I am so grateful for this site because it is comforting to know I am not alone in this phobia. I used to think I was SO weird for being afraid of v*, but I've learned that so many people suffer from the same debilitating fear as me. However, after browsing the forums I have found areas where I seem to be more of a "mild" emet.
Don't get me wrong, if I feel n* I will be shaking and crying hysterically. During SV season I am constantly on edge. But I realized I don't take that many precautions.
Of course I wash my hands after using the restroom, I shower daily and practice good hygiene. I wash my hands before eating when I remember. But when it comes to other things, I'm not very careful. I touch my face A LOT. I eat out, I let other people prepare my food, I drink from time to time. Part of me is happy that I'm not super uptight about everything, but at the same time I wonder if I could better protect myself if I took more of these precautions.
I'm more of the type of person that just isolates myself when I become super anxious.
What about you guys? What are you super anal about? And what are you more relaxed about?
