A woman who was afraid of tinsel and said just seeing it used to make her throw up has told how she has overcome her worst fears. Hannah says she struggled to breathe and felt queasy to the point of vomiting when faced with the festive decoration.
‘My family and friends don’t buy me presents anymore and I don’t get invited to work Christmas parties after I refused to take part in Christmas jumper day’.
Hannah first developed a fear of tinsel after a ‘tinsel-related incident’ made her throw up on her family’s Christmas presents when she was six-years-old.‘I don’t know what happened but I went into full panic mode when they started wrapping it around my head.‘I didn’t want to ruin the game so I stayed quiet at first but when they wrapped my entire body and I couldn’t move I started screaming.
‘Every year since I was a kid I’ve been getting less and less Christmassy. I don’t put up decorations, I don’t eat Christmas dinner and I hate Christmas music – Christmas is essentially banned in my house. ‘Usually my boyfriend goes home to spend Christmas Day with his family while I stay in and watch TV’.
