    Default Today I'm kicking it's ass!!

    Today I've eaten food from a resturant AND I've eaten meat (Im a 'vegetarian', but just because of my fear of e.coli and things like that). Today I am kicking emetophobias ass! You should to!

    This is NOT going to have control over my life. This is NOT who I am as a person. This cannot control me, not today!! I'm having a good-moment right now, just wanted to share it with you guys! Feeling strong for the first time in YEARS!

    Hugs!

    WOW! That sounds like such AN AMAZING DAY and you are still here to tell the tale! *massive hugs* I too managed to go to College earlier on today, which I had avoided all last week! Plus you too the bus, which so many people go on every single day! I don't think I could manage that, I think I am going to re-think it, I mean you survived a bus ride, so I can survive a bus ride! WOAH you are such an inspiration, I cannot praise you enough! x

    Yeah the bus-part was the biggest thing for me. I don't know why but it's just the feeling of being stuck there, at school I can at least leave, you know? I really think you should reconsider taking the bus. The feeling I have now is totally worth it. I didn't even panic on the bus. I was a little bit "shaky" but I never got fully on panicky. I am, ofc, a little bit nervous right now, but I am also so proud of myself for surviving it! My mother was supposed to pick me up but I called her saying I was thinking about taking the bus, and she almost cried cause she was so happy for me. That gave me the extra boost to go on the bus, together with my twin sister who goes to the same school as me.

    It's great that you went to College!! That is quite the accomplishment as well! Everything you do that scares you just a little bit, challenge yourself, is a step in the right direction. You should take that good experience with you in your life. You survived, you didn't get sick, and you can ABSOLUTELY do it again!

    Thank you so much for kind words, you made my day even better!

    I really will consider taking the bus, i've wanted to go out shopping for such a long time and the best way to get their is by bus but obviously because of my emet, it's hard and my mum won't drive their as its so busy! So I think I will try going this week Thats so weird, I have a twin sister too (: Thank You so much, Im glad you liked my kind words, it was just so refreshing to see such an upbeat and positive post on here Really made me smile! I am gonna really try and go into College again tomorrow and reward myself with a day off on Wednesday, as wednesdays are my free days off college!

    It just shows that if we really try, we can conquer our biggest fears! It also shows that we have let emet rule our lives for so long that it is time to fight back! KA-POW! X

    Yeah, its great to even be considering it, I think. A while ago the very THOUGHT of the bus freaked me out. Im still amazed that I actually sat on a bus for 40 min from my school to my house today. If I can do it so can you! And i promise, this feeling is great!

    Ah, twin sisters are the best. She is the most important person in the world to me, I love her so much! There is no support like twin-support! Haha.

    I know right! I mean I cant even remember the last time I went on the bus, I prefer trains! As long as I am with my anti bac, I feel a little more safer! Check your mail sweetie, I've mailed you back x

    Your totally right, twins are awesome! x

    Yeah, like I'll make a decision to kick emet's butt and then the anxiety kicks in and ends up making me feel "n*" and I have a panic attack. How are you overcoming the anxiety due to emet?
