This is going to sound really stupid.

I didnt want to have to post this but im having a really bad anxiety attack.  Last night a bunch of my friends were drinking beer.  I hate beer so i drank vodka with 2 other of my friends (who are guys and drink a lot).  I started drinking it at like 10 last night and stopped at 12, but then had some more at like 2:30.  Well I have emetophobia really really bad (fear of throwing up) and I woke up this morning to my friend who only drank beer throwing up a ton and so im really really scared im going to throw up from the vodka i drank. If I were going to throw up, would I have already? (its 9:00 am)Im so so so nausious but i dont know if its because i am having an anxiety attack or cause im really sick.  i never drink. this is the most ive ever drinken before. so i know i sound really stupid and this is embarassing but will I throw up? or is there like a certain amount of time that passes that you know your not going to throw up? I dont have a weak stomach or anything.  Can someone PLEASE ease my mind..I feel so stupid and awful and im hiding in my friends room because i dont want people to see me freaking out so bad.

I'm the same way. I have emetophobia really bad too and I always get panic attacks if I think I'm going to be sick. This happened to me last year on my birthday when I drank way too much and I felt like I was going to get sick. I was drinking vodka too and I never drink that much and I was starting to freak out because I didn't want to get sick but that just makes you feel worse. You should probably just lay down and try to relax and tell yourself you aren't going to be sick because I'm pretty sure you would have been sick by now so I think your going to be just fine :)
