I read another thread on here where someone is discussing how they have a difficult time finding friends or significant others with emet. I can not give any advice, but I can share my past experiences, to see if that helps anyone.
I have hands down some of the best friends ever. One in particular. From the moment we met, we just clicked, we get eachother almost on another level that I ever have with any of my other friends. It started off as any friendship, but after time, of hanging out and such, we easily grew into best friends. And once I felt comfortable around her I told her about my emet, anxiety and panic attacks. She was not only understanding but INCREDIBLY supportive. One thing that helps me when i am anxious is gum, and she keeps a pack with her at all times, just in case. Also, she has gotten to know me so well, that she can tell when i am starting to get anxious (usually i sort of twitch or shake) and if she sees it, she just starts to talk with me, trying to keep me distracted.
To be honest, I don't know whey she has been such a good friend to me, but I am thankful beyond belief that I have someone that cares about me so much.
Moving onto significant others, I had had a boyfriend for about 2 years. And I was very reluctant to tell him, for the sheer embaressment and what not. But once I told him, he said that he could tell something would bother me and he was glad he knew. Granted, he didn't help me with it per se, but him knowing, helped the situation. However, now that we are broken up (not everything has been settled, we lived together etc.) he knows its a button, and he pushes it whenever he pleases. WHICH PISSES ME OFF! But anywho, I think the main thing, is to wait to find the good people, who genuinly care about you, and take it at your pace. Being honest always helps, and who knows, you may benefit from having a friend willing to help in whatever way possible.
