i was 6 and i remember being terrified, even then. i tried so hard not to,
but my mom was able to soothe me and bring me to the bathroom and i
let it happen. (i do remember thinking as it happened, "wow this really
isn't bad at all, the n* is so much worse"... yet i still won't let it happen
now). it had to have been an sv*.Edited by: prncesspnk

I will be 45 next month and my last experience was in 1980, when I was in my first year at college and drank too much. I survived 4 pregnancies without "giving in." My main issue now is being around my kids when they are ill.

33 years! I was 19 when it happened and am 52 now for perspective. Even now though my emet does not affect my life in any way (except when others are ill or I feel vaguely queasy), I will avoid doing it like the plague.

[harmonygirl72]

Almost 24 years!

[hippychick]

I honestly don't know when it was. It was when my cat was a kitten so maybe 12 years? But I honestly don't know. I could never be one of those emets who remembers the day/hour/what I was wearing haha my memory is too rubbish for that.

It was almost 2 years ago. It was my best friend's birthday and I forgot her because I had come home not feeling good from a function. I spent the afternoon in bed, but then later that night I remembered her and felt even worse!

[knitter]

I"m 46 now, was 14 when I v*. So, 32 years. Knock on wood. My son v* yesterday morning, so I'm in crisis right now.

[katykins]

1993 was my last time,i had severe anxiety/depression and that is when i admitted myself into a mental health hospital.

[quietdaze]

I can't even remember and I'm 37. Generally if I nauseous, I go to sleep immediately. It's very weird. At least that's what my friends and family say.I'm sure it's just a stress/anxiety response.

i was 14
and i ofcourse remember it like it was yesterday.
it was 3 days after christmas and i remember just waking up..and going right for the bathroom, i didnt pause or anything, didnt say anything , stop to get my mom or anything...it was like my body was making me go. after i couldnt believe what had just happend i was in shock i went crying to my mom, waking her up.
that day i was sick 3 more times...i remember by the end of the day it felt like i had just done a crap load of sit ups, i was to scared to sleep or anything, i wouldnt eat for about 2 days after...i even remember gagging and only acid came up because my tummy was so empty.
i would and will do anything to not get sick every again...but i know i will, know matter how hard i try.

[nightowl720]

Same with me.........I was 14 and it was a couple of days after Christmas. I heard my brother getting sick in the night and then I woke up and got sick. Now I am 51 and went through 2 pregnecies and have had the sv several times but haven't done the deed. It throws me into a panic.
It was soooo much worse when my kids were little and got sick I freaked and my husband had to deal with them.

[vicki5011]

10 years this christmas for me, i had been taking antibiotics wrong and made me sick,

[cupcake]

Two years ago... :/ Too soon for my taste. ^^;

[grgygrl]

Its been 19 alomost 20 years for me. I have had sv many times but have never v*, came pretty darn close though. My kids still get sv every now and then and i freak out for about 2 or 3 weeks after. I also wipe my entire house down with bleach so noone else gets it but someone usually does. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

[kejelj]

August 17, 1965, the day before my 12th birthday. Almost 44 years ago.

[cashcarstar]

Only 2 months ago for me!!!

And now because of that I have stopped eating and will probably have to go to hospital.

[wallflower]

Nearly two years ago. Never eating at peoples' houses just out of politeness ever again. Especially Italian foods and ice cream.

[kiwi607]

Just about a year...it wasn't that bad, and I thought I was cured, but after I started feeling better the phobia came right back...it didn't help b/c I never felt s* or n* at all! I got up to pee and then I was getting s* for like 7 hours! It was so weird! So in all actuality it made my phobia worse b/c I never felt s* and now I keep thinking that every little noise in my stomach is bad....

[oana1979]

It's been almost 14 years. I was 15 and now I'm almost 29. It happened because of general anesthesia (which I will never have again unless I'm dying or something).

[jkl81]

Only about 8 months ago, and just once. I thought I had it beat but it got me in the end. Before that it was almost 11 years. It has shaken me up, but I'm trying to do better.

[nickle]

ehh i v* last year
dont exactly remeber the day but i know it was in
april :'(
but only once!
whoo hoo! ^o^

[x hannah x]

12 years, I was 6ish last time it happened

[socitycourty]

The last time was about 8-9 years ago. I had eaten a frozen pizza that made me really s*. I woke up in the middle of the night, totally freaking out. I had to go get my mom because I wasn't even sure what to do.
I don't really remember too much of the actual v*ing or anything...I guess maybe I blocked it out. It was scary due to the fact that I was asleep. Otherwise I may not have ended up with this phobia at all.
