I'm absolutely positively sure it's fine :) but if it makes one feel safer, like lyntess, then go for the fridge/microwave, by all means!

That's my problem, lyntess - I like butter, and I can't usually stand margarine or fake stuff!! So, real butter gets hard in the fridge - sigh!

If she goes to counselling, maybe tell her that you're willing to go with her anytime. My husband (then boyfriend) would come with me to particularly scary sessions (like when I was going to be...

Yesterday they only took 2, but once they did 7. :S Thankfully it was when I was younger and had nice big easy veins!!!

I leave my butter out and we've never gotten sick from it! It's looking a bit gross right now because it's really hot, so it gets a bit melty, but I like that better than it being so hard (from the...

What about something you can do from home, like editing if you have good grammar/writing skills? Tutoring one-on-one?

I just had a blood test today and felt a bit faint. I hadn't eaten since breakfast - it was only noon or so, but I'm the kind of person who needs to eat very frequently! So I was hungry and thirsty,...

All the time. But if God wants me to have emet for the rest of my life, I will have emet for the rest of my life. The important thing is that He is sovereign and in total control! :)

Abbey__xx, I hope you can stop it soon - after over a decade it's so ingrained in me and very hard to stop!

It's called trichotillomania and there are some good sites on the net about it, but also...

When I feel sick, I start pulling out hairs. It's a terrible habit and a painful thing to do, though I've been doing it since I was so young I hardly notice the pain anymore. I just hate the fact...

Hi bigemet!

Sometimes I sound hollow when I have gas. :S I wonder why that is! And "pinching" sounds like it could be gas too. Has it gotten any better/worse/different since you posted?

Hope...

Don't come for the weather, Simply! I live just across the water on the island, and I like to say there are two seasons here: Rain and Allergies.

I agree about Vancouver, Sage - I lived around...

Doug . . . harsh. Glad you weren't scared away, emeteraser. :)

Sometimes I worry about appendicitis if I have really sudden severe low abdominal pain. I don't really know if there's anything you can do to prevent it. I just did a google search and the internet...

Thanks everyone :)

So I had a chance to try it again tonight, and didn't do so well this time :( It's 4 in the morning right now. My husband is staying over with the friends he went camping with -...

Here's a triumph! (for me) :) It might not sound that hard to most of you, but I hate being alone at night. I always convince myself I feel sick and I'm sooo afraid of v* when I'm alone. I swear I...

Personally I don't think there's any way to really know what our dreams mean. I know people try to analyze them and decide that certain symbols/places/things mean certain other things, but how can...

I think they shouldn't be any more worried than they are. Non-emets have the right view of v*, and I wish I was like them!!

Another Canadian here - typical that Canada wasn't an option, lol!

Jaimej, welcome to the forum! I'm glad you found us. I'm also in my early 20s and hoping like you to have overcome my emet by the time I reach the 30s or 40s - I don't think I can stand it that much...

I like green! But not when people look green or say someone looks green :S

I'm on Vancouver Island. PM me if you want my email address! :)

I chose meat eater b/c I eat fish and poultry. I was vegan for several years, but eventually found that that plus emet made it too difficult for me to get enough nutrients. I commend anyone who's...

That show doesn't sound like it makes any sense at all! Glad I don't have a TV, haha!

But why do they always have to put these scenes in shows and movies?smileys/smilies_12.gif

Speaking of drinking, I drank like half a glass of wine last night and I felt really relaxed afterward. I also ran into a table. Like I said, no tolerance! Hehe. smileys/smilies_09.gif
