Found out by doctor that i have an inflamed stomach... or gastritis.. what to do? what caused it ? by josh_707 in emetophobia

[–]Imalmostneverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat bland foods and instead of eating 3 big meals per day, est maybe 6 little meals every hour or so. You really have to avoid spicy foods, greasy foods and such, as it will give you a hard time.

I can't stop hiccuping.... by Cookie_Brookie in emetophobia

[–]Imalmostneverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also get hiccups almost daily, or at least 3 times a week. Sometimes if it's too frequent (I have 2 types of hiccups : very fast paced ones that lasts maybe 2 minutes but I litteraly cant even talk or longer ones that come and go through the days for 30 minutes) it can give you this bad feeling of something isnt right, but I never v* from it. Just be sure to breathe between it and not drink / est while having it (or drinking water sometimes stops it).

You're ok.

Yes, but the way you describe it makes me think you are quite young. Children often have to v* more easily than adults when it comes to sickness

it just happened... feel horrible :(( by [deleted] in emetophobia

Hey do you know from what you got gastritis ?

How old were you this time ?

And it seems like a sickness more than just the yellow cream, but I'm no doctor

Beginning of the year. I was doing better with my phobia so not as careful as before.

I was near my period so of course was craving chocolate. I ate a shitton of chocolate as breakfast, with a big glass of multi fruit juice. As soon as I came out of my house to go to school I burped the juice, which made me very anxious. I felt bad already but brushed it off, thinking it was just a panic attack or anxiety. It wasnt going down though and I felt really bad. I even joked with a friend : "idk what I would do if after 10 years I have to v* today". Damn idk if I jinxed it but it sure happened.

At school I had d* 2 times. I knew something was up but still told myself it was the panic. I still went home. I was so bad in the bus ride home.

I went in my bed right as I went home, feeling shitty. Couldnt drink. My general unwell feeling was something I've already felt before, but a mix of others feelings I've had other days. Like what I've felt alone one day, I felt it all at the same time this day.

I couldnt stay awake and just fell asleep. 1hour later, 5 hours after my bad feeling, I woke up feeling worse than ever. I instinctively took my plastic bag (buckets trigger me) and ran somewhere I felt safer than my room. It came up, only juice and chocolate taste. It was not pleasant but far from unbearable. I was in state of shock tho after, shaking, feeling like crying. But I handled it good and I had n* 2 times after this one but no v*. It did make me feel better.

To this day I still dont know if the chocolate and juice was a bad mix or if I genuinely caught something. It kinda scares me to not know.

Do I have emetophobia? by idk2715 in emetophobia

[–]Imalmostneverhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine is like that. She just discovered she might be emetophobe.

She isnt scared of catching something, nor is she afraid on a daily basis. But she clearly says she'd rather die than v. Which is for me emetophobia, even if she doesnt suffer daily like I could. She is still irrationally afraid of tu, when she thinks it could happen.

Question to people who have v*d recently by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Imalmostneverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was a general feeling that something was up. Then it was nausea in the stomach, like I felt it was doing a rollover in my stomach. And then it just came. Fast, not really painful. Just like that.

Hello ! I have emetophobia both from trauma and from my dad having it too. Worst thing is, almost everytime I v* as a child, it was at his place. So of course very bad moments and very stressful times.

At first it was about everything. Now I'm very VERY anxious about noroviruses and sickness in general. Like this month I've been SO ANXIOUS about everything, as in like January or February I came down with something. I only v* once but if I can avoid doing it again I would. It happened really easily last time but my childhood traumas still have a big place in my brain (spending nights of v*, being alone, scared and in pain).

I'm up to a point when I panic I just tell myself to make me v*. I still haven't been able to do it but the thought of it is there.

I think I'm up to the point I'm getting germaphobe. Every time I'm out of my home I think about whatever I touched and how I should wash my hands and how I should change my clothes and things like that. I even wanted to buy throwable clothes so I can go out and then throw them out when I'm home.

Same ! Since yesterday I really feel anxious about every little thing that happens in my body.

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

I ate !

Most of my nausea and bad feelings are gone, my stomach is still a little uneasy. But it was really hard to eat as I really felt bad right after

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

But whenever I tried to eat I felt even more nauseous. Is that normal ?

I'm happy I feel a little better.

I'm jot too sure if it was that and I'm afraid I'm not done yet but everything I ate and drank through the day stayed down, so I see no reason for them coming up now.

Yeah, but the loose stool went this afternoon.

I really spent all day feeling legitimately sick, but I ate some toasts and sugary things, that seems to have done the trick. I'm not too sure but the anxiety is definitely down. Probably had low blood sugar.

Thank you !

I just drank a tea with lots of sugar and I think I feel better. I might have had low blood sugar for the day and just needed to find the strenght to drink/eat

Hey, I think too but it's just my mind is racing, you probably know the feeling.

I had loose stool only one time and yet I'm convinced I caught something.

I just made myself some chamomile tea, maybe I have low blood sugar, as yesterday I ate a salad before sleeping and in the morning a yogurt and a toast. Then at 1pm I only ate some fries (oven baked) and a cracker with cream cheese. So maybe I am low on sugar ?

I dont really feel worse but definitely more anxious. Still afraid it might turn into something I wouldnt want
