am I the only one who does this?

[SimplyMe]

Do you guys get freaked (emet freaked) even over things that have nothing to do w/ emet? Example: I was a little lightheaded this morning and then just now (evening) I had thought about it, took a shower and had it a bit too hot I think and got a little lightheaded. I got a little panicky and I am having company this weekend so as I'm thinking and thinking I'm going into "God I hope I'm OK when company is here" but I was thinking stomach OK. Which is dumb cuz I'm actually really hungry right now and one had nothing to do w/ the other. I've noticed that tho, I will feel anxiety or even uneasiness, over tired, lightheaded etc, not even sick feeling but still get emet anxious. How dumb am I?

I think a lot of us get that way. We get a cold, and think: 'will the sinus drainage make me n*?' Or we break a bone, and are more worried about v* from the pain than the actual broken bone.

yep. every illness or injury i sustain i focus in on v*. like ... my fever
is really high, will that make me v*? my head hurts ... does that
mean i'm going to v*? totally irrational sometimes. : ) it's never
about the pain, always about the potential v*

Yes, I do that too all the time - just like Daffodil and Krebstar have said - If I get a sore head or get a cold - I always think - I'll be okay as long as I don't v*. When I had kindey stones, the pain was bad, but the most important thing was not to v*!Sometimes, when I am feeling really n* I think (or hope) that it is my heart or some other more serious condition that is making me feel ill and not an sv*.
