I'm 6'0" and usually around 145. I went down to 125 when I completely cut out alcohol last year, but I've been drinking a lot lately (anxiety), so I gained it all back. Ideally, I'd be at 130. That's...

I'm 6'0" and usually around 145. I went down to 125 when I completely cut out alcohol last year, but I've been drinking a lot lately (anxiety), so I gained it all back. Ideally, I'd be at 130. That's...
Oneriwien, I TOTALLY relate! I was in Vegas earlier this year with a few friends, and one of them had too much to drink and had to v*. I sat there with her and watched her throw up, and I was...
I'm only afraid of v*ing myself. It bothers me seeing/hearing other people v* if I know it is due to sv*, because then I feel I will catch it, but other people v*ing due to being drunk, motion...
The panicking, then relaxing, then panicking, makes it sound more like you are having really bad anxiety than a sv* or fp*. If you had either of those, you'd have pretty steady n* going on. Did you...
Oh, man, I'm so jealous of you all! I can deal with other people v*ing relatively well. Seeing it in movies doesn't upset me, going to theme parks, dealing with hungover people, food poisoning, et...
Having a carpooling partner is actually a perfect set up, if you think about it! You have someone else to do the driving if you're ever in need. That would be the person I would confide in about my...
I've had Noro sooooo many times, both in childhood and as an adult. It is HELL, but I've *almost* always gotten through it without v*ing. I'm somewhat embarrassed to share too much about how I get...
Surprisingly, I've never once thought about avoiding alcohol as a result of my emet. Could be because I come from a long line of alcoholics, or maybe the fact that I am generally not disturbed by...
I'm in the same boat, bex. Recently started a new job with great growth opportunities and earning potential, and here I am freaking myself out about the possibility of coming down with sv* at work....
Not to trivialize your fears, but I'm kind of relieved to hear that other people experience this as well! Every so often I will wake up out of nowhere gagging and having a similar feeling as you...
YES! While my ultimate goal is to overcome this ridiculous phobia, I've never been one to turn down a quick fix.
Though, when I actually think about it, brain surgery isn't exactly "quick". Hmmm. ...
Omg, YES! Ugh. It's horrible, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Even my non-emet friends tell me that they often experience horrible n* & d* during that time of the month.
I...
I get sick CONSTANTLY, though sometimes it is hard to know what is an actual virus, and what is just a result of my constant anxiety. I used to get chronic bronchitis about 4x a year, and your...
I didn't even realize we were allowed to type out the actual words! They don't bother me whatsoever; in fact, I find it slightly beneficial to see them, and face any residual fear I might have...
My last experience with severe n* was about two weeks ago. . . I've been going through a stressful time, plus, I think I may have actually had a sv*, because I rarely get THAT n* from anxiety alone. ...
No, I ignore media hysteria.
Plus, the symptoms don't seem to typically include v* or d*, so even on the slight chance that I DID catch it, I still wouldn't be TOO panicked.
I have a horror story involving a county fair, a friend with a weak stomach, and a really, really spinny ride. I think that's all I need to say. . . Ugh!
However, amusement parks don't really...
LOL!!!
I smoke about 5 cigarettes a day, down from a pack a day in the past. I mostly smoke when drinking, or when I'm really bored. It definitely makes me feel n* if I smoke at the wrong time, such as...
I cannot create polls yet, but for example:
I think that the n* associated with sv* is about a million times worse than the n* I get when I am just experiencing an anxiety attack. Not to downplay...
I've always heard it can take 12+ hours for fp* symptoms to present themselves, though that doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you consider the time span it takes your body to digest food. I...
I think the scariest thing for me (and, from what I've heard, many other emets) is the feeling of n*! I've heard that actually v*ing isn't that bad, though from my memories of the last time I did, it...
