Salmon

[helsbels]

Hi all, just thought I would share a little emet moment with you all. I was cooking dinner last night and I took some salmon out of the fridge to cook and noticed that the use by date was 28/02, so it wasn't over, but it was on the date. When I opened the packet, it smelt really fishy and my stomach just turned. I felt horrible because I wanted to eat it (I didn't have anything else and I like salmon), and my bf said it was fine but I just knew that I wantedto throw it away because of my emet.


My first instinct was to come here and ask for an opinion on this, but I only have access to the internet during the day while I'm at work. Then I thought, no, because most people here will tell me not to eat it anyway, and really there's no reason why I shouldn't, it's OK, just not as fresh maybe as it could be. I really wanted to try and eat it because it would help with beating an emet moment and there was no reason why I shouldn't at the end of the day. At the same time though, I was freaking out a bit and my bf said to just throw it away otherwise I was going to be feeling anxious all night about it.


Anyway, to cut a long story short, I cooked it, served it up (my stomach was rolling but I forced myself through it) I asked him to eat some first (LOL) and he said it was fine so I ate it and it tasted good. I ate all of it, and then I felt fine all evening. I was mildly anxious and I did have a few alcoholic drinks because of that. Then when we went to bed I questioned him extensively about how he felt and we had a short conversation about how he got fp once from eating fish, understandably that made me feel really anxious and I had to read my book for a bit to calm down before I could go to sleep. I kept asking him how long it would take if it was going to make us ill, but he said he didn't know, and I could really have done with coming here to find out, but I couldn't so because of that I just had to live with it.


I woke up feeling mildly n* but I think a lot of that was down to anxiety, and tiredness, and I also still analysed my every feeling and toilet trip, BUT I got through it, I somehow feel I beat a bit of my phobia, even though it made me really really scared. I feel fine now, I've had a normal breakfast and I'm just off to get some lunch [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
