Kaikey how are you doing now? So sorry to hear you've had such a stressful time! It must be scary for you having to deal with this twice over, from your son and your husband too! But you know what,...

Hey JoG! Old, old member here who actually hasn't posted in years, but needed this forum today (I'll get to that).

You are going to be just fine. Trust me. Not only do us emets have a higher...

Jasmine, how are you doing today? I have to completely agree with kam00096 up there - whenever I'm anxious and panicky, it triggers my IBS and gives me those EXACT symptoms. At the time it's hard to...

Hi guys. You might not know me, I haven't actually been here in around 6+ years...which you would probably regard as a good thing! I've been doing exceptionally well with my anxiety, to the point...

Thanks for your responses, both of you smileys/smilies_01.gif It's nice to see you guys holding hope for getting through this, because you will!

mason: I had one single session with a therapist...

Hi all! I'm sure you guys don't remember me - I haven't been active since '05/'06, but if my name DOES ring a bell, then hooray!

I'm just dropping in to let you all know how I've been doing in my...

I put my iPod on shuffle, and the first song to come on was "Map of the Problematique", by Muse - so I'm gonna reccommend that one! smileys/smilies_04.gif


I also love "Queer" by Garbage, and...

Aww, look at those ears!! She's gorgeous, Sarah!


Yes, I am most definitely a cat person! Love dogs too, but sadly don't have one at the moment smileys/smilies_06.gif


While I'm here, here's...

I have green - its supposed to be calming, haha! I've had green from day 1 at these forums, and its never brought me any bad luck - so I can definitely reccommend it to you, Penny!...

Wow, that's good news for you, Charlene! Glad all's well =D Edited by: angel13

Well done, Abbey - so happy for you! smileys/smilies_01.gifI love how you said you laughed your way through it. That's the way I'm gonna go, if and when I ever v*.


Thanks for the...

Hey devil mushroom,


Are you anxious about anything at all? Exams? Have you been getting enough sleep? Because IBS tends to strike you while you're down, I've found! I only get it when I'm...

Thankyou for the heads up on that one, Tracey!


I'm actually going to see Little Britain live in about a week smileys/smilies_04.gifit'll be a good test for me, because I've heard there's ALOT of...

^ That's weird, I have a friend who v*d from a Dorito overdose just recently! Must be that awful artificial cheese stuff they coat them in.


Last time I v*d was when I shared a chocolate donut...

Haha, nice one, Nichole! So glad this experience has helped you with your emet. You're so right - we make it out to be much, much worse than it is, so when it actually happens its a kind of "Is that...

*raises hand* Yep, me too! smileys/smilies_06.gif


There'sacut off point for me. Because last time I got sick in the night it happened at about 3:30, anything after that is ok. If I wake up at 5,...

Well done, missminty! Good on you for being there for your friend while she was in pain smileys/smilies_01.gifI'm sure she really appreciated it. I know I would love to have such a sweet and caring...

dreamer, I'm so, so sorry about Toby =( Reading your post made me really sad, as I am such a cat lover! Not a day goes by when I don't dread losing my own 11 year old cat, Minnie. She's the love of...

Hi Tooscared, I confess I haven't actually flown anywhere, but at the end of the year I'll be going to the UK from australia - so we're in the same boat!


Just want to wish you a safe and...

I often comfort myself by saying that I am strong, and that if it comes down to it, it is ultimately my choice whether I do it or not. If I v* in the future, its gonna be a time when I will let...

This is how I tell the difference between true n* and just anxiety. When I'm anxious, I just ramble on about anything to anyone - I'm one of those people who gets chatty when nervous. Talking takes...

Most things that come out of a bottle take YEARS to actually become harmful, and even then, its only when they sprout hairy mould or change colour that you really have to worry smileys/smilies_04.gif...

Man, that sucks...isn't it just typical, the way they ALWAYS happen at the most inappropriate times! I had one like that in the shopping mall once. It just took me by surprise. I suppose because it...

Aw, that sucks, Anya! I very rarely get stomachaches, but when I do, they freak me out!


If its gone now, then I'd say you're fine ^___^ Pain can make you feel pretty tired and n* even after it's...

Congratulations, Hale, she's a littleangel! Sorry to hear the whole process was a bit rough for you, but it's over now - and just look at your reward!


I think you're right, she does look like...
