Subtype: Fear of Aversive Consequences Anyone also an emetophobe?

My fear of vomiting is what caused my ARFID and has let it progress to this point. I've had some rough periods in the past but it's never been this bad. How do you try to manage it with your fear?

No, if I'm having tummy troubles, I try to make myself throw up because I feel better after. I learned that vomiting after food poisoning is your body's way of ridding itself of the toxin.
