Strange phobias???

Not really a question but I think I may be OCD. I have phobias that some people may find weird but they seem perfectly sensible to me. I have a huge fear of vomit... the thought of vomit, someone vomiting, seenig or hearing it creeps me out, sick people scare me if someone says they feel the slightest bit ill i get very parinoied and have to be as far away from them... I am touch phobic with some people -im selective about who i let touch me i dont quite know how to describe it some people im perfectly fine with them touching me (mainly my bf) but there are others who i cringe at the thought of them touching me -i literaly get offended and grossed out if the wrong person touches me. the worst of the all is my obsession with germs. I HATE germs or anyhting associated with them. My bf sometimes feels like he cant do certain things to me or around me for fear that I he may "scare" me. I dont like people to think im being mean or cold but I just cant help some of these things!

You are probably OCD and definitely phobic. Duh. Not much of a stretch there, huh? I am similar but in different areas. It comes down to 'comfort zones'. Yours are very defined and unforgiving in the areas that bother you. The kind that you describe are not easily desensitised because they are so personal. Sometimes medicines help but not really very often. Find people who truly understand the situation and work from there. If you let these things get the best of you (and that is kind of a crap shoot), your world can become quite small. Good luck.

u can beat ur phobias with professional help. don't let them rule ur life

yes! I have the same phobia! I'm not sure how I got it, but vomit makes me crazy. Even when my 5 year old son is sick, I want to run in the opposite direction in fear he might.... you know. I hate, hate, hate this problem I have. I work in a first grade class and everytime a student has a stomach ache, I get really nervous and dont want to go near them. It has turned me into kind of a "germaphobe". Vomiting just seems so tragic and unnatural to me. I wish I could get over it. Good luck to you.

phobias can be treated thru desensitization with a therapist

Yes, you are obsessive compulsive. I am, too, but there are different types. I have the ritual kind, but I've learned to tone it down A LOT since I was a child, and you can too once you come to terms with the fact that you have it. It takes a lot of work, but it can be done. Work on it now before it gets out of control

why would you even care it just looks like u dont like to be sick or near gross things its not that bad is it? how often do u even see vomit?
