Grats… But what was the movie?
thanks, and it was “The Vow”
This still might not mean anything to you but I feel obligated to mention that the emetophobia support forum I pointed out before was by far the best random support-group for a specific health issue that I’ve ever casually stumbled upon. The resources are all there, no guesswork whatsoever.
Well, I’m off to service the dog and then beddy-bye… ‘night all!
As many of you know, i am an emetophobic, meaning i have the irrational fear of vomiting.
Yes; you have the right to be proud of yourself. But…may I ask, what do you think will happen if you should happen to vomit?

thanks :)
and gosh, id just…i dont even know. i havent been sick in over 3 years, last time i did i was surprisingly calm, but every other time before that i would have anxiety after anxiety attack throughout the day. the only reason i was calm last time was because it was 3 am and i was exhausted
So you did vomit once…and you lived to tell…in fact, you were calm…but only because you were too exhausted to be anxious. And on other occasions you had anxiety attacks that came and went all day.
Wow. Okay. I was just curious, as I’ve never really experienced a phobia and just wondered how it felt and what, exactly, you were going through. I’ve had panic attacks, though, so I know all about those. :(
Thanks for answering.
Yeah, your the type of person to be nervous at first but go along smoothly as you start things off, tough in the beginning easier as you go. There really isn’t a easy way to get pass anxiety so credit goes to you, what I mean is it may come back. I don’t want to recommend medicine (as that’s what im on for my anxiety).
Actually the way to fix it is meditation, calm thinking and breathing for twenty minutes a day. That may not permanently cure it either but it will help kneel it down.

Morgan 1 Anxiety 0.
As many of you know, i am an emetophobic, meaning i have the irrational fear of vomiting.
Most of the time, because of this, i avoid going out and actually doing fun things unless i absolutely have to.
The only time i do go out, really is when its for my neices and nephews. other than that, i always find some sort of excuse to stay back. i *cough cough* dont feel well, or have to get caught up on school work (homeschooled) or something of that nature.
Well today, i think i earned the right to be somewhat sort of kind of proud of myself. I have been wanting to go see the vow for a while now, but was very very anxious about going to the movies. the huge screen makes me dizzy, you touch your food with your hands, everything is germy and gross, your trapped in an isle of people and it feels like you cant escape, not to mention, last time i went to the movies i had a bad experience with someone coughing so hard they threw up all over the place.
This may not seem like a big deal to you, but to me it is. I finally just said to heck with my anxiety, and i went out and did it. I swallowed my nervousness, and darnit! i watched the freaking movie. i didnt run away, i didnt leave early, i didnt have an emotional breakdown. no one was sick, im feeling fine. everything went smoothly.
I dont want to have my anxiety run my entire life.
So is this considered progress? I mean sure, i was using germ x like a psychopath and scrubbed the shizniz out of my hands when i got home, but still!
Im proud, dont kill my joy! xD
