I've been like this before. You can't really rush yourself into going and getting out....but I stopped being afraid after going out to eat with a friend of mine and my mom. That friend is so mind...

I actually remember a time not being afraid of this. It was before I started school. I became an emet after I watched the movie "The Abyss". There was the scene where he was inhaling the fluid so he...

I know. It's sad, disgusting and hilarious all at the same time. I'm actually glad you got a giggle out of it. I try to make a lot of stupid jokes about my phobia. It makes me feel SOOOOOO MUCH...

=) One of my resolutions is to kick this thing. I'm making a mad dash back to my psychologist and we are going to start EMDR post haste. Possibly even start exposure therapy.

Shouldn't take long...

In my experience after stopping bcp for whatever reason, I don't get a period for a while. I mean like a couple of months. Sometimes longer. That was normal for me before I started taking them,...

GOD I know about the FB thing. I went to a New Years party at my boyfriend's house friday and YESTERDAY one of his friends pipes in on FB "Oh by the way I got a sv, so yeah everyone who was there is...

I haven't been here in a long time for a myriad of reasons, but I felt the need to share something.

I just got back from the world's worst 3 day vacation to Vegas last thursday. I had a massive...

Well I didn't know that at the time. Sorry for wasting everybody's time.

It was just a thought. I *DID* have debilitating, serious anxiety. Like I said, I was having panic attacks day in and day out, not eating, not sleeping. It did a LOT for me the first time I listened...

Has anybody else given this a go? I'm just curious because I haven't read about anyone trying it on here. If no one has, I shall share my experience with it.

First off, the CD is pretty...

After reading this thread a couple times I've started to wonder if emetophobia and emetophilia are in any way related. It would make a certain amount of sense. As emetophobes, we are absolutely...

I've noticed over the last year or so that MOST of my n* issues come from gas. If your stomach feels huge and uncomfortable, that's probably what it is. I don't like burping much either when I feel...

Doritos. I ate a whole bag when I was 8 or so annnnnd yeah, the rest is history. I think now it was because I had basically had NOTHING to drink all day. I was emet by then, too. I was like "this...

Sage - Thank you =) I read your success story over a year ago looking up info for treatments, and it inspired me to start cracking, so thank you for that! I was surprised to re-read it here when I...

I haven't had a sv for 15 years and I'm O type blood. My dad is AB- so maybe that has something to do with it? Who knows? Some people's immune systems are better than others.

This germophobic...

I'll do a copy/paste job for you whilst omitting the gory details.

Virus Transmission

Noroviruses are transmitted primarily through the fecal-oral route, either by consumption of fecally...

I doubt it. Check the CDC disease sheet for norovirus. It says it's primarily transmitted through the (ugh) fecal/oral route. (someone doesn't wash their hands after they poo and you touch something...

Guhhh I know how you feel with the emergency room...I had to take a friend there a couple years ago because he had a massive fever associated with tonsillitis. That was fine, oh yeah okay...

You can order them off of the internet, (which is honestly probably cheaper) but I usually go to a place that sells lots of vitamins. They usually have them there close to the St. John's Wort and...

I always buy ginger altoids when I see them because I like how they taste too. I pop them like candy. I never thought about using them for tummy upset before, but I might get some to have on hand in...

I try to just avoid the sick person when they have a cold, but it's hard when I know it's just a cold and not an sv and I really like the person. Lol. Mom told me not to be afraid and that she thinks...

Lol I do this too. I eat so much that I practically have to waddle back to bed and lie down before I feel like doing anything. Sometimes it freaks me out, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on how much...

I have joined an emetophobia community in the past when I was in the middle of the throes of the worst my phobia had ever been. I posted there for about a week, freaked out because I was afraid of...
