new here

Hi there~


I am new here today and wondering if I am also a person with EMET? For as long as I can remember I have been afraid of V****, crying, screaming and even being so scared that I could not move to get to the bathroom in time. Not sure why but this scares me to this day, if I even think I am going to be sick I will go and sleep in the bathroom just in case and the whole time I am in there I plead with God not to make me do this and I constantly have a cold wash cloth to wipe my forehead down and the back of my neck to cool me off, I always seem to feel better when I am cooler. I sometimes wonder that is a mind over matter thing, I talk myself into not getting sick, I wonder if that is possible? Because my husband and son will get the stomach flu and be V******* and have diarreah, and then I will get it and have the diarreah part and the stomach hurting and sweating and mouth watering but never actually V****, why can't I just get sick and get over it? I freak out whenever I hear someone getting sick, the smell or seeing someone sick, it takes me a long time to calm down and be ok. I guess one good thing came out of this~My mom was always reassured that I would never be a girl that she had to worry about becoming Bulimic~Yuck.


Thank you for your help and listening!

Well no one here can tell you for sure that you have emet, but from what you are saying it does sound like what most of us suffer from.
I know totally what you are talking about with the sitting in the bathroom. I don't do this any more but I think the meds are helping me out. I use to sit in the bathroom all the time when I felt a little nauseated, pleading to God that this was all I asked of Him. I didn't want to get sick. I too discovered that being cool helped and I always had toilette paper and toothpaste ready in case I was sick.
As emets we have amazing control of v****** I don't know why but we somehow can control it for the most part.
My husband and son both had the upset stomach and I managed to control mine so it didn't happen.
WELCOME to the site btw. It is a pleasure to have you. It is always great to meet new people. It is just too bad that it has to be a forum on something so unpleasant. There will pretty much always be someone on here to talk to and try to answer your questions.

Hey there!


It does sound like emet, seen as ur sso scared of v*ing. Are you on any medication for it or had any therapy? I agree that emets have a lot more control over v*ing than non emets. But it doesnt stop us being scared unfortunately (.


Anyway, welcome to the site and i hope to speak to you more soon!

nick8,


You are definitely not alone. I am 33 did not know anyone else personally that had this fear until about a year ago, when I first began looking up information about it on the internet and found this site.


A warmwelcome to you.
