Hi, Im Zoie,

I've been Emetaphobic for 3 years now. I became emetaphobic at a baseball game when a total stranger vomited on me. Even when he apoligized, I didnt want to be near him. To me he was so......Duscusting. After that every thing went down hill. It seemed that most movies I saw with my friends had vomiting in them. When i went to con certs, I would always see someone getting sick. Even at family conventions (last thanksgiving) My cousin ate too much and vomited. I had a severe panic attack, and ended up having to go to the hospital with breating troubles. I've unfortunatly never seem my cousin the same. Not only do I have this phobia, but I have an after effect that if i see anyone get sick, I wont be the same around them. I'll try to avoid them. This espically hurts when it comes to friends, and family members. I need help, but dred going to therapy because all they make you do is watch videos, and look at pictures of ...it..... I dont kano wat to do.
