How do you help cure a phobia of vomiting?
I have the most awful phobia of being sick, its both a fear of myself being sick and mainly of other people being sick around me. Its not extreme in the sense that I let it control my life, but when somebody is sick around me I go into a complete panic, my heart beats so quickly and I can barely breath. In the past I have resorted to some extreme measures to get away from anyone being sick near me. When it happens I just try to get as far away as possible from the person and I cover my ears because I think more than anything I cannot stand the noise. Its getting to the point now where I have had this problem for as long as I remember and I want to be able to do somethnig about it now as I am gonig to university next year. I have a younger sister and it upsets me that when she is sick I cannot even help her. Nobody understands how I feel, many people put it down to me being pathetic and squeemish but this is not the case at all. Please help!

You have an anxiety disorder which , in your case, involves a specific phobia. Fears can be learned and fears and phobias can be unlearned through cognitive-behavioral therapy based on conditioning. This approach to therapy combines both the behavioral perspective (abnormal behavior can be acquired through behavioral learning) and the cognitive perspective (abnormal behavior is influenced by how people perceive or think about themselves and their relations with other people.)
It is imperative that you find a therpist who can help you overcome this phobia.
