Thank you guys for your input!! I really appreciate it :D
You just reminded me that I was on Prozac for a while as a young teenager, I think, and didn't have any side effects with that, so that...

Hi guys! Haven't been here for a while but I'm interested in going on some kind of anxiety medication and I was curious to gather experiences. Anybody who has been on anxiety meds before: did you...

That's so amazing. You've come a long way and it's inspirational to read! Your story is a lot like mine, too :D x

Awhh, thank you guys so much! ^-^

Since I was about 8 (10 years). I used to pull the hair from my head, and then for some reason I suddenly stopped and turned on my eyelashes.


I wonder if, since it's to do with control,...

I have this - I have no eyelashes because I pull em all out

Yay stress

Couldn't agree with Cycle more xD can't people just co exist and not mention each others' forums? OK, so sometimes the advice given by this forum can help strengthen emetophobia - but you can't force...

Also I think in a way the experience kind of normalised vomiting for me again. Normalised it in that nobody around me freaked out. People were looking and wondering where the noise was coming from,...

I don't do much to avoid it any more, but I haven't vomited in about 5 years. I'd suggest looking for ways you can help yourself overcome it rather than ways to prevent vomiting (thus increasing the...

Absolutely!! I asked how my therapist felt about it once we'd stepped outside, and he said that his throat constricted and it made him feel a little nauseated, so basically what I felt was totally...

Hi guys,

I know a while back I said I'd keep an emetophobia recovery diary and I'm sorry that I didn't keep up with this.

Today however, something happened which was completely unbelievable XD...

Thanks Pauline! ^_^

I didn't update last night because I'm getting sick (a cold, I think) and I just wanted to go to sleep, but I'll write it up today instead! Okay so I wasn't feeling great and...

Hi guys!

So I hope it's okay to post this here. A while back I started a sort of recovery journal, but unfortunately I got overwhelmed with the exposure and gave up before it had a chance to cure...

Yay! I'm glad posting it might help a few people ^_^ It's probably necessary to do a little CBT and changing your thoughts at the same time - But I've been doing that on its own for a long time and...

Hi guys! I haven't been around for a while, because I've been trying to work on emet by myself for a little while and stay away from this site, in case it triggered new fears.

But recently I've...

Awh, this is a nice idea ^-^ hope you're having a good Christmas season too! It's been pretty quiet here this year, and I have no real threats right now but I'm happy to chat and encourage if it...

Hiyaa :) I had this the other night (though I think it was caused by me sitting outside in the cold underdressed. I had also been run down all day beforehand). I was hot but felt cold, my whole body...

That's awesome Shivela ^_^

Aww, thank you Dairy -hugs-. As far as acting/piano go, this phobia gets me down so much that I find it hard to motivate myself to do things. Going to change that now...

I've restarted my exposure therapy. I'm 17, and I can't live like this any more :( I joined this site when I was 13, and I look back at those posts and wish I'd just worked harder to get over it back...

Fear of getting stage fright and vomiting, fear of eating food cooked by my dad's fiancée (I won't trust her cooking), fear of getting motion sickness in the car on the way to his house.. This fear...

I would take up acting, dancing, move to my dad's house and get better at piano, do motivational speeches and just generally live.

Hum :(

You guys! I didn't check this post for a while because I haven't been on the board, but I just came back and saw all these encouraging replies. It made me feel so much better, especially since I've...

Buut I know I have to keep going. Incoming rant now XD I doubt anyone will read this, let alone reply to it but I rarely vent and I really need to.

So I'm trying to do exposure therapy for my...

I don't want to go :(

I really really don't want to go.

Bus journey.. meat cooked by someone else.. nope.. nope nope nope.

Will let you know how it goes :(

I'm so scared. But I think that's good, right? The next few months are going to be very scary but I'm not backing out now just because I'm feeling vulnerable.

Things I've done in the past few...
