welcome to katlas page about

emetophobia

Norwegian page

Hi there! My name is Katla and I have suffered from emetophobia for as long as I can remember. I am 31 years old. I can not remember any incident that could have brought this on, and I have no clue why its still present.

The reason I made this page is that there is too little information on emetophobia. Lots of people don\t believe me when I tell them how many people I know whom suffer from this thing.

I was so fortunate as to find some info on this phobia on the Net, and in addition to that I found a mailing list with people like me. We are quite a bunch, talking through e-mail, sharing thoughts, supporting each other, and I have no words to describe the great feeling that I was no longer alone with this.

The thought that I am weird, antisocial and picky disappeared. I am no longer a wacko or alien in the world. I am free now. Free to be me, free to feel, think, cry, sigh, and yes, I can laugh at myself.

I hope that you will find knowledge, either you have emetophobia or not.

This page is a copy of our mailing lists old page. That page is gone, and I miss it. So I decided to get it back out there for all to see.

The abbreviations and what they mean v=vomit, emet=emetophobic
