Also learn that avoidance of the actual problem is what keeps this phobia feeding and alive! If we learn to introduce ourselves slowly to whatever the problem is, we can then see that our thoughts of...

Sorry that was meant to say 35 YEARS!

Olschesky your points were exactly how I used to be, Im a recovered Emet now and just visiting this site to give hope. But yes a get out plan would always be needed and I could never go anywhere...

If no sign of nausea then you deffo wont vomit! You would feel really rough throughout!

Hi Reganstorm

I can reassure you we wont get ill like normal people, in fact the phobia isnt holding us from being ill, just making us petrified of it happening in any circumstances!
Yes I am in...

Im pretty much a recovered Emet, and thought I would give you my advice. Just today I had a bit of diarhoeah, it was really odd, I didnt feel sick or anything just this bit came out and then I...

Hi all, Last visited this site a good year or so ago, just as I was beginning CBT treatment.

A lot of time has passed and I wanted all of those sufferers like I was to know this can be beaten!!!!...

Hi and welcome to the site!
I know that feeling of reading someones post and thinking "that is SOO me". If anything to get out of this site, its been that I know there are lots of others feeling...

Your GP might prescribe you a short course of Lorazepam or diazepam 1mg. 1mg is enough to take the edge of my anxiety and some GPs wont mind as long as you dont depend on it. I tend to save it for...

Hi just wanted to add that over the years I have "tried" to explain to my family that I am an emet. Because I was always a strong minded person my nan (who brought me up from 5 years) wouldnt believe...

Hairy Fairy, Ive been an emet since I was about five I was sick last year and it was a first since I was about eight. I dont wish for the same as you, I wouldnt want 34 years to pass without vomiting...

omg SALT WATER??? That is enough to make anyone vomit. The stuff is pure gross!

Yay excellent news!

I have to agree with most of these posts about non emets just carelessly going about their day as normal. I remember my son going to school one day and while we were waiting to go in, this crazy...

OMG Spaghetti Bolognaise is something my son avoids since he was sick after eating some at Pizza Hut and he isnt even an Emet!!!!!!

Hey I feel the same. Three partners have had to "deal" with my issues and each time I have split up they seem to branch out and do things that perhaps we couldnt. Its made me feel very crap about my...

Excellent, fancy just getting better without any help at all. What a strong person you must be. I dont really worry about it daily as some do on here. Mine is more when having to travel with people...

Just a question, did making yourself puke make the phobia ease?

OMG your poor sweetheart, you really are suffering alone.
Listen you need to get your mom to see whats happening to you. Your not a mental failure your just an unlucky person who has a phobia. Just...

My partners mother sadly lost her life 2 years ago after a constant battle with cancer (starting with breast then spreading throughout) she literally vomited all the time and had to take bags in the...

Hi there just read your thread! Welcome
Well Ive been Emet since I was about 5-6 years old and I have three children now. I too worried the same thoughts about morning sickness. In fact anything...

Yuk that man must be seriously strange! Personally I didnt even know people do these things but its so good that a few of you went on and tested yourselves. We should suggest a self help programme...

Well it seems most of you are extremely brave. I could list on a toilet roll what I am scared of, but ille try my best.......
Im not afraid of
Being alone
Being in the dark
Errr Spiders (apart...

Have to agree, it is well gross but I was on a positive note today and was determined to do something about it!

Hi all
Just thought I would test myself on the site ratemyvomit which was listed on here as being really bad. I did quite well and didnt have any panic attacks while looking through the pics and...
