I see alot of you avoid eating alot.. but I have 2 questions....

1.) Aren't dry heaves alot worse than actually Ving? It hurts alot worse to get dry heaves, and usually if you get THAT bad of a SV, you are going to vomit, if your stomach has something in it, its alot less painful..

or do you tolerate the nausea and possible dry heaves for the fact that you won't actually V*?

and 2.) Have any of you ever actually made yourself vomit when you got so sick of being N*? I have.. the last SV I had, I was so N* for so long I had to make myself sick, and by the time I did it, that few minutes of being sick was followed by not feeling N* at all anymore and being completely better...

I am a smidge different than you all, or maybe my phobia isn't completely the same.. I read somewhere that the fear of others vomiting isn't actually emetophobia.. but I am so much more afraid of others being sick then me.. I really really dont want to get sick, but I honestly handle it better than if someone else around me is sick, you know? I'm the hugest, whiniest, self pitied thing when I have to V* but I don't panic and have anxiety about it like someone else..
