Is there a clinical name for a 'fear of been physically sick'?!
Question: I am just wondering cause i have noticed lately, i am constantly worryin about been sick, especially if i go out the house?. I have only been sick once in my lifetime ( yes ONCE), and have not been sick since i am 16, also if it helps before my mom died she kept been sick.
I wonder if there is any websites out there about this fear?
