Thank you so much for doing this!! I really want to see the episode but can't find it anywhere. =( Just little clips and pieces.

Thanks for keeping me updated. Keep it coming! You are so brave!

Can't remember if I've ever posted on here, but I sleep on the sofa too. For some reason it's my security blanket. Like I won't V if I'm on the sofa (yeah right it could happen anywhere) LOL....

So I just recently came across the tv show called Obsessed on A&E. One of the things they use to treat the cases I've seen is CBT. I CANNOT imagine what going through CBT with our phobia is like.

So last night was my first night upping my dose from 25 mg to 50 mg and I was SO nauseous!! Does this go away!!? I'm afraid to take it again tonight because I don't want to get nauseous. =( Help!

Pepto tablets work great for me.

My doctor prescribed me 50 mg of Zoloft, and for one week I'm supposed to take a half pill of 25 mg, then increase to 50 mg. Could you please tell me your experiences and side effects of this...

This is what I TRY to say to myself all the time, but somehow when I go out to eat at a restaurant, this all goes out the window. What pisses me off the most about this phobia is that I KNOW it's...

I did 3 or 4 sessions with a hypnotherapist (not psychologist) and found that it helped me a little bit. Basically she showed me EFT (which are these tapping points on the body that somehow recharge...

Please don't say this. Yes, this phobia is horrible, but there are lots of meds and things you can try to help. I went to a hypnotherapist which helped a bit. And i'll be starting my meds this week....

Oh my gosh. Here's whats happening with me recently. I go out to eat (eating something safe like grilled cheese or something) and then my anxiety goes through the roof when I'm in my car (public...

I've always read that there is some "traumatic" thing that started yours. For me, it was getting FP from McD's. It just went on from there. In 3rd grade on a flight with my parents the man in front...

Thanks so much for keeping us posted!

Kudos to you!! You're my hero. I couldn't do nursing (wanted to labor and delivery) because of this phobia. So, I chose to do ultrasound.

Hi! If this helps, I've been a teacher for 7 years and NEVER had somebody get sick in my room! =)

Am I weird? I am proud of the fact that I'm an emet. I find it to be a completely normal fear and at least this way they know why I'm so skinny and don't eat. I mean, this phobia isn't "normal" but...

I do this exact same thing!!! I figure if I eat half of a hamburger or just a couple pieces of sushi that I won't be sick for as long if/when it happens. Ugh, this is the most frustrating phobia!

I totally understand as I've lost 7 lbs in the past few months. All I can say is that maybe the lump/feeling in your throat is hearburn? Have you tried taking TUMS?

Not sure hun. I'm worried about the same thing when I move to NYC this summer. Except not only am I worried about v*, I also worry about getting d*. My nerves don't help because it usually ends up...

Try putting Vicks vaporub under your nose, and that should take care of the smell if there is any. My dog v* once and it smelled like human v* and I did this and just cleaned it up b/c I love the...

Do any of you watch the Amazing Race on CBS? I cannot fathom traveling to all of those different countries and eating all the possibly bad food. And, on this season a team got food poisoning. Exactly...

How old are you? Every single word you wrote sounds just like me! Even down to the popping the peptos and sleeping sitting up. Sounds rational to me! =)

That's exactly what I'm doing. =) I've been a teacher for the past 7 years and I'm going back to school to become an ultrasound technician. I live in TX and have lived here my whole life so I'm ready...

Please let us know if this works and what it does exactly? Is it reading or pictures?

Yes, I don't drink and don't eat out which saves me a lot of money. Other than that it's ruining my life!
