Doug, I'm so curious about that with you. You seem to have a longer streak than most members on the site, but at the same time you seem to be so level headed in your approach to this phobia.

I...

I would do it.

I don't believe any of you, if it was really and truly asked of you, would actually let anyone die for the sake of not v*ing.

I don't think anyone could do that.

I usually talk to my parents about important stuff when we're eating together, since its the only time we ever sit down in the same room. Or when we're in the car. Maybe you could ask one of them for...

Why does it scare you to imagine not being scared? With other people I guess it might make you worry that they would be less careful about not v*ing, is that the same with you?

I think a lot of the emet was gone already, from the last time I was ill. I think this time was just the last hurdle.

A few weeks ago in my house at uni, 3 of my housemates did have the SV. I...

I've got a Drs appointment for next Tuesday, I'm hoping I can find out what caused the cramps because they killed.

I posted this on the other site, but I thought I'd put it up here as well.

I posted in September to say that I'd drunk far too much at a friend's 18th and v*ed ALOT afterwards. It changed my...

Thanks for your replies everyone, and thanks Sage for spotting your name in the dozens of posts that get started every day :)

All the exposure stuff you just described is exactly what I did after...

I don't know if many of you recognise my name anymore, I haven't spent a lot of time on IES recently, but I've been a member since this new site first started up and I always found it really helpful...

13th September 2008.

Quite possibly one the best thing that ever happened to me.

As for me, I'm English - but Obama ftw :D

Hello anniebea

I think I've recently managed to overcome my emet a great deal. Its still not entirely gone but since I was actually sick a couple of weeks ago it has decreased massively.
...

I do feel so much better getting it "Out of the way" before university. I'm off in 6 days actually! But I feel so much better equipped to deal with other people doing it now as well, because its not...

***Possibly Graphic***

The ridiculous thing is, I have always had such a strong stomach - even when it comes to drinking. You always hear these things from well meaning people who tell you "Never...

BCC, not as good as I hoped but I'm glad to be in :)

Its a university in Bath, but not the university of Bath. Apparently theres a big rivalry between those two.

Yay, well done. I'm off to Bath Spa in September. Its exciiiting :)

Glad you had a good time :)

How are you finding results day?

Hey Kyle

I'm also 18, also from the UK. Yay us :)

We're in the minority here, locality and age wise, so its always good to up the numbers.

I know what you mean about feeling like fearing...

Have a great time Chris :) My friends went to Zante without me because I chickened out, I'm glad you're not as cowardly as I am.

I know what you mean about results too, kill me now!

12 years, I was 6ish last time it happened

Hooray for overcoming so many scary emet moments! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. But you're apparently insane - 4 hour lectures? *shudder*

I eat cheese with mould on it all the time. You know, the kind thats meant to be green. And I'm fine :) Its penicillin, its good for you even.

Maybe all of us who are feeling stronger at dealing with our phobia and are willing to help should list some contact details and where they're from? So people can know who to talk to, and when...

I'm so, so sorry to hear what happened to you. Nobody should have to go through that, and I can understand why you could feel alone.

I'm not in the same situation as you regarding the abuse but...
