I just came across your channel, I have also been struggling with this phobia for years now and this year it has been super bad. It has prevented me from eating and I was even hospitalized for a whole week because it was ruining my health. It feels so good to know that I am not alone, I hope you continue to recover!
i’m so sorry you had to go through that! i’ve definitely been very close to being hospitalized from not eating because of this phobia, so i understand completely. it’s so difficult to live with this, but i’m working hard to change my lifestyle and i hope i can inspire others like us to do the same!
@@chelsweeee Im so sorry! And you have helped me! I watched your videos and I have found coping skills to better get myself under control. Today has been one of those rough days, but we can get thru them!
@@abbya.4882 i’m so glad i can help 😊 i’m sorry you’re having a rough day, they can seem so miserable and never ending. but you’re right, we can absolutely get through it. you’ve made it through 100% of your bad days, just remember that!
I go through moments where it's hard for me to find things to eat because fear of putting trash/dead foods into me because that's what I was raised on. I loved hearing that not eating is literally causing more issues than the thing I'm fearing. Throwing up is the worse. Love what you're doing.
that’s exactly what caused such a huge mindset shift, realizing that i’m only making things worse from not eating. it’s honestly so good to hear i’m not the only one who struggles with that. thank you 💕
Hey! I have been struggling with this phobia for as long as I can remember. I’m 15 now. I was wondering if you experienced loss of appetite due to emetophobia . Right now I’m in the thick of it and nothing sounds appealing.
oh, absolutely. that’s actually the main reason why i’m underweight 😔 i’ve barely eaten for my entire life because of this phobia. I’ve always been scared to eat certain things or eat at certain times of the day, but also i was just NEVER hungry. I think it had a lot to do with the fear.. maybe I just made myself lose my appetite because i was too scared to eat. but i also think anxiety/panic has A LOT to do with the lack of appetite. I recently increased my anxiety med dosage and started exercising more, and i can actually see a difference in my appetite! i know it seems impossible, but you really can improve! i’m still not “cured” by any means, but i’m so much better than i used to be. you’re never alone in this ❤️
some things that i eat when i have no appetite are peanut butter on saltine crackers, a fruit smoothie, applesauce, plain toast (or add a small bit of butter or pb), and white rice. basically just the “BRAT diet” but it helps!

Omg I literally feel nauseous everyday all day long, which stops me from eating properly. Im scared I’ll gag and be sick. Idk what to do 😢

Hey. Are you also afraid that you go outside after eating?
Yes me
