    Hey guys...


    Well what can I say...you haven't heard a peep outta me for god knows how long. That's why I am taking the time out of this busy day to make a point of writing to you my excuses and updates. And I have some pretty good ones =)


    First off I gotta apoligize for not being on here lately...I really feel terrible. But I will try to come here more often...it's the least I can do in return for all that you guys have done for me. But since I haven't been here and posting for a while...I want to know what you guys have been up to. I've talked to some of you on MSN quite frequently (cough cough iz and stephen..) But you guys, your the best, I want to know how you've been! Hows life and emet treating you? Let me know, I'd love to hear about it.


    Second, I am proud to say that my emet has greatly improved over the past little while. I no longer feel as though emet rules me, I feel as though I rule emet. Sure, I have anxiety-nausea sometimes, but not nearas often as I used to...and my anxiety has greatly decresed. Of course, that could be because of the prozac, but prozac isn't the only thing that has helped. I have helped myself. And what I want you guys to know is that if I can help myself and make a difference to myself, so can you. You just have to believe that you are stronger, believe that you are better that emet, and get angry at it. Make it feel and make yourself feel like emet can't control you anymore. Most importantly, (and yes I know this is corny) Believe in yourself. Believe that emet is something you can beat, because you are a strong, strong, person. And believe that there is life without emet, and that things WILL look brighter. Believe.


    Yet this is a very difficult time of year for me. One year tomorrow will mark the anniversarry of my Daddy's death. It has been a hard go, my boyfriend is moving at the end of next month, my grandmother (who lives with us and whom I am very close to)is going to Halifax for 2 weeks, and my moms birthday is coming up which is a reminder to me that things change. And I hate change. Yet despite all this, I have kept my chin up,and tried to look on the brightside. And you know what? It helps. To think positive.


    School is the main thing that has kept me away from this site. I never knew that grade 8 could hold so much work! Already we've had more homework then I thought would be possible to even create in 2 months! But my grades have been kept off and it haspaid off. So its all good.


    Well guys now you know what all has beengoing on in your littleSunshine's life ;-) I eagerly look forward to yourreplies to this post onwhat you've been up to and how you've been treating youremet.


    Oh and for all you newcomers that haven'tyet heard from me, sunshine, (which is a near impossibilty! ;-D) I'lldo a little introduction. My name is Laura, akaSunshine, I am 13 and havebeen an emet all mylife. I have hadhypnotherapybutthat didn't help so I set off with a goal of conqouringemet myself. MyDad died of cancerafter a couragous battle one year ago. I have OCD andSevere Anxiety Disorder and am currently seeing a physchiatrist (or however you spell it!) I live inOntraio, Canada. My picture can be found on the online emetophobia album.


    Hah! That sounded likean 'about the author' didn't it!Lolz...[img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]


    Love you guys, take care!
    Laura

    Hi Sunshine!


    Good to see you! Wow, you're post was almost as long as Neha's posts! (You know I love ya, Lil'Sis!) It's good to hear that you're doing better! I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, though. That's an incredibly young age to lose a father. I'm 24 now, and my dad had a brain tumor, that didn't turn out to be cancerous, but we went through a long period of "what if Dad has cancer and is going to die?" So I sort of know the anxiety and sadness that cancer or a near-cancer experience can bring.


    But I hope everything continues to go well for you, all things considering. Welcome back! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

    hey Laura! *hug* im so glad that things are goin well for you, you are 5 years younger than me and i have to say, wow! your attitude and your capability inspires me, it's great to know that there are people with a strong mind at a young age, sets u up for a great future which u look like you are on your way to having. I wish i had the strength that u have when i was your age, maybe i would be a lot stronger today bcos of it!
    Well u asked, so i will tell! My emet isnt beating me up as much this last few weeks as it has been, since i took a stand and declared to everyone here that i was goin to kick emet in the ass and get out of my depressed routine, which i did, and as u said, thinking more positively REALLY helps. I dont feel as over whelmed and weak against emet anymore, all because i told myself that i was better than it, ive been goin out my house 5 times a week which a few weeks ago id only be goin out about twice, so yeah, greatly improved!
    Im really sorry to year about your dad, i hope u can use the positivity u have about emet to get u thru this time!
    *hugs* - keep goin ur an absolute soldier, a real army of one. Much respect to you.
    Love always,
    Faith-Marilyn

    Hey guys thanx for replying! Yeh I know my posts can be long...its kinda impossible for me to keep them short! And boy it takes strong eyes to read all that jibber jabber!


    HDogg: Wow, thats really too bad about your Dad. I know that it is very lucky for you and your family that it wasnt' cancerous, that is a gift in itself. But by the same token the fact that there is a possiblity of death is what beats it all...even if you do not know for sure that that will be the outcome. Whenever my Dad got back from his tests or doctors appointments, the first words out of my mouth would be, "Is it fatal yet?" and although it took 2 surgeries and 2 years for us to find out it was, the feeling of dread and total saddness was the same that we would have expereinced no matter the outcome.


    Sarahx: My gosh girl...I haven't talked to you in sooo long! You really sound more upbeat and happier then the last time we talked..good for you!


    Faith M: Wow, its soo good to hear about fellow emets improvments. It is really inspiring to know that more and more emets are conqouring this stupid phobia and that it no longer rules our lives as much as it once did. Its great that you finally had that moment which I like to call, 'The moment Emet starts to Die" or as you say, that you decalared to everyone here that you would finally kick emet in the ass. Wow hunn thats so awesome. It takes a strong, strong person to be able to do this, and its great to hear more and more people are discoverying their inner strength can be as great as a mountain. I really admire you for taking a stand.


    Well today is a hard day, being it the 13th and all...(a year ago today...) but I am staying home with my mom, and we are going for a walk where my Dad used to play baseball (He was #16...ever wonder why its sunshine16? ;-)) and so that will be nice. Its a tough day...its been a tough week...but we really are very spiritual people and I believe that he is right here with us...probably looking over my shoulder monitoring what all I say to you. =)


    Thankz again for the replies guys...keep em coming!
    Hugs to ya'll~

    Jenn...you can do it...and I think that you know that, deep down inside. You just need to have that certain confidence...that certain feeling...and then you watch, those negative thoughts will have appear less and less. I am always here if you, or anyone for that matter, need support. Keep trying, hunn. I know you can do it! Everyone can do anything they put there mind to..no ifs ands or buts about it. =D
