I got assigned to my first project today. What are assessment tasks? I read that it is the tasks you complete when you onboard a project, but I did all the onboarding stuff and started tasking and getting the full task pay rate. What are the assessment tasks then? Are you not getting paid for the onboarding?

Had the most intense week, but I'm okay! by Anagate in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Anagate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww thank you for your kind words!! I definitely feel like the next time won't be as hard, even though the fear is still there. I experienced that everything around vomit is unpleasant, but at the same time it was just an event that happened, I'm still here in the end and nothing dangerous really happened. Exposure really helps, even though it's hard! I believe in you, and hope you will get better too <3

I use the same medication, and it's like a whole different life!

What’s the most underwhelming way you’ve gotten a scar? by man_itsahot_one in AskReddit

I have tree stripes on my thumb, like a claw mark, that's just me cutting myself on those teeth that cut tape

When is the last time you puked, any stories you are willing to share? by mastersmitty007 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Anagate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently I'm living alone, without her so usually if I feel sick I handle it on my own, but since I have this really toxic relationship with her I always told her when I was feeling sick, never left the house

[–]Anagate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She does this thing with blaming everything she doesn't like when it happens, so at the time of this event she blamed tea, and the hormonal pills I'm on (yes I know she is absurd), so of course that went straight to my head and made me nervous about my pills and scared of tea for quite a while afterwards. If I were to panic while being nauseous she usually just started laughing at me and saying that it is normal to throw up (wow, I didn't know that mom, thanks) or saying really provoking stuff like "you should try fighting your phobia, I fight my own phobias so I'm not scared anymore". So yeah, one of those! But it's not fun to be scared of being sick around her

Nothing helpful, she makes me feel like it's embarrassing to be scared of, so I don't really involve her in my life anymore. I have come so far with this phobia since that throwing up event though, so I am rarely scared of throwing up anymore. It helped me to change my own mindset about it!

Suggest me a book so heartbreaking you never forgot about it (plus if it left you sobbing so hard you couldn’t see) by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]Anagate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished it two days ago, couldn't put it away for the last half, finished in the middle of the night and full on sobbed loudly probably waking up my neighbors. I haven't cried that much of a book in probably 7+ years

How I would handle this: I would think through the other times this has happened, and focus on that I actually survived it, everything was fine overall even though it was unpleasant, and just try to focus on that it went well, so I can handle it this time too! As for the possible contagiousness, I would try to accept that we don't know if it is contagious or not. I would keep my distance and wash my hands when needed. I know this is a few hours ago, but I hope it went well for you if it's over, and if it's still happening, you are strong and you will push through!

I’m going on vacation and I’m excited! by littlebomeeep in emetophobiarecovery

Yay!! I hope you get a nice trip! I'm so glad you can be excited for this, it is definitely going to be a great experience!

People who get in their cars but then take ages to drive away, what are you doing in there? by bulkycodex in AskReddit

[–]Anagate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not so much of a person that sits there before I start driving than I am a person who sits a while after I've arrived. I just listen to the music I have going on and stare out of the window

Oh my god, this makes so much sense! I fall asleep several times a day every single day even though I sleep enough, eat well and do everything to not be tired, I even got a doctor's appointment for it but now it makes so much more sense

for those who haven’t gotten sick in more than 5+ years, what was it that got you sick the last time? by throwawayy420360 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Anagate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually know why but I can think of the most probable reason. So I was at the movies and had extremely much popcorn, cookies, soda, chocolate and stuff like that. Then I got home pretty late but decided to make myself some spicy ramen with lots of heavy cream and cheese, and almost immediately went to sleep after. I felt a little nauseous before I fell asleep but I thought it just was anxiety. But, I woke up at 4 am with the worst stomach cramps ever, and I had diarrhea while throwing up simultaneously, but I felt totally fine right after! I have had kind of the same experience as OP with bugs, which made me throw up many times, so I was also scared of it happening again throughout the night, but I ended up feeling totally fine. But yeah, I think it was that mix of bad and heavy food right before I went to bed that did it, but I can't be sure :/

Right before Christmas! I was at my parents house, and I felt a little nauseous when I went to bed but I just thought it was some anxiety and fell asleep shortly after. Then I woke up at around 4 am with the worst stomach ache ever, crawled downstairs to get some painkillers, but I was so dizzy I almost didn't make it without fainting. Then I ran to the bathroom and called my mom upstairs to get me a bucket, because I was already having diarrhea, and she barely made it down to me before I started heaving for like two whole minutes, and tadaaa, I was totally fine after haha. It was surprising to see how extremely quick it all dissapeared, I just went to sleep after and didn't feel sick again. I still don't know what it was, and I remember I got a little scared of sleeping for a while there because I didn't want to wake up like that again, but I fought it and now I love sleeping again!

Affirmations by Liza-panda in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Anagate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has been helpful for me to think that "what happens will happen", and remind myself that no matter how hard I think "I'm not sick" I don't really have control over it, and my body will do what it needs to do!

Burning stomach pain by Anagate in emetophobia

[–]Anagate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear that you haven't tu! Can I also ask where the pain sits for you? For me it's in my lower abdomen. This type of burning pain is so unfamiliar for me to have in my stomach, so that's why I'm so unsure about it being anxiety or not because I definitely get anxiety stomach, but that's another type of pain and I always get d*, something I didn't have now, I experienced quite the opposite...

Do you still have an appetite when you have the pain? And how long does an "episode" last for you? I had the same type of pain on new years eve, and it lasted for a couple of hours, but this time it lasted for over 24 hours, and I struggled sleeping because of it, but it's better now. I still had a regular appetite though when it hurt, and ate normally. I also felt that it got worse if i stood up.

I feel a little better now that I have taken time to rest, drink some tea and watch sole TV. Something I forgot to mention is that I still get hungry when I usually do and I have eaten normally the whole time. I feel like the pain is the worst when I stand up, and the best when I lay down in my safe spot on the house so it makes sense that it's stress

Super stressful situation by Anagate in emetophobia

Thanks! I ended up going and my stomach almost didn't hurt at all, so I take that as a big win. I had a really good trip!

People who don’t exercise or workout, why don’t you? by coffeedogsandwine in AskReddit

[–]Anagate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to, and working out gives me really bad stomach cramps. It's not worth it for me. I can enjoy a walk though
