    This emet stuff is gettin ridiculous! I'm starting to panic about the slightest thing. Like for lunch today i had a sandwich and a bag of these bacon streak crispy things. Now i keep burping (sorry gross i kno) and i can kinda taste the crisps still, i keep thinking that its cos they arent gettin digested and i might v* if they arent going anywhere? Or does this just happen anyways?


    God ive just read what ive typed and i sound mad! This emet is gettin so bad, i cant even touch a light switch without gettin the urge to go wash my hands afterwards!


    I went bowling the other day and eugh imagine how many dirty fingers have been in htose bowling balls? Yuk, i kept going off to the toilets to wash my hands! I cant even enjoy a day out! Is anyone else getting this extreme obsessive behaviour as emet progresses? I wish i could see a psychiatrist soon, ive been on the waiting list since last november! Guess emetophobis isnt very important?


    I HATE THIS PHOBIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was getting like that too, and I went on anti-depressants, and they helped me. I still worry about hygiene and germs, but it's definately in the back of my mind, instead of the first and only thing I think about.


    I dont' mean that drugs should be the cure-all for everything, but they helped me.


    Hope you're feeling better soon, I know what you're going through and it sucks.

    First
    of all burping up doesnt NOT mean you are going to v. I do that
    all the time and I honestly dont worry because I know it doesnt lead to
    v. Neither does a bit of regurgitation. So try not to worry about that
    the next time it happens. Again you will NOT v from burping!

    Hey guys, thanks for replying.... i felt better after about 4 hours of panic! But ive kinda felt the same today. Ive started taking peppermint oil capsules for ibs and to elp my digestive system but i can tatste mint now all the time, it feels like its gna come bk up??? Does that even make sense? I finally got an appointment to see a psychiatrist on friday!!! Im very very nervous as im not sure what wil happen. Im scared they wont know much about emet and wont really know how to help?


    This feels like my last hope, so everythings riding on this psychiatrist!


    Wish i could stop feeling sick though. im only gettin about 3 hours of sleep a night sob... HELP lol

    I know how you feel, sometime I don't eat for periods of days because I'm so sure that I'm going to vomit if I do so.
