If you really don't want to go under, another option is requesting an epidural. When I have my upcoming kneesurgery, that's what I'm having - trouble is, you're awake for it!

It sucks getting into an accident, but sooner or later it will happen to most people one way or another. Don't dwell on it - what happened has happened, and no amount of What If's will make it go...

The thing with doing the deed - as horrible as it is for most of us to even imagine it, it would make us feel so much better!


And, realistically, it's not that bad - I last did it about a year...

There is a great book called "Conquering Panic and Anxiety Disorder" by Jenna Glazer and Dr. Paul Foxman. Various people contributed to it, and I'm the 3rd chapter :D ;)


It's not a bad book, but...

Have you talked to your boss? Is there any way you can take a week off - even without pay?

Last year, I'd gone into work one morning just to pick my paycheck up - it was around 9am. The only other person in the office that day was our receptionist.


As I'm goofing around on the...

Heh,


I'm a therapists dream! My dad left when I was a baby, my stepfather abused me for several years and when I was 18 I was gang raped. And I wonder why I'm emet? LOL!

Maybe it's your subconcious mind telling you that vomit is okay? You KNOW it's not going to kill you or whatever, and dreams are a way of bringing forth what your subconcious is trying to tell you.

About a year ago, my (emet) friends kid had strep throat, fortunately Chan and I were out at the time for happy hour, but his daddy picked him up and the little mite puked all over...

I remember last year on Halloween my boyfriend, his sister and her husband all went to a theme park that does Haunted halloween nights. Well, we went into this one haunted maze and it was a "lunatic...

Honey, you'll be fine smileys/smilies_01.gif


I just went out for dinner and ate eggs. I'm allergic to eggs and they always give me severe trots, but I HAD to have them. I'm sat here now waiting...

Chan was a member of the old forums, and she'd just moved to California with her husband when she joined. Turned out we lived 10 minutes away from each other. We've been best friends ever since!

I can see it fine, Jenneh.


Sage, what software are you trying to open it with?

In my opinion, my phobia is a control issue caused by the sexual abuse and rape I suffered as a kid/teenager. I couldn't get help for the abuse, nobody would believe me - they do now after he abused...

Cos I live in California. Are you confused yet? smileys/smilies_04.gif

They're red x'ing Hannah!

Hanna, I'm a big Betty Boop fan!

Kristina, why in the hell is he drinking beer if he doesn't like it??????????????????????????????????

I think that as you get older, you have more things going on in your life and the emet just doesn't seem as important anymore. That's how I feel now. Don't get me wrong, I'm still afraid to get sick...
