I'm slowly winning :D

So far, today's been full of little victories in my struggle to combat emet. I've been back in counselling over the last few weeks and starting to make some progress. Today I was watching scrubs, one of the characters had an sv. Now normally, I'd instantly flick the channel over but this time I though "I'm done running" so watched the whole episode. Point one to me. I've just had lunch with a bag of crisps, normally I'd crunch them up and just shovel them into my mouth to avoid touching them with my fingers. I was just about to crunch them up then I thought "hang on, I'm on a roll today. I'm gonna make this a day of fighting back" so I bit the bullet and used my fingers and ate them normally again. I'm seeing my counsellor at 3 so this should make for some positive progress. I'm still way off from getting a sense of normality but days like this really boost my spirits. Stay strong people

Well done that's soo good I'm thinking counselling maybe a good route for me to try sounds like it's working for you

[Andy1991]

Thanks I'm getting there. Still have other phobias and issues that need sorting but hopefully, I'll pull through

[Charmaine F]

Definitely embrace your progress. You had the courage to take some risks and succeeded at taking some control back!

[Andy1991]

Yeah it's little victories like that which add up to a healthy recovery. Started eating with my hands again, obviously I still have days when I don't but I know I can do it. I've got about a month until my next counselling session so hopefully I'll be ok until then
