My fear of Puking

I've had the fear as long as I can remember - probably stems from my parents giving me ipecec when I was 2. Why this was the recommendation posion control made when they were afraid I'd swallowed kerosene I do not understand - wouldn't it burn the esphogus worse coming back up??? But nevertheless that was what they were told to do and that's what they did and I have never lived a time in my life that I can remember without this fear.



It's severe enough that it's rare for it to not enter my thoughts in some way most days.



I feel a lot better about it knowing how common it actually is but that doesn't help me deal with it better. I will overcome it someday...I hope.
