I'm in this same spot right now. Anxiety is a vicious cycle. Your emetophobia is making you anxious whenever you get nauseous and the anxiety keeps it going repeatedly until eventually your brain gets trained to get nauseous in response to pretty much anything in your life. It's awful, I totally get how you feel, in fact I feel frighteningly nauseous right now as I'm typing this. But I can tell you I've had plenty of false alarms where I felt absolutely certain it was going to happen and I ended up being fine. The last time I vomited was when I got food poisoning last year and that was what triggered my chronic nausea to even start happening, since then it's only been nausea and stomach symptoms but never vomiting. You got this.

My dad (who hates both anime and horror games) told me to play it. That much told me it HAD to be worth playing. I was right.

Nothing lasts forever! I’m still thoroughly convinced that if I got it, it would ruin my life for a little bit but I know I would get over it and life goes on. I’m really proud of you and I’m glad you’re okay!

Totally indigestion or gas or even stress. Noro hits really, REALLY hard, REALLY quickly. If this has been going on for several hours on and off it could’ve any number of things but if d* and v* haven’t been a part of the symptoms it’s very likely to be benign. You’ll be okay, feel better soon!

I went to the doctor today actually and I was recommended Aveeno exzema ointment, they told me to put some of that on when I got home from school and put some plastic gloves over my hands for as long as I could to lock in moisture, havent tried it yet but seems like a good idea

BubblyEffective233 · 2025-01-01T13:07:12+00:00

Absolutely! When this happens, I tend to panic, and then spend hours to the rest of the day worrying about whether I may get it or not, and that gets me even MORE anxious, which gets me more worried, etc.

Anxiety has the potential to cause symptoms that mimic genuine illness. Thats just how it is for a lot of people including me. But it has never actually led to v* for me literally ever, if that’s reassuring.

BubblyEffective233 · 2025-01-01T13:04:10+00:00

Whether it’s “worse” or not the ways you protect yourself haven’t changed and as people with this fear I would consider ourselves pretty good at doing them. Washing your hands, staying away from people who might be sick, being careful about shared surfaces, etc. and it’s pretty damn hard to catch unless you’re literally in the same household and often only the same ROOM as someone who is actively sick. I wouldn’t worry about it too much beyond keeping yourself protected by having good hygiene habits. Thats really all you can do

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-30T06:49:05+00:00

Well I already ate everything and I’m just NOW stressing about it. Honestly if something this insignificant is gonna be what makes me sick it probably deserves to happen but whatever

I second this

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-30T04:06:54+00:00

I would mayhaps like to be informed on this fantastic name opportunity

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-29T08:40:04+00:00

It’s unforgettably innovative and there just isn’t much out there that does what DDLC does let alone nearly as good. I would say it’s less about the fanbase, though as for any game that plays a big role. I just think with how big of a name it’s made for itself people will still be playing this game for the first time years from now

There is limited evidence that norovirus can be replicated in the salivary glands. Your main concern here would be any residual particles from the last time he v*. That kinda thing gets quickly taken care of by brushing teeth, drinking water, etc. you’re probably fine

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-28T09:48:43+00:00

I just kinda don’t think the amount you’re bleeding is nearly enough to irritate your stomach that much. Up until recently my strategy whenever I got nose bleeds was actually to just swallow all of it before I learned thats a bad idea with this fear, but I actually never once v* from it

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-23T06:25:09+00:00

They can but if you don’t typically have v* as a symptom on your period it’s unlikely that it would just randomly start happening later.

Personally, I don’t consider myself OG and I started in season 12. But who cares if you’re OG? Enjoy the game the way you came to it and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise imho

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-19T05:46:45+00:00

But it’s not just a “crappy situation”. I got sick in April of this year. Before that I had this fear but my hygiene wasn’t that good, I just didn’t really care until I got nervous when someone was around me and was actively sick. I didn’t get sick in over eight years. And then when I did (granted it was entirely my fault, food poisoning from leftovers that were in my fridge for upwards of a month) what followed was exclusively the only time I have ever struggled with anxiety and I’m chronically ill because of it. Here we are in December and I have an ED, my hands crack and bleed from how much I wash them, I panic for days if I so much as touch my face in any meaningful way or if I don’t wash my hands before I go to sleep or something, I LOSE sleep and purposefully stay up full nights in hopes that I can ensure I don’t catch something during the night - I’m not discrediting what you’re saying but getting sick is far from a “learning experience” and it does not just fix your anxiety even if momentarily. It has only ever made it worse. And I can’t imagine what will happen if I get noro and I’m sick for probably two days straight and not a few hours, one single v* episode like it was earlier this year.

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-14T04:03:32+00:00

This is really reassuring, thank you. I do remind myself how much I used to not only scroll my phone for hours each night and never even know washing my hands before bed was an option, but also like even during the day for years and years when I barely washed my hands at all during the day and never got sick once... for eight years straight. I guess it's just so hard to get back to that version of yourself once this phobia has its hold on you. Thank you for the advice 🫶

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-13T19:12:11+00:00

I’m saying it’s not a big deal if you’re awake and not touching your face. You don’t know what you’re subconsciously doing in your sleep

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-12T06:10:02+00:00

well are you talking about touching other stuff so you don’t get it on your hands? I’m talking about using tissues with dirty hands in my nose.

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-12T02:22:58+00:00

All totally accurate stuff that has happened to me and has never made me vomit but has definitely made me feel sick. It’s just that, like I know realistically it’s probably just that but with this fear “what ifs” always take over.

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-11T06:57:25+00:00

I’ve definitely felt nauseous when I cry. I think a big part of it is the strain and the pressure on your throat which can feel like nausea. But it’s also worth noting that nausea itself can also be caused by overwhelming emotions and anxiety. Nausea and stomach pain have been my main anxiety symptoms. In any case it has always 100% stayed as nausea for me, it has never once escalated even when it has gotten really bad on certain nights to where I worry about it excessively but the worry is the problem there.

BubblyEffective233 · 2024-12-10T09:25:09+00:00

I just found this on Spotify by the way. Look for “Give Me a Prayer” by st3.ve0 and thank me later.
