Hi Mikey, and welcome to IES. It is always nice to get more males on here (we are a bit of a minority lol). You have come to the right place. When I first came here I didn't know what to expect. Now, I have made many great friends and allies in my struggles with emet and other issues. You are not alone by any means. It sounds like your emet is fairly serious at this time. Mine is somewhat under control, but it gets much worse if I start to feel nauseous.

Don't be shy. IES is a support network! I think I can speak for everyone in looking forward to your acquaintance.

Best of luck,

Darrin

how did you get urs under control iv tried everything i cn n about the nausea thing i think iv lost the real feeling of it , im so very confused haha but i try to carry on

When I say mine is under control it is only because I don't feel sick in any way. But sometimes I feel nauseous, and then I really start to worry. That feeling of nausea is horrible. And sometimes my anxiety makes me think I am nauseous when I am not....with psychosomatic symptoms and all that jazz, you know? I have not thrown up in many many years. That is a blessing and a curse. Sure it is nice that I am on such a winning streak, but at the same time is it really worth it to worry about throwing up all the time in the process?

Feel free to peruse the IES website and look at some of the therapy ideas and stories of other IES members. I hope it helps. I am not really sure how my emet got a bit better lately. It just kinda did (I know that is horrible advice).

Take care,

Darrin
