All of us have varying degrees of emet, ranging from mild to severe, some with ocd and some not.
I was wondering what sort of emet are you? I have discovered that i am only scared of virus vomit, mine and others around me. I can cope with my kids as long as i know its not a stomach virus, when my son vomited repeatedly last year i had to call my mother for back up, after a trip to the doctors we found he had a chronic ear infection causing the sickness and i was fine with it, I obviously found the noise, smell and mess disgusting but coped ok alone. When my daughter has an asthma attack she often coughs until she vomits and im fine with that too. At a party recently a male friend got so drunk he was projectile vomiting in the garden and i was ok with that. But the thought of a stomach virus in the house is enough to send me over the edge and tumble into insanity, shaking, crying and trembling. Why??? Is it because im a control freak and its the unpredictability of the virus that scares me, catching me or either of the kids unawares, if noro and its cousins didnt exist i wouldnt have a worry in the world!
Your thoughts please.
