During the episode, the brave storyteller revealed with great vulnerability, “I’m constantly haunted by the fear of vomiting. Whenever I witness someone throwing up or even think about it, my anxiety skyrockets. It’s a strange fear that the people around me find hard to understand. I really want to overcome it.”

Asked to elaborate on the symptoms he experiences due to his “vomitophobia,” the student explained, “As soon as I start feeling nauseous, I become frozen. I lose my appetite and stop eating altogether. It’s even difficult for me to drink water. My fear of vomiting affects my daily life, preventing me from attending school and doing normal activities.”

When questioned if he frequently vomits as a result of his fear, the student responded, “Under stressful conditions, my weakened state intensifies, and I often experience nausea and the urge to vomit, even if I haven’t consumed any food. It’s distressing just to talk about it now.”

Opening up about his struggles, the middle school student showcased the emotional toll that his phobia takes on his overall well-being.

This brave confession sheds light on the importance of raising awareness about such uncommon fears and providing support for individuals battling with similar anxieties.
