a small bit of advice..

Hey! So today I'm at college, feeling the same feeling all us emets get, but today im happy.
Why?
Well, Saturday night was my boyfriends 19th birthday night out. I told myself that I WAS going and that I wouldn't let him down again with my emet.
The place I go is a fun, happy club/bar which I feel safe in because they throw out anyone who looks too drunk or looks like they'll v* soon, so it's a massive peace-of-mind place for me!
Anyway, I popped outside because a few of my friends smoke, and as I looked across the road, a girl my age was in a bent over position v*ing! My friends will never fully understand my phobia, but they really couldn't help me that night. I was all over the place, my hands started sweating, my stomach was flipping and my head was dizzy... and the first person I looked for was my boyfriend! He was nowhere in sight.
Once I found him, about 3 minutes had passed and I was still in major panic mode. He instantly saw it in my eyes as I looked at him, and he pulled away from his friends and cuddled me, stroked my hair and told me to let it all out. And that was it. I did. I burst into the biggest flood of tears right in the middle of the club, and yet he didn't care. He just kept telling me to let it all out.
He took me out and walked me along the seafront, telling me that I have to remember that nobody was looking apart from me and that I have to remember that.
and then out of the blue HE started to cry!
Bless his heart, he was upset that he wasn't there for the 3 minutes I panicked on my own!
And that's why I'm happy. Because I finally found someone who cares, who REALLY cares. My family are useless and don't want to believe it, and I though I'd always have to cope on my own.
I just want anyone to know who's in the same position as me, who have family who don't care, that there is ALWAYS someone out there to help I promise xxxx

He's a wonderful soul mate and best friend, and at the age of 18 and 19, we're so ready to take on the germy, scary and sometimes beautiful world! Gosh he's most definitely a keeper x

Oh that is great!!! I am so happy that you have someone who is there for you! Every emet person needs that person to lean on!!!!!! Too cute he cried too! It is great when you have a man that isn't afraid to show his emotions!

My boyfriend is good about by emet.. I know cause whenever I do feel scared or doomed I want him to be there cause some how I feel better when he's there and he comforts me.. when I went through a week panic from being exposed.. he took care of me the whole time. He got me all different food cause I wasn't eating anything and then he got really worried saying if I didn't eat or drink soon he was bringing me to the hospital and he started crying which I felt cause I hate the fact I put him through that. So I do consider myself lucky, even when I don't have emet he's always taking care of and always going out of his way to make me happy and is always there for me.

That's really sweet, deffo one to hold on to. Man I need to get myself a boyfriend like that! I swear everyone on here is a couple, you lucky buggers.

[CathyDavies]

hehe thank you for all the replies. Since this post I've had numerous other panic attacks, and once again he was there to help me.
God I love him!!!
to everyone who doesn't have someone like my lovely boy, you WILL find someone! I honestly didn't think I'd find someone as sensitive and as caring as Alex Jones. If I can do it, you can
