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 kinda like this one, because the eytes are actually on the persons body, hence, they are actually looking at anything but the person. It shows the irrationality of the fear (somewhat at least, I dont know much about it).

    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 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.

    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 :)

    I 100% have this. I haven't vomited in forever because I'm too scared to let my body actually push the food out of my stomach. It seems so scary to vomit.

    I suffer from this!! Not perse the fear of me vomitting (although I don't really like that idea), but more of witnessing someone else vomitting, thinking about it gives me so much stress!!
