    I am very scared right now. I feel very nausous, and I think tonight is going to be the night. It is 430am right now, and I can't sleep cause my stomach is so upset. I went out tonight, and I had a very good time. We went to the bar, and I even hit it off with a very cute guy. He is friends with my neighbor, and we talked all night. So when I came home I was in a great mood, but now I feel so sick. I don't know why either. I didn't eat but 3 french fries at the bar, and the group I was with was chowin down on the whole bar menu. All I can think of, is that I flushed the toliet with my hands, (I know gross, but I wasn't thinking and my emet has been low lately) then I ate the fries. Of course Iwashed my hands before I ate, but I honestly wasn't really even thinking about germs or really anything except the new guy I met. I even was eating mints without washing my hands, I was sharing drinks, I was having a normal night out without emet, and now I feel horrible. My stomache feels very queasy. I didn't drink much, and I drank water in between the 2 beers I did have. I am just terrified that I caught a sv. I was so careless tonight, that it could of happened.


    What do I do? I tried to get some sleep, and I even fell asleep for about 45min, then my stomach woke me up. It comes in waves. I will feel ok, then extreme nausea will hit then it will pass. It is preventing me from sleeping, and I am terrified I will v*. If anyone is awake, I really need some help.

    heya,


    if you didnt eat maybe it's hunger?? hunger and alcohol don't mix i'm sure....


    see if you can eat something bland... a cracker/bread or something?


    don't try and associate this with the fact u had a night out without emet (flushing the toilet with ur hands e.t.c.)


    see if you can get urself absrbed into some great late night (erly morning) television or something....


    i can't say for sure that i don't reckon ur gnna v* but it does sound like maybe ur stomach is just feeling a bit dodgey from the alcohol and no food.


    thinking of you,

    I did eat some crackers as soon as I got home, and it really didn't help much. I ate about a dozen and I really don't think its hunger cause I ate dinner before I went out. But thanks, I just can't figure out why my stomach is so queasy. I am going to go and try and watch some tv, but Sunday morning tv always sucks. I appreciate the thoughts Jenneh. I just was doing so well all week, then boom, I feel sick. I will give an update later.

    Well, its almost 5pm, and I still feel like sh**. I think I am hungover. I know I didn't drink much, but I haven't drank in about 8 months. I only had 2 beers, but I was buzzed. So, I really think its a hangover. I got to start building my tolerence up again. I forgot how bad it is to have a hangover. I had a few scary moments when I thought it was going to happen, but I fought it off. I am actually getting a little hungry, so I thought I might boil some rice. Thanks Jenneh, and Rhonda I appreciate your concerns for me.


    And, I will say this hangover and all, this incident is not going to get me down. I am just so sick of having to stay in cause of emet. I had a wonderful time last night, and I barely thought of emet or germs, and it felt great. I am going to keep a positive attitude and keep going out. Hopefully things will get better. Thanks again you guys.

    Ifthe sickness isnot from the alcohol you drank, it is probably because you got anxious about having broken a lot of the rules you held for yourself about not flushing with your hands and sharing drinks etc. It would be your mind's way of not allowing you to live a life free of fear, a way of punishing yourself.

    Glad that you are feeling a little better Michele. I remember those hangovers, pretty gross. I am so glad that I quit drinking 6 years ago. Sometimes I think that if I was going to have a beer the smell would probably make me gag.
