Crazy emet weekend

[jesskali]

Only an emet will understand these feelings...

My husband and I spent the weekend at my parent's lake home, which is about an hour away from our house. We went to Chick-Fil-A on Saturday morning. Everything was going alright until a little girl sitting across from us started holding her stomach. She got up to go to the bathroom and her mother asked was she going to be OK. The little girl stayed in the bathroom for a long time. When she finally came out she didn't look so hot. I don't think she *v* but I was so scared that she would. I immediately felt like panicking, so I asked my husband if we could finish our breakfast in the car. I seen the little girl on the way out and she still looked like she didn't feel well. I felt so stupid for panicking for nothing, but I was so scared that she would *v*.

Then, later on that day at Sam's Wholesale Club we passed this little boy who was very graphicly describing how he *v* recently to the adult that was with him. I felt the panic sensation again! Then I was paranoid all weekend thinking a sv may have been going around in that area.

Despite all of that, it was still a really good weekend. My birthday is Tuesday and my husband and I celebrated it this weekend.

Don't you just hate emet sometimes?!?!

I still dont understand why people feel the need to talk about their V* in public. Who really wants to hear that anyway, regardless of emet.

If I was in a restuarant and thought someone might be sick and about to V* right there in front of me, I would start panicing and want to leave too. My husband of course, would just look at me like I was crazy. He just doesnt understand. Actually, if it had been us in a situation like that, I probally would have got up and left.

Im glad you still had a great weekend. Although, I know you had these "emet thoughts" in the back of your mind.

Congratulations on not letting those incidents ruin your weekend and early happy birthday!

Great on handling the situation fine! Sorry your weekend had some pitfalls, but you did alright! Happy early-birthday!

Jennyleigh--I actually didn't tell my husband that is why I wanted to leave. I just told him I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to sit in there. If I had told him, he would have made me feel ridiculous!

I also don't know why people feel the need to get into graphic detail
of their v*** episodes, but then again, I don't know why people discuss
the other personal things they do.

A situation like that happened to me when I was younger. My cousin got sick at the table but luckily I was in the bathroom at the time. It can ruin a very good day or weekend but you handled it very well. Most people would feel uncomfortable if someone v* in front of them. As for the boy describing his v* experience, I'd get panicky too. Again, you did well in the restaurant scene.


Happy Early Birthday. Hope all goes well for you!

Hey, well, I would have felt just the same and my fiance would have looked at me incredulously when I voiced my concerns as if to say, "Oh don't be so silly." Ifour partnersdon't suffer from fears and phobias (my fiance never panics about anything!) they just can't relate to how we feel, so there comments can reflect this and be hurtful at times. And don't ever feel stupid for panicking, Jess, as we have a genuine phobia, so are bound to react in these ways that seem bizarre to non-sufferers. If you are stupid, so am I and the many other thousands of emet suffers who would have reacted in exactly the same way as you!


Regards people talking about v* - we went over to spend the day with my fiance's sister and husband on Sunday. We went for a meal intheir local pub, I went to the loo and when I came back to the table the husband was talking graphically about when he v*ed after having far too much to drink. My fiance laughed and said, "You came back at the wrong time!". He was then going on to other v* stories so I said, "Well this is brilliant before-dinner talk." I guess he got the picture that I didn't like it cos he changed the subject!


I really don't get it - why do we want to hear about things like that. Nobody goes around graphically describing their bowel movements so why do they do it with v*?


One last thing -


"Happy Birthday, Jess!" [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
