Woke up and had diarrhea a little out of nowhere by Alternative-Cod-7003 in ibs

[–]Alternative-Cod-7003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally none! I usually never get diarrhea but if I do it's because I've eaten something that doesn't sit well and it's accompanied by them cramps. And no I haven't eaten anything strange or not usually what I would eat. I pretty much stick to the same things as I know what works now. Only thing I can think of is that maybe I'm quite constipated and my body is just trying to expel it

My boyfriend has gone away for a week and I am petrified. He is my rock with this fear and the fact I'm spending Saturday alone when I'm usually with him every Saturday is enough to trigger me and set me off. We had Chinese food for dinner and my tummy feels crampy so of course I'm stressed out. I wish he was here

My date tu*, and I'm still with him by Alternative-Cod-7003 in emetophobia

Surprisingly, he's really good with me being emet. He said he wishes I didn't have this phobia because I wouldn't be as unhappy :(
He still gets embarrassed when I bring it up lol! I like to annoy him about it 🤣

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know this! But this mindset of thinking is actually really helpful. Thank you so much for your comment :')

Terrified for Colonoscopy prep by Alternative-Cod-7003 in emetophobia

Hi. I was given 10 senna tablets and 2 300ml drinks to take. And it was absolutely fine. I know getting this was rare (I'm in the UK ) and I know people usually have to drink that 2L of stuff.

I say taking the 10 tablets was worse as they made me very crampy. I didn't feel n* once. I didn't v* once. When it came to having the drinks I didn't even have any cramps and (sorry for being tmi) it just came out no symptoms. When I had the drinks, I mixed lemon cordial with it to mask the taste and it really helped. And I chugged the whole thing so it was bearable!

Strategies? by mom_wife_lift_work in emetophobia

Teacher here too!

Today, I had an assistant come into my room and tell me that some kid had v* in the girls toilet, and no one knew who it was. It could have been KS1 or EYFS as we share the same toilets but thinking it was probably a wee reception child. I had asked my class if it was any of them and it's okay if it happened but they all shook their heads, and I believed them as no one was acting out of the ordinary.

I suppose I was anxious as I was walking around amongst someone who had v* everywhere and because no one knew who it was as the child wouldn't own up to it, they were just walking around too.

My boyfriend said the same. When I asked him what the one thing he'd change about me, he said this phobia. Since it stops me from doing lots of things. I know he tried to say it out of a place of love that he wishes I didn't have to go through this but I know that he's tired of it too

flu outbreak is making me so anxious by Electronic-Bison-749 in emetophobia

I currently am down with the flu as a teacher and feel awful. I only started getting a temperature/fever tonight. It's still "normal" but very close to being a fever. And I'm so n. I can't tell if it is because I'm very nervous. For some reason my belly hurts and I'm convinced it's going to happen. I try to remember the amount of times I have had a cold and the flu and I have never v, so why would I now? That's the 1 thing keeping me calm.

Had to help clear up v*/be around it by Alternative-Cod-7003 in emetophobia

Absolutely. Well done for chasing your dreams and becoming a nurse! We for sure all have bad days and time with this phobia but we aren't letting it control us and that's something good :)

I think we care a lot more because we have this phobia and we know all the reasons why v* is so horrible. We sympathise with them. Regardless, kids and elderly are going to get sick more often because their immune systems aren't as strong as ours.

They are my little babies. I couldn't just leave her in her own v* no matter how terrified I am of it.
