Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Emetophobia is an intense, irrational fear or anxiety pertaining to vomiting. This specific phobia can also include subcategories of what causes the anxiety, including a fear of vomiting in public, a fear of seeing vomit, a fear of watching the action of vomiting or fear of being nauseated. You need to get evaluated for your exact cause. You may undergo psychometric test to determine this from a qualified clinical psychologist. Psychotherapy techniques like desensitization therapy should help you.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
