Starting to get more rational about this!

Tonight I suddenly came down with d* and n* out of nowhere, which is exactly what happened when my husband had noro 2 weeks ago. Obviously I wasn't thrilled with the idea of having it and got a bit worried, but the first thought that crept into my head was 'oh good, my husband is home so he can look after the baby if I'm really sick. I'll feel better by morning and then I can stop worrying about catching noro this year!'
I drank a bunch of water and then breastfed her just in case I was too sick to do it later but now my stomach is feeling better and it might just be something I ate. But I think the treatment I've been doing is helping me get more realistic and less catastrophic about the idea of being s*.
Maybe by next noro season I won't be worried at all because i'll be cured!! Although I heard it takes anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to cure something like emet if you put your everything into it. Maybe I'll be closer to the 6 month mark as I'm not as bad as some and don't have a ton of other issues to work on.

Good for you! I feel a little like that. My first concern is the children.. how would I do school runs or cook tea, so having my husband home would be one major concern out of the way. What is the worst that could happen?? I v* on the floor and make a mess? The main problem I have is the letting go.. I just wont allow myself to v*!!

I have been thinking about this.. The most scared I have been in my life was when I was in labour and my body started pushing! I felt out of control. I wasn't pushing, my body was doing it all by itself..

That is actually amazing :) :) :)

You are like a tiny step away from not being a emet anymore

Good luck xoxo

i've been working on that rationalizing too.......sometimes hard when im deep into a panic....butreally does seem to be helping me.

great job :) :)

thats great you can think like that!
what treatment is it you've been doing?

I'm using the anxiety and phobia workbook while I wait for treatment and CBT. It's helping a lot. I always get way less emet in the spring/summer though so that might be part of it.
