Naseaus and nightmares all the time

[snowangel]

I cant sleep anymore. Scared to get sick in the middle of the night. Always fear the worst. 80 % of the time I am worried that I may v****. Flu season soon. Only going to get worse. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

You gotta think , our emet has made us probably 80% less likely to get sick from people around us. People usually get sick because they don't wash thier hands or don't stay clean. We already have a leg up on these people come flu season. Just keep that in mind.

Hmm... well. Try not to keep yourself from sleeping. I know how you feel, but most people do not vomit that often and it doesn't always happen at night. I have had that experience before. Four years ago, I had a virus or food poisoning and the 2nd time I vomited, I was asleep and suddenly woke up and did it on my bed. So. I have had that experience. It was very unpleasant, but it happened. A lot of us have had experiences like this and now we are somewhat afraid to sleep. Try to go to sleep.

hey snowangel....


i used to be frightened to sleep -- still am when i have a cold or some other illness -- what changed it for me was i found feeling nauseous linked with tiredness... so i made sure i had a good night sleep to stop the nausea coming the next day.


i wish there was smthing i cud advice you with -- maybe u cud try some herbal sleeping tablets or kalms just before you go to bed ... or some relaxation stuff ... that way u can relax before u go to bed and hopefully will peacefully drop off...

i always feel sick going to bed.. i sit up and feel terrible some nights, i know how it is.
What you have to concentrate on, is knowing that there is no REASON for you to feel sick, therefore the feeling is all anxiety-related.
Regular people do not feel nauseated this often because there isn't a nagging voice in the back of their heads telling them to be careful, or to avoid certain situations because of it.
You're certainly not alone in this! Although it is highly unpleasant- the nausea you're experiencing is certainly not the real thing.

Although ive been coping with emet ok lately nights are still bad or me. Im always afriad that i will wake in the night and vomit. Everytime ive been sick it was in the night so its a bad time for me. But as long as idont wake up before 3am imusually calm, dnt ask why lol!


All youcan do is relax before bedtime so that you sleep straight thru.

I find that when I'm having a bad night, I'll pop in a movie I've seen a hundred times and love and makes me feel comfortable, and I end up falling asleep to it about 20 minutes later, and it always helps with my panic, and I never think of v* when there's something else I am concentrating on.


Hope you find what works for you!

I WILL NOT go to bed if I feel sick. I am terrified of it actually. I will not lay down either. Sometimes, in the middle of the night I jolt upwards in panic thinking I'm going to throw up. Usually I have horrible terrible vomit nightmares. And recently I've been having horrible nightmares in general, of being raped and murdered. I think my OCD is getting worse because I wake up in the middle of the night and check my windows are locked, I check the car backseat over and over before I get it, then turn the light on and check again-at night. The night is the worst....it's usually when I feel the worst too. My sleep has been horribly affected due to this fear. I feel your pain on this one!

[snowangel]

Wow...I guess everyone can really relate. And most of you have had bad experiences in the middle of the night. Ugh...theres no getting over this horrible fear...it is tattood, engraved into my soul...I hope you all get over this fear. No one understands how crippling it is and most people laugh...I guess the only thing worse than waking up & getting sick is getting sick when your not at home...(which I also fear so much)...when will this ever go away !!!

[img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]Until finding this site, I thought I was the only one. I'm 56 years old and have been an "Emet" since I was 17. That's a long time to harbor a dreadful fear. But, if it is any consolation, I haven't v***ted since 1958!! So, getting sick at any time, night or day, is not a guarantee. Just know that you certainly are NOT alone in this singular form of suffering.

Could you sleep the nights after, at all?


I never get sick at nights, but I am so scared about this. Sometimes I can´t get sleep....only because thinking: Maybe you have to vomit THIS night.


I feel better ,during the day, because i think, i have so more controll about my body....[img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img]
