when we were kids. story post.

[_ruby]

sometimes i wish i was a little kid again when this didn't bother me at
all. i thought maybe we could share some moments when we were
emet free and how good it was.

when i was little, i was the most outgoing, independant, loud, little girl
you could ever meet. not gonna lie, i was gerber baby food, cute.
i remember being soo young..like a toddler and i was sick. i
remember my dad took me in the shower (don't worry clothes and
everthing) and just held me and rocked me as i v*..i stopped, we got
out of the shower. i went on with my life. that was it.

and in second grade..i remember one of my best friends meghan
said she wasn't feeling good..didn't think it was a big deal, she's a
complainer. then she got sick..she had cheetos.so it was really
gross. but it didn't bother me. it was right next to me, i think i said
that was gross and the kids at my table and i talked about how it
smelled and how it was funny that she got sick? what was wrong with
me.

to be young again..to feel free. i just wish i could wake up one day
and not have this to worry about. like a GIANT weigt has been lifted
off me. to feel like a real teenager..not wanting to have their mom
around everytime they feel naesous. or to be nervous EVERYTIME i
go somehwere that i will feel sick, get sick, someone will feel sick, or
get sick. emet sucks everyone. SUCKS!</font>

Damn right it sucks. I remember eating an entire bag of licorice to myself in the backseat of the car when I was a little kid going on a long road trip and throwing up everywhere - I can still picture my mom frantically sticking a plastic bag in front of my face - but I don't remember feeling scared at all. V* didn't start to really scare me until I was 10 and caught a wicked stomach bug at a birthday party - it's been all downhill from there!

yeah i totally understand. and once in the middle of a stomach
bug..my cousin came up ( i was emet at the time) and i hadn't v* in
a couple days so i wasn't nervous. then we went to the movies to
see the grinch..i ate sooo much candy. i fealt naesous and went to
the bathroom with me cousin..i v* in the toilet. but i was fine after
that. i just left the theatre. and came home laughing to tell my mom
that i got sick at the movies.

i miss being young

Once my sis and I took a package of raw ground beef outside and snuck into our playhouse in the backyard, and ate about half of it!! I have no idea why we did that, and don't recall getting sick from it. Wow, MAJOR pre-emet experience!

[valkyriegrl]

Ewww, whatever would possess you to eat raw ground beef?? Do you remember what it tasted like?

I can vaguely remember what it tasted like, sort of like what cold, rare steak tastes like. it makes me shudder just thinking about it. I don't know why we did it, how weird, huh? Silly kids!!

Yeah I know what you mean. When I was about 4 I got a bug and it was the first time I'd been sick.I was at gran's house and got up in the morning and had a really sore stomach but it didn't worry me so I ate breakfast anyway. 5 minutes later, next thing, it all came up in the kitchen and my gran was running around trying to find something to be sick in! I was laughing while it was happening and as soon as I was done, my stomach felt better and I wanted to eat again! (which was a mistake), I was upset but not really that bothered. It just seems that since I've got older the fear got worse. That was the only time I've been sick (I'm now 24) and I keep thinking my time will be up soon.


But to go back to the days of being young, long summer holidays out playing water fights and amazing Christmases where none of this crap crossed your mind. All you were worried about was your mum shouting you in for bedtime!!!! Those were the days

I've been an emet since I was two. I wish I could remember a time when v'ing didn't bother me. You are all lucky to have some emet free memories! My emet has varied in it's intensity through my life but it has always been there.
