Hi, I’m brand new...help!

[alexisa]

hey
everyone! my name is alexis..i'm brand new to the site and extremely
relieved that i'm not the only person who is terribly afraid of being
nauseous/throwing up.

i'm 22 years old and have not thrown up since i was in the 5th grade
(10 yrs old.) since i've graduated college, i haven't been thinking too
much about it, but a couple of times a week i get so scared that i'm
going to throw up in the middle of the night suddenly. is this a common
thought among you guys? i definitely need help. i fear overeating and
drinking too much and i think that since i've gone so many years
without being sick, it's bound to happen any minute now! help!

i appreciate all of your support.

thank you![img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Welcome to the site! Yes, these are common thoughts for people like us. I never drink and tend to eat very small meals.

Hello


You haven't been sick for twelve years, I haven't been sick for 35 years. Try and think a different thoughtthat "I haven't been sick for twelve years so why should i be sick now".

Welcome to the site, nighttime is a VERY difficult time for us emets!! I think most of us wake up afraid we are going to v* every now and then, but like cloughie said, you've gone over 10 years without v'ing, why would you now? THat's what I tell myself!

Hi, Welcome to our family !!!


(It says that you joined the site in April 2004.)


Like everyone else here says. It has been so long since you last v* why should you do it now?


For me it has been about 23 years "TOUCH WOOD!".


You will find that most emets don't drink alcohol in case it makes them v*. I don't because to me staying s* free is more important to me that the feeling you get when you are drunk.


Good luck in staying v* free and we are all here for you. Welcome again.

Hello alexisa, welcome to the club! So glad you found us here...I was so happy the day i discovered this site and found I wasn't alone.


It's been 11 years for me, and I'm still going strong! Something I've found out through being here - which i think might be of some relief to you - is that often emets who are petrified of throwing up will NOT do it, even in some of the most extreme cases, unless they give in and allow themselves. It's often the case...if you have gone that long without doing it, I'd say you are pretty resistant to it!


Anyway, I hope that makes some kind of sense XD Its nice to have you here. Hopefully we'll see you around! Any time you need support, just let us know - we're all here for each other [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]
