Hi it's me again - I'm not on here as much these days. My life just gets busier and busier, especially now I have to work to pay off my 1st year Uni debts. [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]
It was my 10th anniversary last Friday (2nd July) since I last did the dreadful deed. It really has flown! I remember when I was pleased to have reached my 5th anniversary so 10 years is just a bonus. Touch wood I've only been very nauseous just once in that time (as in being very close to it!)
These days I just don't think about it as much, and I've had a greatly reduced number of feeling sick episodes because of it. It was perhaps being so tense about emet and thinking about it a lot that caused me to feel sick for no reason.
I keep my mind busy with work, my interests, University, and my degree course. I have a positive outlook on life and try and be optimistic.
It doesn't take away that fear. If I come face to face with it I run in the other direction but try not to panic. The best thing is to try and reduce it.
I can notice I've changed because I heard that someone I only saw 2 days ago was up all night being sick last night. Somehow it hasn't worried me. I didn't ask the person who told me about whether it was poisoning/bug etc.
Good luck to all you guys who are trying to overcome this. I can't say I'm totally emet free but I'm vastly improved anyway.
