Hi, I'm Jamie, I'm from Bradford, England. I just stumbled upon this site and thought I could do with registering. My phobia I think started when I was about 13. Mw and my sister were at a fun sleepover at our friends house, there were 2 other kids our age who we'd know e were babies. We'd had a fab day but during the night I was sick on my pyjama bottoms, there was no sick anywhere else and I shoved my pjs in a bag and put some other pants on. I was sick again and woke everyone else up. i V'd another 5 times projectile soiling bedsheets and carpets and everything, they knew I couldn't help it but it was traumatic all the same. I get worried if I could have been exposed to viruses and take overcautious precautions to stop me from getting it. for example, some friends usually take me home every monday from a group i go to, one week only one friend comes and she says her husband has been v'ing all day. I start to worry and wash my hands as soon as I get out the car. i buy motillium over the counter 'just in case' i get it. people have been posting on facebook about their stomach bugs and its making me nervous that its going around again. i go to slimming world and a few people from there have had it in the last few days so I'll be anxious about going on monday but I WILL GO. I feel very lucky that my emet doesn't control everything I do. i live a very normal life unlike a number of emet people that i have read about, i use public transport, public toilets and eat at restaurants with zero problem.
