Ok-here's an ODD one-and it is a real phobia-that is someone throwing up!! Even hearing it, makes my heart pound and my whole body shakes-if I see it, well, the pounding heart and body shakes are joined by nightmares and just not being able to get it out of my mind-I'm talking sometimes for years! Funny thing, though-it won't make me throw up myself. I didn't have kids for several years after I was married because I was afraid if (when) they got sick, I would run the other way! My mom said when they were my own kids, I could handle it-and she was right!! MY DH knows if he is going to be "sick", he lets me know so I can run out of the house-even in the middle of the night! As far back as I remember, I have had this and noone in my family knows what traumatic event triggered it. I'm 60 now, so I have lived with this a long time!!
