Holy crap fish potato I DID IT!!

*RELIEF, TRIUMPH AND LACK OF VOCABULARY*

I watched videos of people getting sick... extreeemely graphic and disgusting (People were doing a 'milk challenge', where people drink heaps of milk until they get sick). I absolutely freaked out, but I kept on watching it until the end. Sure, I had an ant-acid to have a bit of reassurance, but I'll watch it again without taking an ant-acid tomorrow. And I'm fine! Nothing happened, except my anxiety which went away. I wanted to close the video/block my ears/shut my eyes, but I pushed through. I suggest you watch an exposure video, but a not-too-graphic one at first, so you can work your way through.

I'm on my way to recovery. *put's sunglasses on*

[Matilde Mar]

I wish I could do that but I'm WAY too scared, I couldn't do that for my life, you're so brave! Congratulations

[Cynna]

[ewilkins]

Congrats to you! I've done that too and it does seem to help!

[rph1011]

To each his own. Not so sure exposure is for me. Maybe it's worth a shot. Congrats

[Grace47]

Congratulations! You're on your way.

I can watch those all day. Its when people puke near me I freak out that I will get it.

[jbsmom]

Its not seeing others get sick on TV thats bothers me so much as the thought of going through that. I do not want to be the one to get sick. If other people do it thats fine. AS long as its not me or a member of my family or someone i come in contact with. TV is fine cause I cant catch anything from them. But Congrats to you! I am glad you were able to conquer that anxiety! Good for you!!!!

[Feelgoodhope]

Yay!!! So proud of you!!! I saw a picture of a guy throwing up today and I almost had a panic attack ): I hope I can be brave like you someday!!!

[shadowxmagic]

Wow, that's great! I can't even type the word out let alone watch a video of it. You should be very proud of yourself!

[LuckyNumber]

Feelgoodhope and shadowxmagic, you can watch someone getting sick without a panic attack, you just have to take baby steps. Every time you get scared, just remind yourself, it's not real and it can't hurt you. The sound and the sight of it will scare you, but nothing will physically happen.

I find the milk challenge one good because as we all know its not some kind of illness that makes them vomit and usually when they are vomiting, they are laughing about it which kind of relaxes you thinking that its not as bad as we make out.

[DamselInDistress]

I'm the same way... if they are puking for no reason I'm afraid ill get it. I wont eat.. ugh it's horrible!
