My crippling vomiting phobia left me suicidal and scared to leave the house

A MUM says she was left suicidal by her extreme phobia to vomit.

Alex Sim-Wise’s crippling fear surfaced when she was eight and slowly stopped her visiting fun fairs, travelling by boat or going out with friends.

Now, the 43-year-old baker struggles to leave the house.

If her husband is away, she constantly worries about their ten-year-old daughter being ill with a stomach bug.
