your hints and tips!

[Laura-Lou]

Hi guys, I'm new to this so Hiya all
Ive been an Emet sufferer now for almost 8 years. Thats pretty much all of my teen life, over these years ive found many everyday things that help me when I can feel myself beginning to panic. Try playing a game on your cell phone to take your mind off it, That normally helps me until i can get home. I take multi-vitamins everyday for my own personal peace of mind knowing that im helping my bodys immune system in some way.
Carrying hand sanitizer always helps, I use it before every meal, before I drive, after the toilet or even touching another persons hands.

Just wanna know do you's have any more hints and tips for your own peace of mind to help with the panicing.

Hi! My tips are also the hand sanitiser (a specific one for noro, don't care about colds and flu lol) playing on my DS, peppermint essential oil, sucking Smints, carrying anti-emetics (just carrying them is enough reassurance i very very rarely ever have one) always have a drink on me, good hand hygiene and deep slow breathing, oh and if i'm out somewhere telling myself i can leave if i still feel iffy in say 15 minutes and keep repeating until i feel better, by doing that i've only legged it from work once in a panic in years.

Funnlly enough though the reason i'm on here in the middle of the night is because i woke up boiling hot with a pain in my actual stomach area and feelng really really sick i was convinced it was definitely about to happen so i actually did take an anti-emetic and started sniffing peppermint oil like mad, then came downstairs and got myself on the settee and tried turning the laptop on but it must have hibernated or something so i got in a right old panic banging buttons (woke my OH up, woops) until 20 minutes later it came on..in the meantime i also got peppermint oil in my eye which stings like mad and after all that, guess what? still got a pain but don't feel sick.....distraction really is the No1 "cure" ever for panic i think!!

too funny, paula.....but i'm the same way.......distractions distractions distraction.....sometimes as simple as combing my hair....putting it in a ponytail....taking it down....putting it back up.....whatever it takes....
