DAS999 Report post Posted November 8, 2005 My Girl friend has a serious fear of vomit and vomiting. She also has stomach problems that cause her to feel sick (maybe a link?) This is getting out of control to the point she will not eat through fear of getting food poisoning! She constantly asks people if they are sick or if their tummy hurts. She will not go near people through fear of catching a bug! If she witnesses someone vomit all hell brakes loose! Major melt down total regression will not talk, sits and hums or screams. Fingers in ears, hits, kicks, bites and so on. Even when people mention the feeling of sick, for example �I?ve eaten too much and feel sick� fingers in ears and off we go! Can any one help, Please.

Zemanski Report post Posted November 8, 2005 I'm sorry but although this may have started with anxiety it sounds like she may be developing an eating disorder because of it. I think she needs to see a doctor, she needs to get this sorted before it seriously damages her health - perhaps someone who specialises in obsessive compulsive disorders could help Zemanski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mandyque Report post Posted November 9, 2005 I think that would be a good idea. Does she have a community nurse or other specialist supporting her? If she does it would be worth you giving them a call and telling them what is going on and ask them for support in finding ways to cope with it.
