Hi Guys!
As some of you may remember I am leaving for boot camp in 3 days and have been very up and down with nerves and anxiety. But last night I was talking with my husband I kind of had a...

Hmmm... now that I write that I see there is no Edit button... I know I have done it before, I just can't remember how. Sorry.

Piers,
I don't think Doug meant you are not welcome. I think he is concerned about you and the severity of your phobia and hopes you are seeking help. (Is that right, Doug?)

You are DEFINITELY...

In US they do make something called veggie wash, it's like a spray and then you rinse... I'm sure it can't kill noro though, or else I imagine it wouldn't be safe to ingest... I think just rinsing...

For people with digestive issues, for example IBS, they say to eat your salads at the END of your meal so the lettuce and such has other food around it. That makes it easier to digest. However if...

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

suaerkraut?
sourcrout?

One IMPORTANT thing that they never told me was that your BM will be WHITE. Or whatever color your barium was. I FREAKED when I saw that. It's normal.

I drank it when I was a teenager, 15 years ago. I was not SO emet then. I remember it being hard to drink it all, it's more than your stomach wants. But they let me drink it slowly. It's really...

I don't think you would panic and run away. It's like all the mothers on here say, when it needs to be done (like helping their kids), they do it. I think when you see that you are helping these...

I have developed a pretty good way of cleaning with bleach since I posted this. I put my bleach/water solution in a spray bottle. Then, instead of spraying the counter-top directly, I spray the...

you'll be great!smileys/smilies_14.gif smileys/smilies_01.gif smileys/smilies_02.gif

I'm totally excited!

I looked at Sage's thing.... it starts with just the letters v*. Then vo*** then vom** etc. It was really easy for me but I don't think I have it as bad as some. It takes like 36 photos before you...

Any advice on how to use bleach without staining everything I own? I just started using bleach and have already ruined a few things. Thanks!

I push and massage on my stomach. I don't know why but if I feel n* I HAVE to have one hand pressing into my stomach. maybe it's actually gas and that helps move it out?

I feel the same way! I am so happy to hear I am not alone but many of the stories freak me out, because through reading them I feel like they have happened to me too. I like to remember that there...

This posts interests me because it has been so long for me since I v*, I am always worried I will not recognize the signs. As an emet I am more scared of V* out in public (I'm a musician, so the...

I know! It's totally gross, but it helps to take away the mystery for me, since I haven't v in more than 20 years!

Goddess,
I only V twice in my life too, that I can remember (and I'm pretty sure I remember all of them bc I remember the two times really well!) I haven't V since I was around 8, and I'm 28 now. ...

I haven't V** in over 20 years. I have only done it twice in my whole life and that was before I was 10. I think that is why I have emet (bc I haven't V** in so long) and I HOPE when/if I finally...

I always thought I was so safe using anti-bac all the time, and now I learn that it doesn't kill the sv, the one thing I was trying to kill (I don't even really care about cold germs, etc). Does...

Thanks for the replies! I think I have a mild enough case that I will probably try to expose myself to photos, then videos, etc. I believe my fear stems from not having V* in over twenty years......

I was wondering if people with mild emetophobia get better or worse when exposed to panic-causing situations. For example, I have a hard time if I see v**** or if I am around children and keep...
