Grumpy, negetive, and hateful!!

[charzysbebe]

Hello all! Just wondering if anyone else experiences hatefulness towards spouses (family) when you are "on the edge" with this fear? Like say, you are fine, then for example...your child isn't acting like himself, so therefore you pick arguments, speak only negetively, and nothing seems good at all, because you fear they will vomit. Then, if maybe you find out that your child just had an owie that is not vomit related, then you feel ok, and you act like a total different person, and less grumpy.


Is this common behavior when you are anxious about vomit?? Are others grumpy and see nothing positive under an "emet spell"?? I need other peoples' experiences with emet affecting their moods in a negetive way. Thanks!! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img] Charlotte

Yes Char, I am the same way. When Tyler says his stomach doesn't feel good I get into a panic and I become angry, angry that he may be sick, angry that he may have the stomach virus, angry at him, angry with the why in the hec does he feel sick, I am a grump and not very nice! Than when I ask him how are you now? and he says fine than I am back to being happy, back to myself. I feel like a goof for acting that way. It just doesn't happen with my family also friends to. My neighbour knows about my phobia, this past week her twins were vomiting, and I became angry, she would slip notes under my door and I would get my eye brow pluckers to grab it, becoming angry at her thinking what are you doing? Stay the hec away from me. Now her daughter is sick vomiting last night, and she left another note under my door asking if Tyler can pick her son up at the bus stop today! I become angry at people who are close to me. I get all in a frenzy, once they say there are fine than I am ok. Answer to your question you bet!!!! You are not alone on this one!

im kind of like that but not in an angry way. as soon as i think someone is sick, i turn into almost a mother hen and am asking them every 5 seconds "are you ok? do you want a gravol?"...even if they just burped (which considering some of the people i know actually cant eat without burping turns every meal into fun time...). but as soon as i can see they are ok, i change back into the real me again and can actually have normal conversation.


you its funny, last night was the first time in my life i realized how annoying we can be when we are freaking out. ive been sick so i have this fun little cough and cant stop coughing. my sister (who to the best of my knowledge wasn't (isnt?)an emet until the early hours of the morning wed, when my being sick woke her up and probably scared her) honestly came to my bedroom door every 3 to 5 mins asking if i was alright, and was i going to v* and did i need a bucket or anything?...and all i wanted to do was be in my bed, comfy like, without having to answer the door constantly... part of the reason i felt annoyed i think was because i wasnt afraid at the moment, and i knew i was just coughing and wasnt going to be sick at all but...really made me think about what i do to other people

Yes! This is me. I get extremely angry. I think (for me) I have figured out why. I suspect that it takes too much energy to try to contain myself and my feelings toward the emet, that any other little thing will set me off because I have to put all of my energy into trying to controlemet. Also, sometimes It's just the whole misplaced agression. I am mad at emet. (completely pissed, actually) and I have to take it out on something.. get the agressive feelings I have toward emet out of myself somehow. Unfortunately, anyone around me (usually loved ones) are the target.


My psychologist says that the minute I begin to feel anxiety about this, I should do something to get rid of the negative energy somehow. I just haven't figured out quite how to do this.


I'm glad to hear that others do this as well.

You are not alone, I get angry to.. But try and play it off.. Like the other night my husband was at the gym, and onhis way home he calls me and tells me he is soo tired, and he should have not gone to wk out.. I ask why??? He said he almost got sick while doing some weights..I got angry and told him that what if its a SV, they do come on suddenly like that, he could pass it on to our son, and thatMathew is only 13 months and can dehydrate easily..He needs to sleep at his mothers house..BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Hubby was ok in the end, he was the one dehydrated, but I just wanted to tell you, you are not alone..Christy

I get angry too. I guess I get this way when someone is "V" sick in my house because I know that it is something I cannot control. I guess you could say I am angry at the situation, and scared that I am going to catch it and therefore treat my hubby, and anyone else in my path, like crap!!!! Except the children, I am always sweet to them when they are sick, Im just a you know what to everyone else, lol!!!! So, yes, emet affects my moods greatly!!

Is everyone doing well at your house right now?

Yeah, everyone is doing ok at my house, except for a few colds. I guess it just dawned on me last night, how I can come home from work in a decent mood, then I sit down and my 11 year old daughter didn't look quite right because of her cold. Well, because of my mind running wild with emet thoughts, I got hateful towards my hubby. I start arguments fast that way. I hate it. Man am I ever glad to see that I am not alone here!

Whenever I am not feeling right, I get very snappy and short with my bf, and we end up arguing sometimes over it, most of the time I wish he'd disappear because I like to be alone when I am feeling bad..

I get edgy too, because I hate feeling out of control.

I've never thought about it before, but I guess I do get that way. I don't usually start off that way, but by the 15th time I ask my hisband how he's doing and I feel like he's not beign truthful, I start to get angry. Plus he gets angry at me for asking every 5 minutes. It's best for us to just stay apart when he's sick.
