I'm terrified of puking help PLEASE ANYONE?
Okay so ever since I was little I've always hated puke... I can't hear it, can't see it, can't talk about it, can't smell it anything. I don't go to parties or carnivals if I know people are going to be puking. If I see someone puke I won't be able to forget the image or get it out of my head for days. My brother has the stomache flu right now and he's been downstairs all day so I stayed upstairs but usually I'm out of the house cause I can't handle it i literally go insane. So now my family thinks their getting sick and I don't know what to do, I know it's in my head but I just can't get over it. And I dont want to get it either so how can i prevent from getting it other than the usual wash hands and stay away... Someone please help me I can't handle this:(

This is a phobia you ought to deal with by facing it head on. It's an irrational fear that is controlling you and will only continue to get worse if you cater to it. Hypnosis or self hypnosis or therapy can help you get rid of it. The best way to do it is to go back and relive the experience which embedded it in you as much as possible, including your feelings & any associations. Only on the rerun, instead of reacting badly as you did, logic it out and determine the outcome you desire to have, as in being able to discount the smell of it, handle it and dispose of it without a problem. Psych yourself up to where you can develop at least some tolerance. It may take several attempts or sessions to change your mind training about this but it can be done.
If you want to stay disinfected wash yourself & anything related with hydrogen peroxide. Think of it as your magic feather just as Dumbo thought the feather could make him fly like a bird. It can help make you immune to the stuff so you can handle it like a pro.
