    The day before yesterday, after quite a turbulent relationship my
    boyfriend of about 5 years broke it off with me. Last night i hoped he
    would have changed his mind because i have lost count of the amount of
    times we have 'broke up.' But when i spoke to him however he seemed
    very adament that we would never get back together. It was about 9pm
    and i just rushed downstairs and cried hysterically to my dad who is
    always very comforting at moments like this. I then got a massive
    headache, the worst one i've ever had which i put down to lack of fluids
    throughout the day. I took a paracetomal and tried to calm myself down
    but it was still aching like hell. I had a rich tea biscuit and some orange
    juice because the idea of too much food made me feel awful (i had only
    eaten two bread rolls in the day.) I then started to feel sick so i took an
    anti nausea tablet putting it down to anxiety. After about 20 minutes
    however i stopped feeling sich but started feeling like i needed to wretch.
    So my dad and i went up to the bathroom and i sat on the side of the bath
    and tried to calm down. I think because i was in so much emotional
    torment, this felt like nothing in comparison. After i felt ok i went into my
    bedroom and pretty much straight away thought i was going to be sick so
    my dad got a bucket and sure enough after w* a few times i v* mainly
    bisquit, liquid and stomach acid. We went into the bathroom again cause
    the idea of a bucket makes me feel worse. I wretched about 4 more times
    and for some reason swallowed what was in my mouth! yuck! After that i
    sat still for about 20 minutes and my dad suggested i lay flat on my bed
    to calm down and settle my stomach. Lucky enough this worked and i
    started to feel okay. But i just found it interesting how i havent needed to
    v* in God knows how many years (im 20.) I've managed to not catch
    stomach bugs, not get drunk or get food poisining and it takes
    something like this to make it happen! In a way i'm glad it did because
    although it wasnt a nice experience it was something i was able to control
    by calming myself down and i was able to experience v* in a safe
    environment. Safe to say i will still suffer from anxiety and hate the idea
    of v* but it really wasn't as traumatic as i thought it would be.

    Wow, that was a long post, just thought i would share it with you guys
    and i apologise for any spelling errors!

    Hey there fifi, hope you're feeling better! Glad you got through ok, and I believe what you're saying: that although it wasn't a "great" experience, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Its nice that your Dad was there for you!
