Honestly, I would have said exactly the same thing two years ago. Probably nobody remembers me here but, I was not just some girl who was 'slightly' emetophobic or whatever... it was a serious...

Thanks, just written one... hope it's ok. I don't mean to dis this site at all in it, I was just telling my story :)

Can you imagine saying that?
"I no longer have emetophobia"
Two years ago, I would have said no way could I ever said this.
A year and a half ago... I said it for the first time. I am not...

Ok, well - do you mind if I create another one?



Thanks! Glad you found it inspiring.
Good for you for watching the videos. It is pretty much the point of CBT - you got to do something that...

Yeah, I did - checked through the threads I created and it's not there.

Thanks... did the old threads get deleted then? Cos mine's definitely not there.

honestly, I think this site can 'encourage' your phobia. I try to stay away from panic threads these days cos I know they make me worse. I don't post my own panic threads, I try to prove to myself I...

He says he's probably done it about 500 times over his career, never got sick...

Neither have I!

I've never been surfing.

My brother once ate a tub of profiteroles (cream filled buns) when the cream was bad. He was only like 7 at the time and thought that maybe profiteroles weren't particularly nice tasting anyway haha!...

*drinks* -

I've never ate Thai food

I loooove to travel (unfortunately I'm young & broke so I can't travel much, but I WILL one day...!)
I often worry about food in different places, like, if its OK to eat, will I get ill, etc. I...
