Madisonsmom,


Thank you so much for the compliments on both my coping skills and my writing! Writing is my creative outlet (painting and drawing used to be, but I can't stay up late all night as...

I have been a self-diagnosed emet for most of my 52 years on this planet and had most of the same anxiety-relatedobsessiveness about it that most emets have. For the most part, however, my emet does...

Jamie, congratulations and bravo to you! That was definitely a start in the right direction towards your own healing.

My emet is pretty much under control and has been for over 30 years, so it isn't something that necessarily goes in phases for me.I generally don't think about it all that much, but I do think about...

33 years! I was 19 when it happened and am 52 now for perspective. Even now though my emet does not affect my life in any way (except when others are ill or I feel vaguely queasy), I will avoid doing...

Yum. But can't eat it all that often due to lactose intolerance. The cream and cheese kills me.





Olives?

Oh, I absolutely HATE that when it happens! Aside from being disgusting to me and for it triggering my emet, I wish it woudn't happen, but it does and sometimes it simply cannot be helped. Sigh.

I have 8 cats so I am pretty immune to this now. At least once a week one of them gets ill from hairball but it doesn't bother me at all. It's human stuff I can't handle at all!

I am 1/2 Northern Italian, English and Scottish. I am a dark blonde with dark grey/blue eyes and manage to get tan considering how fair I am. Personality wise? I have the feisty passion of an Italian...

I haven't thrown up in 31 years (really!) and I don't take anything to avoid it...no antiemetics, no Peptol Bismol (that stuff actually makes me sick)..nothing. I just will myself not to in all...

Hi all,


My name is Pina and I am a few months shy of turning 51! Yikes, when did I grow up? I am still the same funky, hippie artist type I always was! I am proud of my age and all of the life...

True, I am an event planner at a college in New York and I plan events everyday of my life! This inclues my second wedding to my 2nd husband back in September 2000. We both had gone the formal route...

Freeze dried food means that afterit has been cooked it has beenfrozen to the extent that all the moisture content in the food has been removed. When water is added to the dried mixture and it is...

If I didn't have to work I would definitely be a night owl, but because I have to get up at 5 a.m. I am a forced morning person. I can't even sleep in late on weekends anymore! I am up by 6 or 7..a...

I have been a vomit phobe since I was a little girl, although at the age of 50now I really cannot recall what triggered me to become one,...

Sounds like he is ready, hon! Go for it and good luck! smileys/smilies_01.gif Edited by: pvm1955

While I am not thrilled with the idea of myself vomiting (which I haven't in 31 years!!!), it could happen and I would have to deal with it, of course. What sets me over the edge of reason and into...

I eat yogurt once a day for breakfast. It's good for your intestines, especially if you have diarrhea (as in an intestinal flu or something simialar)as its live cultures restore a healthy balance to...

I have had that feeling, but the less you eat the more acid your stomach is producing, which will make you much more N* because stomach acid - in an empty stomach - will aggravate your feeling....

My emet as never affected any of my relationships at all, actually. I have never been officially diagnosed with it because I never knew it was a phobia until a friend's daughter developed it many...

I haven't thrown up in 31 years, so I tend to fear other people doing it more so than myself. However, if I do feel queasy or especially nauseated, I do get anxious about that, but less so than with...

I am 50 all...soon to be 51, and I am loving it. Ladies, if you are worried about turning 50 eventually, don't fret about it! I look better NOW than ever...why? I love myself more than I did as a...
