Hi. I am a new member my phobia is not being sick but other people being sick. I dont know why it started, but i was a very young child now at 62 I want it gone so I can enjoy the rest of my life without living in fear. I have become very lonely. I have had psychatric help since my early twenties last August my doctor sugested I join a theropy group which I have joined. Up till then I thought i was the only person who had this how wrong was I. One my theropists told me to look up emetophobia on line, it was a shock to learn that many many people suffer. Hoping with the help of theropy and some of you guys I will see the end of all my suffering Kate
