Gonna v* I think?

[Superpink]

I was fine most of the day til my husband came home. He told me his tummy wasn't feeling well and almost immediatly i felt sick. I had like an iffy tummy already but the news definitely made it worse.

Now I'm sitting here with the worst n* in the world and I'm terrified I'm going to v*! I think I might actually be sick but I'm really scared he will throw up and then what? Ugh! Im so anxious! I feel horrible. My stomach is grant I'm queasy and I just can't bring myself to do it. Can someone please help me.

I'm sure you're going to be fine. I think you're just feeling anxious! Breathe deeply, and try to relax. Hope you're okay Xx

Aw, you poor thing! Take a tall galss of water, and (not to be rude or anything) maybe tell him you have to go see a friend?? you'll be okay! xoxoxox

[Superpink]

Thanks guys. I tried to get away for a while, but the car ride made it worse. Unfortunatly I'm sick. I started feeling ok so I laid down and tried to sleep. I woke up and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I wish I had help. Someone to talk me thru my N* and help me v* I'm sure I would feel much better at least for a short while. I'm real scared cuzy husband won't call in and I hot a seven month old baby. Can't do sick and baby!?

[KaydeeJayde]

Is there anyone else you can call? A friend or relative who can come and help you out or sit with you for a while, or even to look after baby until you feel a bit better? Do you have IM of some kind? Would having someone on there help? I can PM you my IM adress if you'd like? I'd be happy to talk to you if you'd like. I hope things get better real soon for you! xx

[Superpink]

Not really. We moved here for his job and we have no family or friends here who can help. All we have is each other and it makes me kinda sad. Especially when things like this happen. I would love to have someone to talk with. I just don't think I have the energy for it. I'm feeling more and more crappy as this night goes on!

my husband came home sick on thursday........he went straight to bed.....so not like him.......i felt the panic starting to set in........i did my best to stay calm......worked pretty well i must say......i slept on the couch...he went to work the next morning.....he never did v.....but says he was surprised he didn/t so i'm guessing that since he didn't i really can't catch it......that's my hope that i'm clinging to right now to keep the panic away....

did you husband actually get sick? or just not feel good?

how are you feeling? do you have something to take to calm yourself down? like dramamine? cause if you're like me once you can calm down you will feel better.

hope your day goes ok.........i know it's scarey

[Superpink]

Well yea he got sick he threw up like five times before I headed for the hills, but this time he didn't actually throw up. I'm trying my best to be calm. I have some percocet but that makes me yucky sometimes. I have washed my hands thoroughly and prepared the babys next four bottles which hopefull will last me eight hours from the time he wakes up. I just don't know what to do with him in the meantime. I don't want to get him sick but I'm all alone when my husband leaves for work and I will be useless once I finally v*

What am I to do???!!!!

[KaydeeJayde]

Try to stop talking yourself into v*ing, firstly. You may not v* at all, and if you did, it probably wouldn't be as bad as you thought it would be. You've done the right thing, preparing things for the baby, and you're doing your very best to keep things clean, so it seems that you're well prepared. Is he asleep now? If he's asleep, leave him that way. He'll probably be easier to deal with that way. If he's not, then perhaps that's a good distraction for you. I'm not sure what time it is for you, but maybe you could play with him for a while, give him a bath?

Try to stay calm. :-) I'm sure everythings going to be okay.

[Superpink]

Yea he is sleeping. I am all alone now cuz my husband went to work. I'm not trying to talk myself into it I just think it's gonna happen. I know myself well enough to know when this might not end well. Part of me wants to. So I guess that is talking myself into it but I really want to face this. Just get it over with. It is 6:30 am here. I been up ALL night. I'm a little more calm now I'm just more tired than anything but the pain in my tummy brings me to my knees. It hurts so bad I can't sleep and the n* definitely isn't helping!

[KaydeeJayde]

Are you comfortable taking something that might help your stomach settle, and stop hurting? I think sleep would really help you to feel better. I know I can always see things differently and a little more calmly when I've had enough sleep.

And I'm glad you're looking at the possibility of v*ing with a positive attitude. Just remember, nobody wants to v*, not even non-emets, it's not a pleasant thing, but facing it is the first step towards not being so afraid of it anymore. I wish I could think of my phobia like you're thinking of yours.

[Superpink]

I slept a little. Couldn't stay asleep more than an hour at a time. I took a zofran last might around nine and it didn't really help. As far as the pain it's not that bad and extreme anymore but it's definitely still there. I have a horrid headache and I just feel real crappy. Never v* tho! I still feel like it's possible but hopefully it won't be half as bad as I think. Thanks for all the support through the night guys! I really appreciate it. It's about 2pm now. My husband went to work for like two hours and then came home to take care of me and the baby. I'm still quite queasy I just need to find a place where I'm comfortable so I can face this. I just hate the bathroom.

[beccabubba]

Hey hope your ok now. I agree the bathroom isnt the best place. Kind of always makes me feel like Im there to vomit! And I really dont want to. Last time I got a bug I had to go out as I find it easier to be alone and not near my kids who will really be concerned if they saw the state I get into. (This sounds terrible, sorry everyone) but I went for a drive and parked up and literally had diarhoea and vomited in a bit of woodland. I just cant cope with being near anyone at all.
Hopefully this morning you will feel much better. What great support you had through your time of need.

[Superpink]

I have done that as well. Not the diarrhea part but I have taken a drive knowing it was a good possibility I would vomit. Looking for an open but secluded place to do it. I feel so guilty but until the other night I really didn't want anyone around. I gotta tackle this soon. I really don't want my son to have this phobia. By the way I'm feeling awesome! Not 100% but soooooooo much better than yesterday n the night before! I ate some toast this morning. First food since the sickness and it gave me a little of the girgles. My tummy is a little rumbley but other than that I feel pretty good. Thanks for asking.

[beccabubba]

Im glad its passed. Arent you pleased you got through it and are still here to tell us the tale! Im glad Im not the only one who has gone out with the thought of being sick outdoors. I dont tell many people as to them it sounds so gross. Most people just want to be at home when they are ill and I dont mind being at home but I just dont want my children near me. Perhaps because I feel they will see my fear and pick up on it.

[Superpink]

That's what I'm afraid of. I don't want my son to grow up like me. I'm really happy I made it through the night. I literally cried and broke down and really wanted to kill myself. After all the support I got here I felt like I could try to conquer this.

[elizam]

I go outside too. Lots of us do, in fact. We've talked about it here before. Not uncommon at all. We associate the bathroom with vomiting, so it makes sense that lots of us prefer to avoid it if we're feeling ill.

I'm so glad you're feeling better now. It's awful to be in that state and not have any support. It's one of the reasons I am so thankful for this place.

[beccabubba]

Thanks Eliza, I was beginning to think that was a totally weird thing to do. Sorry I missed all past posts as Ive only just joined!

[Superpink]

Yea that's definitely comforting to know.
