Thank you Sage!
I guess my therapy is paying off, because not only was I able to look at all of the levels without anxiety, I am also finished with ratemyvomit.com! I am almost ready for some motion (yuck!)
I'm with you Sage, it took me about 8 months of therapy to even believe I could be helped, but slowly, I'm moving along!
An info about movies and sounds (my worst fear) would be much appreciated.

The best movie for sounds is the very realistic sounds on the opening scene of Monster's Ball (not to be confused with Monsters Inc...lol)
It's RIGHT at the opening, though, so you have to be quick on the volume control. I would suggest that you turn the sound REALLY low the first time you listen to it. Then slowly turn up the volume. Listen to it a zillion times until it doesn't bother you anymore.
(I've heard, btw, that the sounds on this movie are real...athough they're not made by Billy Bob Thornton.) Later in the same movie there's a scene where his character's son vomits. He's a prison guard escorting a prisoner on death row to the death chamber. It's not bad to watch cuz it's seen through the "eyes" of the surveillance camera...in black and white.
If you can look at those nasty pictures then this movie shouldn't bother you much. Good luck with the sounds!
