I haven't visited this site for a few months, since I'm away at
University and almost always seem to be working on papers and
studying.

Anyway, I read this post and thought I would add my own...

I'm from Canada (Alberta) too, and I just came back from a 5 day road trip with friends. Every time, it cost 75$ to fill up the car, and we had to fill it up about 6 times! At one point it was $1.20...

I chose yes- to socialize. I just graduated from high school and it seems as though drinking is a big part of everyone's lives. throughout high school I drank 1 or 2 times a month, sometimes getting...

Just a random comment- it's like how in Harry Potter how nobody can say Voldemort. I'm such a nerd!

Good topic! I have a yellow lab named Taupe who is hilarious, she just turned 8. This winter when my panic attacks were really bad, my doctor told my parents that maybe they should give in and get me...

I'm 5'7 and 115 pounds, and I have no idea whether or not it has to do with my emetophobia. I tend to overeat a lot, and I think I probably eat more than a lot of my friends, so I think the reason I...

I definately loved this book, in my opinion it was the best one yet. I read it all day after it came out, and finished it that night. Which was annoying because I couldn't talk to anyone about it!...

Right now it's 12:30 in Calgary and I'm sitting in bed, feeling a bit anxious.


Today I went to the Calgary Stampede (a huge fair/carnival/rodeo in Calgary) and although I don't usually worry...

I'm reallysorry to hear about that. I honestly think that it can be prevented from becoming a huge problem later on. What I would do is try to make light of throwing up. Make jokes about it and try...

I can see how that makes sense. In my Dad's frustration he sometimes says this phobia is a "rich person's illness". I suppose he means that people who don't have to work hard have the spare time to...

Well, I guess life has lots of ups and downs. This year I know I've felt like I could be anywhere on the list at certain times. Since it's summer, I think maybe I'll do this poll again at the end of...

I hate to throw this in because it's not exactly on topic, but today I start working in an ice cream store. We don't have Cold Stone in Canada as far as I know. The one I'm starting at is called...

Thanks for the help you two! Hopefully I can go for awhile without another one. It would be really nice not to have to deal with this at University in the fall! I know the feeling of being trapped...

I'm very sorry to hear that... it sounds really terrible. Hang in there, I hope everything turns out as well as it can.

Well, last night I had my first panic attack in over a month. I wasn't feeling well before bed, and it was most likely just my nerves, and it didn't help that I had had sushi for dinner because it...

Are you feeling better now? (I don't know what tie you posted because my clock and this clock don't correspond). If you're still having trouble try making some toast and eating it no matter how you...

I'm in the same boat... I'm in Calgary and I'm flying to Victoria ina few weeks for University. I fly a few times a year, and every time, I'm really nervous in the weeks before the flight. I panic on...

I'm SO glad- the results are much better than I expected! Everyone, keep on living your life to the fullest!

I'm just wondering how happy everyone is because I know that when my phobia was at it's worst, I was VERY depressed. Now things are looking up and I'd say I'm at about an 8.

GOOD JOB! Go buy yourself a piece of chocolate ora ferrari- accomplisments like that are awesome!

You're going to have such an awesome time! I would NEVER skydive because I'm afraid of heights but I admire you so much. Make sure you release the parachute haha!

I'm MUCH more afraid of myself throwing up than other people throwing up, carri. I think it's because of how much I've been faced with other people throwing up throughout high school. So lately I...

Yeah I definately was a bit more stressed out than normal when he said it was from food poisoning, which happens to be what I consider the worst kind of throwing up. He was driving around the whole...

I just posted on sparky's thread on the catastrophic thinking pattern about a book that's helped a lot in dealing with the phobia.


Everyone go buy a copy of Freedom From Fear by Dr. Howard...

Good post, Sparky- I agree that the more you know, the better, and so I've read a bunch of books as well. A great one is called Freedom from Fear by Howard Liebgold. It talks all about the...
