I would like to be without emetophobia, but at the same time, I don't want to lose it because if I wasn't so afraid, I wouldn't be so careful. Being careful, my OCD, washing my hands, keeping my home immaculate, is all keeping me safe from noro - just like Sparkley said. So as much as I wish I was mentally healthy and could live life as freely as everyone else, I would be at a much higher risk of catching noro. As debilitating as my fear is, it is my protector. Sounds pathetic, doesn't it? I know, but this is who and what I am. I've accepted it.
