My parents are finally fed up with my phobia.

[fedup_emet]

I had indigestion all day today, because I ate a very very big breakfast, so of course, I panicked all day long. Still am a little bit. The issue now, is that my mom, the rock that kept me somewhat grounded through every kind of attack I've ever had....has finally become fed up with the fact that I can't "get over it" just like that. I don't even know how to feel about that...I've felt numb before but not this numb

My mom has turned the exact same way. Whenever I used to not feel good, she would sit with me in the bathroom (is that weird? I don't know it's not like she'd watch or anything she'd sit there and calm me down by talking to me about Disneyland or something.) when I was crying and panicking about being sick, but now she rolls her eyes and yells at me when I have a panic attack about "something I haven't done in ten years" and something that I shouldn't be stressing about.

I know v*ing is a natural thing and I know it won't kill me, but that still does not change the fact that I suffer from a horrible phobia that takes over my life. It's like she can't accept that. She can accept the fact that my brother deals with a phobia of spiders and death and helps him out all the time, but I have a phobia of v* and that's not acceptable? She can't at least try and help me anymore? It's so hurtful, because all I want is my mom to be here for me and I want to talk to her but I Can't because she shuts me down.

Do you have anything you can take for the indigestion- Pepcid AC, Pepto, some Peppermints or Peppermint Tea?

If you ever need to talk feel free to PM me or add my Facebook (in my signature,) because I know exactly how you feel, I'm sorry that it's happened to you too.

My husband is getting that way... i get the feeling he is starting to think this is a joke. He is my rock also...now...i feel like its hard to talk to him about it anymore..

For indigestion I reccomend either Pepto chewables and I take a half teaspoon of ground ginger for nausea and that helps almost instantly. For gas eat fennel. I had horrible gas after a flu and I ate about 5 fennel seeds and it was gone within 5 minutes.

As for your mom people just don't understand *sigh* My husband laughs at me. It's just V** he says and gives me a weird look. To that I asked him how he would feel if a huge spider crawled up his leg which is his biggest fear. It's just a spider right??

I'm use to it everyone in my family except my older sister gets mad at me . They all think i don't have a phobia i just want attention. I'm like for real! I would never be able to make somethin this bad up.

At least your parents used to understand. The way my mum views it, it seems to me as though she thinks I am making it up It makes me feel even more of a freak. . .

Awee I'm really sorry that they are like that! Sometimes I feel that way too, when I talk to my psychologist hes always saying that its easy and simple and nothing to fear, and I know eventually I will see that, but I can't right now its taking over our lives and we don't need people to tell us its dumb and stupid and not normal we need people to help us get through it! Although we are the only ones who can really get rid of it, what use is it to us if people aren't there supporting us! Yeah they aren;t afraid of it but we are and they should be kind and supportive and willing to stand by us when we need because v* to us is much different! Don't let her make you feel like its not normal and your weird, because you are not alone, and I often always felt that I was and there couldn't possibly be anyone else out there going through something like this! But I found this site, and if we can't get the support we need from those around us then we can all tr y to figure this out together Your not the only one don;t worry !

I know how you feel, my parents can be very nasty towards me. My dad once said that I deserve to be ill. Which broke my heart. I do feel for them in some way, although my dad was Emet when he was my age.. He should be understanding, but my mum and my sister all believe its for attention as they dont understand the mind of an Emet.
And to be honest if your not Emet, you will never understand. Try really hard to bring yourself backup from your put down. And continue to keep strong, it is hard I totally understand, when you get worried about feeling ill or being around someone who has complained they feel ill you want all the correct answers there and then. Totally feel you there, and I'm pretty sure we all do!

Just keep posting on here when you feel like you cant talk to them, and honestly these little put downs help, and make you stronger Hope this helps xxxx

My dad never really understood it and I used to go to my mom and sister for it. My sister helps but doesn't really understand and my mom used to scream at me because she was brought up that way and feels that tough love is all she could do. She gets upset that there's something wrong with me that she can't fix and I'm sure that's how your parents feel. Over time it'll get better. I've learned how to deal with it more on my own it's hard but the only way I could live with this us learning to handle myself. Easier said than done though
