ha! not laughing at you guys at all, but i'm an emetophobic (phobia of vomiting) and i spend my axiety filled life doing everything humanly possible to prevent myself from getting sick, ever. i was sure people could vomit from panic attacks, as i've almost done so myself. but there is another forum online just for emetophobics, that i go to....and there are many people on there that claim that vomiting is NOT ever a symptom of a panic attack. i almost wish they could read this, so they could get a bit of a reality check, but it might send some of them over the edge.
i've only vomited twice in my life *knocks on wood* and just nausea can send me into the wildest most horrifying panic ever. ugh i hate it. i want to break free of this, but no therapists seem to know what to do with me.
