Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC
I am reading these fear of puking posts wide-eyed. I had never heard of this before, and it sounds very real and very shared among a lot of people on this board. I have always thought as vomiting as relief. It's always been a comfort to me, and a sign that I am getting better.
I do not doubt for a second that for you vomiting can be extremely frightening to go through and very disturbing to watch. It's amazing, really, that fear of vomiting had never occured to me! My bf recently saw me have a major attack of D (fever, sweating, painful screaming, praying to die, etc.), and it really shook him and Freaked Him Out. He is now nervous of developing lactose intolerance and perhaps IBS, and no longer has any doubt IBS is real, and admits to me he is scared of such an attack happening to him.
