    Hello
    I would like to ask you all something but first
    I would like to share an INSANE story of mine:

    I was going into 7th grade and when I went to register I walked down the 7th grde hall and al of the sundden I felt this crazy feeling like this year I know I'm going to get s*.
    But I shook it off but then a day or so before school would start I was crying and hyperventilating my sister came up to me and
    said,"what? whats wrong?"
    I replied,"I know im going to get sick this year"
    "well....you probably are..so?" (she knew about my phobia though)
    "I just have this feeling its going to be November 13(thursday)"

    So I got over that and went on with my life..

    But then when November 13 came...
    I went over to my friends house(megan) and she gave me this carmel on a stick thing and it was disgusting so I threw it away I already wasn't feeling to well but I was staying for didnner so I had to be polite and eat some of her mom's spaghetti even though I didn't want to.
    So then I went to the bathroom and had d*
    but I just told myself, "okay thats okay some people just get I sometimes"
    So I stayed positive ^.^
    But when I got home I didn't feel good at all I started freaking out
    crying
    hyperventilating
    shaking
    sweating
    then I had this odd feel in my throat like there was a burp
    and so I sat up and tryed to burp but
    uhh
    it wasnt a burp at all..
    I tu* all over my bed and some on my mom (xD)
    then I did it again later that night but I made it to
    the bathroom

    So yeah I just thought that was pretty crazzy
    but the point of this noval-like-post
    was I have had grudges on:
    November
    Thursdays
    Spaghetti
    Carmel

    and listen to my feelings and take them to extreme measures

    And when I was in really bad shape I used to wake up every morning and ask myself, "am I going to get s* today?" and then the first thing that poped in my head I would go on with for the whole day (Thank goodness I don't do that anymore)

    But does anybody do that kind of stuff too?
    or..just me X)

    I always think that like "Today is the day" it just feels like it...but it isn't...I always think I'm gonna be sick sometime soon..and I wasn't for like...6 years...and then I got sick and now I feel like that feeling is back. It's strange. But I know what you mean.

    Also, the reason you got sick on Nov 13th was probably due to you convincing yourself you were gonna get sick.
    Psychology is a nasty thing sometimes haha xD.

    Some people who have phobias of other things like flying...will actually worry so much they get sick.
    So what you did was the same thing, I think...You started hyperventalating and losing control and so you got sick. Cause generally for the most part Stomach viruses and such don't bother you for a whole day...Usually they are like: Oh I don't feel good...-sick- Or with even less warning. Some people are different, but yeah.

    Try not to let yourself think like that

    Also Spaghetti is on my hate list too
    As well as Feb, April, May.

    I do that kind of stuff too.

    Last time I had a sv* was when I was 15...and I had been on the computer all day, sunday afternoon, the windows were open and I could smell the smoke from the grill coming inside. For the longest time all of those things made me really nervous.

    The last time someone in my house got sick was the one night I decided to not keep the light over the oven on. It wasn't "that" kind of sick but I thought for a while that it might happen. I NEVER cut that light out at night now. I feel like it's bad luck and someone might get sick if I do.

    Also, about those weird feelings...I've learned not to ignore them. I had a feeling like that once when my brother was coming to stay the night with me...I just had a bad feeling like I shouldn't let him and I felt like he would be sick. I thought it was just my phobia making me panicky and I ignored it...and I was right. I don't ignore my instincts anymore.

    That is pretty normal for an emet, Nickle. Lots of us have grudges against months and days of weeks and foods (and certain pajamas, and certain colors of pajamas, and certain drinking glasses, and certain colors of drinking glasses, and certain songs that were popular at the time, and certain things that were on TV at the time).

    Do you also have grudges against your friend and her mother?

    You're not alone in the grudges department.

    When I was younger, my dad and I went to the ROM, which is an awesome museum. I'm not sure what happened, but I got sick later that night. Looking back on it, it was probably the hot-dog I ate at the museum, but I still can't go there. Not that it matters, because I'm a few provinces away now.

    I also had a dress I couldn't wear after I got sick the day I wore it, and still can't eat macaroni-and-cheese and pork roasts.

    And grduges against people? Only a couple.

    I never considered them as grudges, but growing up I would stay away from certain foods I had eaten before I v* or clothes I had been wearing when I did, but it never lasted long.

    A few times when I was in grammar school and high school I had dreams that someone at school would v*, and then the next day someone would v*. It was never the person I had dreamed about, but it would happen. I always thought I had a weird premonition about it or something.
    The waiting seems eternity
    a day will dawn of sanity.

    Chinese food and worrying a lot more during the colder months which I think of as v* season. Not quite true in my case though I've been sick in July, August, December January and February. Not quite a grudge though just increased anxiety and I will not touch Chinese food.

    I'm very glad more and more medications are coming out for these things haha. Like fast acting Gravol. <3 Wonderful stuff. It's two gravols in one without the nasty taste and it acts very quickly!

    Haha. But yeah...I'm trying to think of more grudges I have...I hate the time 11:46pm cause I remember I got sick then...

    I can't play a certain video game anymore (Tales of the abyss - for those who are interested) because I got sick the night I played it. It was a good game too!
