Right, I have, as some of you are aware, a massive phobia of vomit and I need real help to deal with it. It has come to a head today because I fear that have passed my fear onto my youngest son. He has a sick bug last week and he dealt with it fine, but then he went back to school today and got sent home with belly ache and feeling sick. It turns out he had done a burp that was a bit acidy and he thought he was going to be sick which then led to belly ache cos he was stressed. He also told me he has had nightmare about being sick as well. Ireally don't want him to be as affected as I am by all this so have been spurred on to do something about it.
I have kept the boys off school when a sick bug is about in the hope they will avoid it, I drink pepto bismol like it's going out of production and will actually sweat and shake if people mention that they or someone they know has been unwell. I have left the house when the kids are sick (as long as MrB is with them) and will often sit in the garden crying cos I know I should be comforting them and all I can do is hide. So if anybody has had phoias that they have dealt with successfully, knows someone who has r knows where I can get help, please can they let me know because I can't let this phobia ruin my kids lives as well. I am off to GP to ask them, but would really appreciate some more advice or pointers, please.
