so much
thank you for the validation, for the facts. i didn’t know that being sick was a rare occurrence, that it’s our body’s last resort. that helped me more than you will ever know. i haven’t left the house in 3 months, haven’t been to school in 10 months, all because of severe anxiety, mainly because of emetophobia. thank you 😭😭🖤
Hi
Kyla Goodale ???
*trigger warning*
i needed this so much... I've had emetophobia for as long as i can remember. it never really got in the way of anything since i hardly ever get sick and i rarely found myself in situations where anyone else felt sick. but today after school, i was hanging out with my girlfriend in a practice room - a tiny room off of the band room that's about the size of a large closet. we were working on homework when suddenly she said she didn't feel good. she was starting to get a migraine, and she kept reassuring me that she felt fine, but eventually she said she felt like she was going to be sick. she was sitting closer to the door than i was, so i didn't even know how i would get out of the room. eventually she moved out of the way, so i ran to grab a trash bin for her and once i gave it to her i left to calm down and find a teacher. eventually the situation was fine, but today was the day that i realized i need to try to help my emetophobia. my girlfriend means the world to me, so it was terrible to not be able to help her because i was too busy having a panic attack. I'm gonna get over this, not only for my sake, but for my girlfriends as well.
Llama Socks Rock respect
You're like an angel! That video is by far the best thing about emetophobia that I've seen. Thank you so much for doing this
TheSecretKim This truly means a lot to me. I am so glad that this video has been helpful! Thank you for leaving this nice comment.
my Emetophobia never use to be this bad but over maybe the past year every day I have panic attacks and now constantly think about being S and seeing it and I hate it I come back here so much and it helps me alot I just wish i could stop thinking like this
FINALLY!!! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS EMETAPHOBIA PANIC ATTACKS!!! I can't express how happy and relieved this made me feel when I found this I started crying!!!!
I know this is an old video but, I started panicking because nausea triggered it and thank you so much for this I can't thank you enough it helped me rn I'm okay I'm alive I'm breathing and it makes me so happy to know I'm not alone
It's currently 1 AM and I am having a terrible panic attack and I finished at 12 hour day at band camp. And I have another 12 hour day ahead of me. And I can't miss a day of band camp and I can't sit out tomorrow. I'm terrified.
I have a stomach virus for the first time in thirteen years, and I am actually coping better then I thought. The unthinkable happened to me yesterday, but I survived and I know in a day or two I’ll be fine. Thank you for understanding and trying to help us emetophobes. ❤️
i come here like every day.
I absolutely never comment on videos. But this one, oh my god, this one has saved me multiple times from huge panic attacks. I’m currently having full-body shakes and can not sleep and this is helping me so much. Everyone, I promise, you will be okay❤ This feeling will pass
For the visualization part I imagined Amsterdam and then when she said “What does it smell like” I was just like “Weed and alcohol...”
i’ve had this since i was 5 years old. and i’m now up at 4am with a attack. i just watched this is i’m so calm and relaxed
I’ve had emetophobia for a decade and I’m currently in a rough patch thank you so much I really needed this
I don’t know what to do anymore, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, just the thought of the word makes me break down. I can’t anymore, why do I have to live like this?? Thank you so much for the video, it helped me out today, it’s not cured but I do know it that watching this everyday does help a lot. Thank you 💜
I get really bad anxiety at night, I cannot sleep because of the last time I was sick so I can never sleep. I just panic before I sleep and when I panic I feel even more sick which stresses me out more and I don’t know how to handle it. This video is such a help I just can’t understand why this phobia is triggering my life so much .. it’s so sad because I can’t sleep, or sit silently
this made me feel seen, heard, and validated more that i have ever felt while panicking about this fear. this video has been a huge blessing for me
It’s 3am and I’ve struggled w emetophobia my whole life and I ate some chips before bed and here I am with a HORRIBLE stomachache going to the bathroom ... and I feel so nauseas and I’m scared I start to freak out and hyperventilate and i shiver and I get a panic attack and feel like I’m gonna faint bc I hate the feeling of throwing up especially the gagging part 😫😫😫😫 and everyone is asleep and I feel so alone , my dog sleeps w me so whenever I feel like I need to use the toilet or nauseas I take my dog w me in there for comfort so I’m not alone in case I throw up 😭🥺 and I’m so scared rn especially cus I have work in like 4 hours and I have not even rested and I’m scared imma feel sick at work in the morning :(
Been there but I got a cat with me
Just thank you .i have emethophoby since i was 7 now im 20.. I got drop out of school in my last year when i was 18. I have many problems in my family cause nobody near me understand what is it. I tried everythin but my passive agression killed everything.

This video started a thing that i rarelly felt in the past couple of years...so..i'm and i will thankful..forever
Have a nice day.

bakos88 Emet can be really tough. I'm here for you! And i am glad that my video has helped.
I feel like the first guy to comment but honestly - thanks. This helped :)
+Clym Smith You're not the only one
i wish this was an hour long i come back here so often
When you hugged the camera and said “you’re okay” it really made me feel so much better thank you so much
My severe emetophobia controls me. Whenever my body feels threatened by anything to do with vomiting, I literally have a panic attack and start to cry. I am having a mini panic attack now and this has been helping me. I thank you.
same. every aspect of my life is affected by emetophobia, and when i think about it i panic so much. it is so hard to live with, sometimes i think i can’t survive it. but every time i wanted to give up, i haven’t. every time i decide i can try once more, and i’ve made it this far. keep going, i believe in you and i am so proud of you 🫶
@@-a-s-hso relatable. And thanks so much. I believe in you too. The good thing is that we are not alone. You can do this!
i’m watching this five years after it’s been made, i’m going through the worst period of anxiety i think i might of ever gone through in my entire life due to emetophobia. it’s been causing physical symptoms like stomach aches, and high just makes everything worse and it just creates this big cycle i haven’t been able to get out of. i was having another major panic attack just now, but this really really helped. it’s rare to find things like this and i’m so happy i found your account a few years ago and STILL remembered it. i hope you’re doing well.
thank you i know this was 7 years ago but ive thought about this for the past year or two now and i have panic attacks almost every day but never this bad thank you
AND THE MINT GUM HELPED SO MUCH TYSM
I am having an attack rn and shaking on a school night at three AM and honestly im glad that there is someone else also watching it even 7 years later
this video was made a really long time ago, but this video kind of helped me .. i’ve thrown up twice now and i still feel the need to. it’s just so scary .. i’m trying to relax but my anxiety won’t let me, i’m so scared
I literally have hearing like an eagle when I hear a kid in my class say they feel sick to a teacher and I will stare at them for the rest of the lesson trying to edge as far away I can O.o
Martha Sutcliffe me too I get so much anxiety
Literally same and it’s funny because any other time my hearing is really bad. But as soon as someone mentions the word i hear it and get really anxious and can’t stop looking at them / trying to get as far away from them as possible
