I have Tictacs (or however you spell it lol!) in my purse and I ONLY buy Mint Maalox. I find that smelling the mint when I'm panicing helps me calm down, though it's probably more the deep controlled...

I know it feels hopeless. I've even felt that way many times before and just...hated. Hated this whole thing and even having to be here on this forum. I wish all the time I didn't even know what...

Stupid Panic Attack!! AHARGHR@&(@!

So. Sunday I went to a sports bar with my boyfriend to watch the Raiders game (he's the fan not me! haha) and I ate a LOT of food because he ordered this 1/2 lb...

I'm not like that. My emet is 85% about seeing OTHERS vomit. Of course, I don't want to get sick myself, but I avoid bars and parties where people are drinking like the plague because I don't want to...

Ok so, two questions here.

First: I'm iron deficient but everytime i take an iron supplement or a multi-vitamin with iron in it is makes me feel VERY VERY sick for about 15 minutes after taking...

Well, atleast you got him a card and didn't just completely blow him off like he doesn't exist, that's good!
But I would definantly report to the landlord again that he is probably living in...

Read a book, for sure! I get really into stories be it movie/video game/books, but books seem to suck me in even deeper! :D

Cash or Credit/Debit Card?

Well it sounds like you have a positive attitude towards dealing with the emet atleast! That's awesome!
I can tell you I would probably be too embarressed to actually move seats and would have ended...

When I had a UTI, I don't remember the medicine they gave me, but it also made me feel a little upset. Not really bad, but it did a little. I just kept telling myself that it's just a little feeling...

Welcome!

Well, if it helps at all, of all places...you're not unusual here! If you feel like sharing your stories or your current feelings or need any words of comfort, we're all here for that and...

I think the thing that makes me so mad about the skin picking is that I really DON'T have bad acne or anything. I would say I get a "normal" amount of blemishes but because I pick them (and then pick...

Unsure how I feel today.

I got to work and asked my co-workers how their labor day weekend went and one of them responded that they had been working at his grandma's house all weekend with the...

I think I would fear it the same because for me it's a mixture of discust at the substance mixed with panic at the action of it re-appearing again mixed with a n* feeling myself forcing me into a...

Salon, but only because I've some some CRAZY CRAZY hair and the only time I went to a Barber shop with my dad they gave me a bowl cut. x.x

So, as maybe 1 or 2 of you might know, hahaha, I'm an emet. BUT. I have other OCD habits that would seem to contradict my emetophobia?

Examples: I bite my fingernails. I wash my hands A LOT and...

Well, I actually met my boyfriend at an old job of mine and it just kind of stuck, haha.
To be very honest with you, internet dating sites can be very helpful. Before I met my boyfriend, I looked...

I love reading (Currently reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins, so far very interesting!), I LOVE LOVE playing video games especially MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Play Games ;)...

Very interesting thread responses. :)

I say 6 on average. Have had full blown panic attacks but also have moments where I don't think about it at all.

Bleh. Fall back / rant.

Last night I had a headache and I couldn't bring myself to take a Tylenol because I was being irrational and illogical due to my episode with Excedrin a little while ago....
