@Sarah Colbourne it's just mentally draining 🫣 I've been started giving him vitmins hoping it will help him not catch things I'm constantly Google stuff aswell it's not fun :( xx
@Kirsty oh yes I give my girl foods with vitamins in which I think help but also me and her dad have strong immune systems which she's inherited which I'm glad 😊 but it's winter now so I'll be anxious until Spring xx
@Sarah Colbourne I've never caught a bug off my son thankfully but I feel like my luck will run out one day 🫣 xx
@Kirsty same only flu but that floors me, not everyone does catch it but I'm still anxious I'm currently pregnant with really bad nausea so don't need nothing else xx
I’m also really struggling with my emetephobia, I was doing much better and now my little boy is in nursery every single night I’m filled with dread that tonight is going to be the night! If anyone has any advice I’d also like to hear it because it really is life ruining!
Yes I have emetophobia and panic ALOT with sweaty palms aswell I always have to get my mum to help me when my child gets sick which is rarely as I try to prevent it as much as as I can
i have emetophobia, every time my son coughs / pukes i get anxiety. he tries his best to make it to the trash bin but even when he does the sound and sight sometimes makes me gag and gives me anxiety. sometimes i call dad to help me, if im by myself i thug it out as best i can 🤣😭
If you haven’t already then definitely approach your GP to look at some CBT. I have/had emetophobia and it caused me real severe anxiety, no other kind of treatment worked for me like CBT—after 8 weeks I was discharged with some ‘homework’ and I can honestly say I am miles better and can deal with sickness quite well.

I have emetephobia, my daughter goes to nursery but not ill that often I'm quite lucky, I get anxiety everytime she kids cough 😅 I feel you the phobia ruins you're life xx
