Does this make you feel better?!

[mommy2braylynn]

Ok, my husband could care less if he V*....Get this........


We were talking the other day about when him and my daughter V* from a SV*...He didn't even REMEMBER getting it!! He was up ALL night with V* and D* and he forgot about it!! WTH? How can you not remember that??


Anways, I admire him for that, and for some reason, talking to people who don't mind if they V*, makes me feel better..Does this make you feel better!?Edited by: mommy2braylynn

It does, for sure! I just try to tell myself, maybe it's not THAT bad, if someone can do it and think nothing of it...Its SUCH a big deal to me though, regardless...He thinks part of the reason he is that was is, he used to v* like once a week when he was little from migraines..

Yeah my sister is like that, I'll be like "Remember you threw up when you had chicken pox" and she would be like, "I don't even remember that how can you?" She doesn't care, she drinks till she pukes all the time! I really wish I could get to the point where I don't care about puking.

Yeah it does. It helps me to be around an under-reactor. My friend is sick all of the time (not in front of me thank goodness) and it goes to show if some people can handle it just fine maybe I could too....hah. [img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img]Maybe not.

I know excactly what you mean it makesd me feel tons better, my family
and my boyfriend are excactly like that! there all just "so what it's
only being sick" it makes me feel worse when someones who doesn't have
this phobia goes on about having a stomach virus and how bad it was as
it makes me feel like there is something to fear if you know what i
mean? to my boyfriend I think it's just like having a headache! LOL!

My husband would rather have a sv* than a cold!!! I can't get over that. He also sais that he likes to v* because it makes him feel better. I agree with the feel better part, but I would rather suffer with then*and not v* at all until it passes.

[lianaismadchill]

yeah i know what you mean. Most of my friends could care less about v*. So they always telll me how its absolutely no big deal. Their like "it takes 2 sec & its over. You rinse your mouth out & blow your nose & 1 23 your all better." I wish I was liek them.

I know what you mean, It makes me feel better to see a five year old throw up and then like 2 seconds later they are running around having fun again...so, it begs the question, what the heck is wrong with me?? A five year old can do it and feel no anxiety, but me a 25 year old can't!!!??? Goes to show that it IS all in our heads!! I think that it has a lot to do with how you were raised too. I was a really healthy kid and only v* a few times when I was little (most notable from surup of epicec!). I can literally count the number of times I v* on one hand!! I think that since I didn't do it very often, I don't really know what to expect so that adds to the fear. I never had a NORMAL v* experience either like most kids that get a cold and v* once or something. All of the times I did it were tramatic...severe sv*, surup of epicec, on a plane, and in a car. Does evryone else have similiar experiences?? As in, you didn't do it much as a kid, or it was tramatizing when you did?

I only had a few bad times when I was a kid. I still remember the three worst ones. One was on Valentines Day, I think I was around 6 years old, I ate too much chocolate, and that night I couldn't even get out of bed before I v*, so it went all over the floor. Thankfully, my mom wasn't an emet and cleaned it up quickly. The second time, I was a little bit older, and had some sv. I remember laying on the couch with my mom, she was reading stories to me to keep my mind off of being sick. Suddenly, I got up and took off for the bathroom, thinking I was going to have d*, and right before I got to the bathroom I v* on the floor and my bare feet! The third one I remember, I was in 6th grade, I was 11 at the time. I had eaten some school pizza for lunch and later on wasn't feeling too great. I thought I might have been hungry so I ate a Ham n' Cheese hot pocket. About an hour later, I was sitting in my room and I felt horribly n*. My bedroom was off of the laundry room upstairs, and my brother was in the bathroom. I knew it was going to happen, so I looked around frantically for a place to do it, because I knew I couldn't hold it down any longer. I turned my head and v* into the huge sink we had up there, 3 times. It was horrible...and so disgusting, I cried for what seemed like hours. My emet just seemed to get worse with every experience. When I was 16 both my father an I ended up with fp from the pork topping on our pizza hut pizza. I got up around midnight and it started, my father heard me and asked if I was ok, as soon as I said "No, I'm v*", he ran into our second bathroom and he started, it was only 30 seconds apart. I knew I was in trouble because I ate 5 slices of pizza. I think he had 5 as well. I was up all night, I couldn't even sleep because if I did, I'd wake up and have to v*. My ribs were hurting so bad, all I wanted to do was die because I was so scared and just wanted it to end...hopefully I don't do it for a long time to come but lately it seems I get n* at a lot of things.

my husband is like this too.. it makes me kind of jealous actually. I wish that i could be so non chalant about it.. *sigh* blah .

I totally know what you mean. Some people it just doesn't phase them in the least and I really admire them. For instance at work one of my coworkers she looked fine, was chipper and everything, and she's like "You ok you don't look so good" (I was on my period so I was feeling real nauseas), and so I just said I was on that, and she sympathized and was like "yeah I was up all night v*ing, got an sv", and she said she still felt like crap, but she acted perfectly normal. Man I was like wow you are amazing! I guess some people just don't get phased.

I wonder if it is in how your raised? I also didn't get sick much at all as a kid and it was always traumatic for me anyways, not just v*ing once or anyting, but like being sick over and over and over and not feeling better (due to an sv). I have to say tho it does help me to be around someone who under reacts like that, actually I should refrase that, someone who is real cool and calm about it, but doesn't act all like "wow whats your problem?" for me not being keen about the whole thing. Like they are just good about it but don't make me feel like a freak because I struggle with it.

Yeah it makes me feel better when others think nothing of it. My bf used to vomit quite abit when we first started going out because he'd just given uppot and was having withdrawals, and he'd just walk to the bathroom, do it, brush his teeth, and come back like nothing happened. Since he was so calm and relaxed about it, it made me feel like I could trust him more for some reason, and I had no problem being around him (I just blocked my ears and sang to myself lol). It's those who look really sick or in pain that I can't stand to be around if they've just vomited. I don't know why lol it just sickens me. Imagine how we'd go if we were living with another emet! Even though the place would be REALLY HYGENICALLY clean, I think our anxiety would be through the roof lol

[mommy2braylynn]

Thank you for your replies everyone!


Silver~ I also did not v* much as a kid, and it was always horrilbe when I did!
