Fear of vomiting

[anxiousguineapig]

Is anyone else afraid of vomiting? Not from the perspective of failing a particular method, just generally. I used to have emetophobia and while it's gotten better I am still absolutely terrified of vomiting. I don't have any plans to ctb right now but if circumstances change so that I want to, I would want to overcome that fear (I have sn so that is my most likely method)

I'm not afraid of it, per se. But my stomach has an extremely low tolerance for anything unappealing. I gag uncontrollably at the thought of certain things, so I have very little confidence in being able to ingest any substances that would take my life. It would immediately come back up.

Take an antiemetic and hope for the best. If you vomit, take heart in that it will probably be for the last time. You are probably avoiding any number of future vomiting incidents (sickness, food poisoning etc), by taking SN and feeling nauseous one last time. That's sort of how I look at it.

It's completely understandable, it's already stressful to prepare and attempt CTB. So if in addition, vomiting is added to the list of unforeseen events, this can destabilize. I overcame this apprehension by planning other glasses of SN. I tell myself that if I vomit, it's okay, I'll pull myself together and swallow another drink.

Yes, I can count on one hand the times I threw up in the last 40 years but the torture of it is not forgotten

I am also afraid of vomiting. It's the only thing that stops me despite having antiemetics. I would like my death to be similar to falling asleep and not suffocating in the fumes of my own vomit. It's beneath dignity.

I have extreme emetophobia and it's actually the main reason I want to ctb. Had it ever since I was a child (caused by a traumatic illness) and I've had to get therapy many times for it. I'm on anxiety meds because of it too. It's awful and controls my life. That's why sn for me is completely off the table as a method.

What's on the table?

Nausea for months was worse than hit by car. Poison is torture. Got sn because failed partial... Scared to die but even more to fail poison
