Cope With Emetophobia

As a child, I ofen suffered as an emetophobic, but I learned to cope with it through these easy steps.

Steps

 * 1)  Have a happy place. In your bedroom, stuff an area with pillows, blankets, scented wall plug-ins, unread books, and a soothing visual item, like a lava lamp or fish tank. Whenever your at home and you feel that feeling coming on, go here to relax.
 * 2)  Get a support line. Maybe you won't be at home when the panic hits. Find a close friend that you know won't laugh at you, and will distract you. Give them a call. If you have to chat more than an hour, that's fine too. Just be sure you don't wear them out.
 * 3)   Have an emergency kit. In youre purse, backpack, ir pocket, keep a stash of goodies that will soothe your nerves in the event that you are at a place like school or work where you can't make a phone call. Look below to find what you need to have in your emergency kit. If you begin to feel sick, excuse yourself to the restroom with your kit.

Tips

 * Have confidence. Did you know that emetephobia is the world's most common fear?
 * Be honest. If someone asks you why you excuse yourself from class so often, or why you look so nervous all the time, tell them the truth. Chances are they'll understand your condition.
 * Don't be ashamed. Everyone has their quirks.
 * Consider seeing a physcologist. He/she can lists options for you on better coping with your phobia.

Things You'll Need

 * For Your Emergency Kit:
 * Peppermints or butterscotch candies for sucking on. Sometimes, something as simple as a good taste in your mouth can soothe you.
 * A water bottle. A few sips will clear your head.
 * A worry stone. This can be any stone that is smooth and small. Rub on it to lower your heart rate.
 * A few perfume samples. Rip some out of a magazine, or snatch a few next time you visit a mall. Smell them to calm your nerves further.
