Re: Phobia of d*
I hate diarrhea, and not just because I relate it to vomiting. I honestly wlll know why I have it and know I won't be sick, but still panic. I actually hate pooping period. It causes me awful anxiety and I have no idea why. To most people it's a relief, I feel worse for a good hour after I have BM.
I spent most of my life constipated, and secretly liked it. Now I am regular due to my extra healthy diet, and even my normal BM's freak me out.
I wouldn't say I have a phobia, because it's not nearly as bad as my fear of vomiting, but it causes me almost daily anxiety for sure.
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving. We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins. We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything.”
