I would also like to add that as long as u have had some food before drinking, then the alcohol will take longer to pass through ur system and therefore u wont have the sudden dizzy/nausea inducing...

Hiya curly wurly,


I dont have children so I cant give u any "tried and tested" advice, but i think that reassuring ur daughter that being ill isnt something to be scared of and ensuring that she...

Hiya!


The card that ur mum gave u sounds lovely - its always nice to receive something like that to reassure u that uv got support there whenever u need it! She sounds like a star to me!


As...

Hey Charlene,


I just wanted to say that ur post touched me so much. U r such a wonderfully brave woman and u should be proud of how fantastic u r. I cannot even begin to imagine how I would be...

I danced for 15 years and gave up just before uni because i wouldnt be able to afford it! I do miss it alot, and definately will start again when I finish! I done Latin American which was great...

Yeah well I dunno about everyone else but it doesnt even cross my mind when i kiss my boyfriend. I love it and would quite happily "risk" that every single day than give in to this phobia because of...

Im from Suffolk! But am at University in Essex!

Thank u all for ur replies! I am so silly! Like someone said, things are definately much more scary in the middle of the night, it was obvious i had jus laid on it funny but u dont think logically...

Hiya everyone,


I hope u r all well i havent been to the site in a long while. This is very off topic but it is causing me alot of anxiety and scares me alot. For the past year on and off I have...

I couldnt have said it better myself. Truly wonderful advice.

Erm, well. I'v not managed to get rid of this phobia. But i certainly do not face it every single day. I cant remember the last time I had a panic attack and when I feel a bit sick, i jus kinda shrug...

I can sort of relate...


Even though the last thing id want is for myself to get sick, when someone in my family, or my friends say they feel sick, I sometimes feel like I'd rather i was the one...

Hmm, I dont wana spark up debate again, but iv practically cured myself without going to a psychologist or therapist. I done it solely on positive thinking and pushing myself to do things. Obviously...

Shiva, I agree completely - I really couldnt have said it better myself.

I believe that u cant really get over this phobia or perhaps deal more with it, until u r ready. Some people I have spoken...

I love this message. Its what I have been saying to another IES member for a long while now.


Yes, this phobia is difficult to deal with but y accept it? Why let it drag u down and stop u doing...

Hiya,

I'm 17 - will be 18 in June and have had this phobia since I was about 5. Its only been severe for maybe 7 months of my life which prevented me from attending school but now its very mild...

Hiya,


Be confident! Make sure u let the dentist know that u r scared and they will do everything they can to make u feel more comfortable.


I had to have a mould of my mouth done after my...

Hiya,


Please dont think that u r alone with this - many emets have the same fear of waking up during the night feeling ill.


It is a scary thought yes, but u need to praise urself for...

Yes that can definately happen. I often used to get myself into such a state that I would feel extremely sick afterwards. Crying hard can also cause me to get headaches and feel extremely lethargic....
