Re: Emetophobics and Emetophobics?
My boyfriend struggled with mild emet in his past, but he overcame it. In some ways its nice because he does understand, but in other ways I don't like it. While he still gets kinda panicky if he feels sick, it doesn't control his everyday like it does mine. I sometimes worry he thinks i'm weak because I just can't get over it like he did. He's the most understanding of any guy when it comes to my emet, so I'm thankful for it. He's very clean/washes hands/good hygiene.
I'm not so sure I could date someone who was actively suffering from it though :/ Especially if we had conflicting coping methods. I like to be alone, and what if he liked to be around someone? I couldn't comfort him if he was sick or even felt sick....it just wouldn't work at all. I drive myself crazy enough as it is.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving. We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins. We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything.”
