Yes, that post was very helpful. It kind of just reminds you that you don't have to be this way but you have to be strong enough to make a change or else it will never get better. It takes effort....

Honestly. This was so refreshing to hear. Especially from someone who has the phobia and not just a "normal" person who doesn't quite understand what we go through. This gave me hope honestly, and it...

Okay, I am just losing it here. It's winter...I'm sure I write a post like this every year, but I don't know how I even make it through the winter each year. Over the past week or so, I have heard...

So right now it's about 5:30AM early Monday morning. I've been wide awake since 4AM, I woke up out of a dead sleep and immediately went into anxiety when I woke up and now I feel really uneasy,...

I think maybe if I did end up having it and I felt n* that hopefully I would be able to not v* since usually emetophobic people are usually able to control some of that more than non-emetophobic's. I...

Hi all, I'm having a rough week :(

Happy holidays to everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving and didn't feel too stressed out.
I am, unfortunately, extremely stressed right now....

Wow thank you all so much for your replies! I think the bad thing about this for me, is now that I know that watery mouth is a symptom before you get sick, I will actually think my mouth is watering...

Okay! I have been posting here a lot lately. And maybe this question has been asked in the past, but this has been on my mind a lot lately...

1. I think one of the main reasons why I have such...

I am at my breaking point right now. I feel so discouraged. I try to have a good "non emet" day, I try to go out and do things that I would otherwise enjoy, but it somehow always ends up with n* or...

Well I guess the good news is I had a doctors appointment today and I talked a little bit about my phobia and how much it is affecting my life. I told her I was not eating enough because I don't have...

This is just a long spiraling thing, but I honestly don't even know how I'm still sane after these past few weeks. It's been like a never ending cycle of constant worry and fear and overthinking and...

I honestly don't feel like I can do this anymore. I avoid everything I possibly can at all costs. I wash my hands like a crazy person, I never eat without washing my hands, I don't touch my eyes,...

@StormChaser32 feeling horrible today. every time I eat, shortly after i feel completely horrible. i've barely eaten anything today because whenever I do, I feel nauseous and disgusting. I'm starting...

But some days I won't even feel anxious or I won't be worried about being sick at all, and I somehow still end up feeling like death later on, or at some point during the day.. And even when I try to...

I am getting to the point with my phobia right now, where I feel like it is ultimately ruining my life. I feel sick every single day. And I'm not exaggerating. My stomach is constantly upset, or I...

You can't catch the norovirus from breathing the same air as an infected person. You have to somehow get fecal matter (v or d) in your mouth for it to be swallowed and enter into your intestines...

Well the night before it started I had tacos at my boyfriends house for dinner and I felt fine then, but everyone else who ate it was fine, and so I don't really think it was that. And other people...

So yesterday I woke up early around 730 in the morning with a horrible stomach ache, a lot of gas, and nausea. I had a busy day and figured it was just my anxiety but it never went away the whole...

And yeah, I ended up being fine. No v or d or anything just a stomach ache. Although I woke up today and felt sick right from the time I woke up. Which is always a horrible way to wake up. And I was...

Isn't it just ridiculous? Like we worry ourselves completely sick when we otherwise would've felt fine if we just stopped worrying about it. It's a vicious cycle :(

Oh trust me. I know, Michigan is a horrible place to live during this season. I know it goes around, it's literally a living nightmare for me, it's just so stressful and hard and I am constantly on...

Okay, so I'm just going to say that I went out to eat at around 3:00pm today, and I had BBQ chicken wings in a wrap, I ate at BWW (Buffalo Wild Wings). It's the one by my house that we always go too,...

I would just like to update anyone who commented on this thread! It's been about 6 months now and we are still together. He knows all about my phobia, and although I know it can be a struggle at...

I realized that I hadn't replied to any of these comments. We have some funny people on this forum, it gave me a good laugh. I just thought I would let you all know that I did enjoy the cruise,...

I went to bed at around 11:30pm. I just had my first day of work yesterday, it was an 8 hour shift and I was really exhausted and tired from it. I sort of felt crappy yesterday but ate dinner...
