I have a fear of vomiting in class or a room with no easy way out, with or without people of my age. It's pretty specific. I used to have a fear of vomiting in public in general, but that went away.
Of course, when it comes to your health, the more paranoid someone is of their health, the more likely it (the negative effect) is going to happen.
Ever since I've developed the fear, I started to feel nauseated in class. But the funny thing is that when I quickly leave the situation into a "safe area" (like a bathroom where it's ok to vomit), it completely goes away. Now, when I step out of the bathroom, it comes back.
This is what usually happens:
1. I remember that I have this fear
2. In about 5 seconds, I start feeling nauseated and panicky
3. I start fidgeting uncomfortably in my desk, and I try moving around (which somehow relieves the nausea very temporarily)
4. I start feeling more panicky when I start feeling more nauseated
5. My vision starts to "black out" kind of like the sensation where you stand up too quickly
That is what usually happens. The farthest this "anxiety attack" progressed to was the fifth stage, and that happened only once before.
What would happen if I just let it progress further? Would I actually vomit? Or would I pass out?
And no, I will not go to a therapist or anything for this. I can handle it by myself, and I've handled it pretty well so far.
