Brittney, I think you guys have it easier. When you are scared of someone else v... it could happen anywhere, anytime, anyplace. There is no preparing for it sometimes. It could happen in a middle of a bank of all places. It is so random. The panic is immediate and intense.

When the ones that are afraid to v... feel bad, they can take antiemetics and an anti anxiety drug if needed. I guess the feeling of n... can hit you guys suddenly out of the blue too.

Who am I kidding.....emet sucks no matter which type or combo of types you have. Panic attacks suck! Emets that are afraid of v... can not escape their own tummy like someone who is afraid of snakes can avoid snakes. Emets who are afraid of others v... cannot avoid people like the ones that can avoid snakes. Every person on Earth has the potential to v...

I tried to tell myself it was mushed crackers. (I work at a grocery store so crackers could be a possibility.) I watched 2 movies recently with v.. scenes with my eyes and ears uncovered with no panic. I am an emet since birth.
