Last year I tackled mental health with the hopes of shining a different light on the subject.
This year I decided to take on our worst fears and create 31 phobias.

I have this!!!!! I'm scared of when everyone vomits, whenever there is vomit I am as far away as I can get! But I'm so thankful usually I get diarrhoea instead of vomiting!
This is my worst fear. And yeah luckily I also end up with diarrhea rather than vomiting. Although I get reflux which makes me quite anxious. And if there's a stomach bug around, I try not to breathe in their presence to breathe in the bug!

It's very very scary. People who have this like I do will avoid any situation that could even make us sick though. I don't leave the house, and obsess over hygiene. I refuse to even use my hands to eat. Phobias suck!

Im not sure if i have this , but i always get anxiety and have panic attack if i hear or even know somebody is vomiting... Also i didnt vomit for 10 years, until this year's beggining i got super sick, and i didnt want, but at the end i was like : ok just do it and then it ll be better. After it, this fear calmed a bit but... jesus i just cant stand it..
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one fearing vomiting. I'm not so crazy after all!
I've had this for as long as I can remember.. I can't even leave the house. I'm actually saving up right now to get therapy!
I didn’t think I would see my fear here. Today I went to the ER because I get anxiety and pain attacks and it is always triggered by the idea of vomiting. I don’t know I need to get over my fear be she’s ignoring us escalating to other fears. I might try cognitive behavioral therapy to over come this fear. It sucks feeling nauseous or out of control when having panic attack or after eating you immediately have to go to the bathroom to induce diarrhea so you don’t get a panic attack and potentially “throw up”. F*****g sucks yo. The mind seriously messes you up.
Oh so that's what it's called I've been bear someone vomiting and I had a panic attack and got so pale he person finished vomiting and asked if I was ok
I have this, it's the worst. Fellow emetophobes, NEVER WATCH 'Knives Out' AND BROWSE doesthedogdie.com BEFORE VIEWING THINGS IF THE PHOBIA IS INTENSE
Yep... Thats me.. I vomited 3 or idk how much times in my life ... And that feeling of vometing really left s scar as a fear...
I have this fear and I haven't vomited since I was 4. And I'd like to keep it that way!

I definitely used to have this. I don't think I do anymore but it's definitely not pleasant.
I'm not sure if I missed it and I know I'm very late to the post, but it would have been nice for a TW to have been put on this (maybe there was one, but if there was it wasn't very obvious). I have pretty severe emetophobia, and as I was trying to find some sort of visual depiction to explain it to my friends, I came across this. It sent me into a pretty severe panic attack to the point where I almost couldn't breathe. Not trying to be mean, I think the art is amazing, just maybe think about the effects something like this could have on someone in the future :)
Blennophobia - A Fear Of Slime, Mucus
Bogyphobia - The Fear Of Bogeys Or The Bogeyman
Verbophobia - The Fear Of Words
I have Pseudo Tumor Celebi..... my brain/nerves, are slowly decorating over time, and they started to affect my speech and words months ago, I stay mute now cause if I try to talk it comes out mixed up or the words will be messed, I used to be able to sing, really good too.... it took that all way...... if I do talk, to like friends, there super careful not to point out how I miss my words, even typing I mess them, you can see how online that can be horrible to someone like that
it’s really depressing that that’s something people have to deal with now. Personally i can go without my phone, but some of my friends will go into a full blown panic attack if they misplace their’s.

Woah! These are amazing and represent the phobia perfectly... I wonder how long it took for each one, since each day was one per day....
Really cool artwork! I had to look a lot of these phobias up. I have more phobias than I realized. Great work!
I love these depictions of the phobias. He's an amazing artist and the phobias are portrayed really well.
I actually want to have like half of those drawings tattooed. Great work.
Love these! Wonderful artist. I was wating for acrophobia, the fear of heights. Another fear of mine is achondroplasiaphobia, fear of dwarfs, thaks to Disney.
Fear is mostly created by a lack of understanding about a certain thing or situation. Once we can focus on how simple things are the fear will subside and not cause any problems anymore. 😇💜
Uh, I just realized I'm terrified of all these things. Well. Great.
Can anything be a phobia? Fear of going to work, fear of walking, fear of losing weight, fear of winter, summer etc? Fear of being sick, fear of being healthy? There's more to it, it seems.
