Bella Ramsey, known for putting on Ellie’s skin In the successful series The Last Of Us (Max), provided an interview for Pódcast The Louis Theroux Podcastwhich was published on Tuesday, May 6, where he opened his heart and told the reason why he did not leave his home for months, which caused the surprise of many.
It’s about emetophobia, also known as the serious fear of vomiting or see others vomit. As he explained, he lived it as “A fear that covers everything” and “prevented him from leaving his home”.
Before the driver’s question since when he had that phobia, the 21 -year -old actress said: “Since I have memory. I remember that in the nursery a child vomited in the sandbox and a little fell on my red crocs, and it seemed fun. ”However, the fun lasted little, since it ended up becoming a constant concern.“ Since then, every memory I have of vomiting scares me. Even now, I can remember any time when someone felt ill or was sick in my presence”He stressed.
And he continued: “But it’s a fear so irrationalI was very aware of how irrational it was, and people with emetophobia often describe the same. Logically, it is not something to be afraid. ”
In that sense, he mentioned that perhaps his fear could be related to his autism. “Not all people who have autism or are in the autistic spectrum have emetophobiabut when I received that diagnosis, much in my life made meaning and much of my growth experiences made sense. It is useful for me every day to have that understanding. ”
The intensity of fear that I felt that it came to experience deeply dark thoughts was such. In addition, his social life was limited, since he did not feel security and well -being to continue his routine. Thanks to the fact that he sought the help of a mental health professional, he began working on his personal acceptance.
He also expressed his intention to tell his situation to accompany the people who go through the same. “Today, I share my story so that they know they are not alone”he said. Although the emetophobia is still a barrier in his life, the fact of putting a name made it less intimidating.
In turn, it should be remembered that Bella revealed that she has autism during the filming of the series that shares cast with Pedro Pascal. “I feel very good about it”he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“It’s simply fun, and just said that now I can understand it. It is a way in which people will see me and ask: ‘Why beautiful behaves a bit rare? Now people can see why I’m a bit rare. It’s like saying: ‘Now they know,’ ‘he said with humor.
Regarding his decision to publicize his diagnosis, he said: “I did not feel that it would be told to people as such an important decision. I found out and influences my day to day and It helps me understand myself. There is no reason for people not to know. In fact, it frees me even more”.
