Hi everyone, I've been visiting this site every week since I found it, and just became a member, but I was curious about a few things.

I've been phobic since I can remember, but it's only in the past 4 or 5 years that it started getting really bad and I actually acknowledged it as a constant phobia, and found out the name of it.

In my researching of it, and reading posts on here, I'm starting to realize possibly how far-reaching my emet has influenced my lifestyle and habits, in things that I never really would have thought that it could affect.

So I'm wondering what kinds of habits you have, or random things you avoid because of emet. I can understand that I avoid things that I ate before being sick, because regular people do that as well, but I tend to avoid brushing my teeth, since I was little, but couldn't really put my finger on why I avoided it. I also have some weird food habits that I wonder whether are common, I never eat until I'm full, and I'm extremely picky about eating, and the foods I tend to like are all very bland.

Anyways, I'm just curious to see what other kinds of things are common amongst emets
