False. I can't stand it.

TPBM loves horses.

One thing I've learned for sure on this website is that this phobia is not cured by v* or by lack of v*. Some of us have not v* in a very long time and are still terrified, others have v* only...

I haven't heard of it but it sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Pocket Full of Kryptonite/ Spin Doctors

"Stayin' Alive" in my pants.
"I did it my way" in my pants.

Based on my experience and other stories I've heard the most severe phase lasts about 8 hours in the worst case scenario with constant v*. Then after that the symptoms subside and are usually gone...

A piece of Ghirardelli chocolate. Can I die right now? smileys/smilies_04.gif

I agree, I think you'll be fine.

24-48 hours is what I've heard to be the standard time.

The Feeling Good Book by David Burns
The Feeling Good Handbook also by Dr. Burns.

These books deal with cognitive therapy, which is not only a proven therapy for many anxiety disorders, but has...

Sorry if those aren't UK shows but you get my drift. Insert your equivalent (fake doctor shows about hospitals).

Doesn't everybody? Do crushes on famous people count?

TPBM likes to watch fake medical shows like Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy or House?

Talking about being afraid of taking medicines: can you believe I've been terrified of taking Dramamine my whole life because my mom once told me it would make me throw up? I even pretty much...

This might make you feel better: I've recently read many websites from the U.S. and Canada that say the reason SV* seems to be on the rise is due to increased reporting.

As a student of language...

Susie, I'll work with you on this one: I'll refuse to worry that I'm going back myself and that I will be exposed to 150 kids and all their Christmas germs. I got through last semester, and I can...

Good for you!

That's great! The more you have little successes like that, the better you will be!

I can vividly remember v* with a lot of food and without any food, and yes, without it is pretty painful, but the food really didn't make it much better, in my opinion. You really can't win at all,...

Hey, if this makes you feel better: I am terrified of drinking milk, because it has made me v* before. So (typical emet) I always have someone "taste test" it for me if I get the rare urge to drink...

Well, I think even if you are exposed to a SV that doesn't mean you will contract it. After working in a school for four years I've not caught anything and I've made mistakes at times.

Get this: ...

You're pretty dang brave to get a lip ring in the first place! I have no piercings at all because I'm terrified of that pain. I have no clue what is safe in that instance, some others will be...

I never had but my roommate in college did once. She had asthma, though. It was when I was very freaked out of seeing others do it, and I basically ran off and left her there on somebody's lawn. ...

Yum!
