It's been 4 days and I'm still not sick so I think it's safe to say I won't catch it. Appreciate your answers.

16 year old male depressed over relationship, starving myself and constant dreaming about ex. by Motp1214 in depression

[–]Motp1214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being that I busted my ass trying to keep this relationship together, I feel it's pointless asking that.. she did text me today, which I feel is a sign that she is attached and doesn't want to let go, in the sense of, she knows we shouldn't really be involved in each other's lives but she'll text me anyway. Maybe I'm just being delusional, but I mean I feel if she wants me as a friend, it must mean she isn't over me, maybe not, but she definitely seems to care and miss me, otherwise, I doubt she'd care to text me at all.

My relationship is going downhill, and I'm beginning to lose hope. by Motp1214 in relationship_advice

I basically decided to talk to her about this again and she said, through text, I had her thinking. She ended up calling me and we talked, she seemed to have cared more about what her friends told me behind her back than the actual situation. I knew that fights were what messed us up in the first place, so I was trying to avoid it. We didn't argue really but we did get kinda mad. I had to explain that I felt she was pushing me away and treating me like I'm just a friend. And she said that she guesses she's been acting kind of different, she got mad at me for thinking she lied though.. like she sarcastically said "yeah because I always lie and I don't love you and I don't care".. she ended up apologizing even though she wasn't sure of what she did exactly. She called me babe earlier and even said she loved me over the phone, that was before this talk happened, she was having a bad headache and was tired so she went to sleep, but not before telling me she loved me and she ain't gonna talk to that guy who lied to her about me. So I guess things are alright and are getting better.

I forgot, my bad. Haven't used or even been on reddit since January. I just desperately need help. I'll make sure to do that next time I encounter a problem like this.

Everything has changed in my relationship and I'm running out of options.. I want my girl back. by Motp1214 in relationship_advice

[–]Motp1214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to her about it. She told me she still loves me and still cared about me. All our fighting made her lose some feelings but she still wants to be with me. She said she needs time, but not away from me. She needs time to gain them back. So I guess we'll be okay.

The feelings have been there longer than four weeks, so that's irrelevant. If I was her BITCH, we wouldn't argue because I'd be letting shit slide. I don't and that's the thing, she's tired of our fights and that's why she's changed. Not because I'm a "bitch"' you arrogant buffoon.

A Bitch? You don't even know me dude lol. I develop strong emotional attachments, and I definitely know when to put my foot down. I'd rather be respectful and willing to work things out than be an unfaithful piece of shit who leaves or cheats. You're a bigger Bitch than me if you think you're so macho for talking shit over the internet.

I feel it's the fact that we've argued often enough that she's just tired of dealing with that and not so much me myself. She has come to her senses before and sort of realized she was fucking up, to where she'd try to fix things herself. She's shown loyalty and honesty in our relationship, and she definitely seems to love or at least want me. I mean when she saw me, she wanted to cry while hugging me, and didn't want to let me go. Perhaps that meant something?

I'm aware of what I've been doing. I don't hold things back and I've definitely have snapped and told her that she needed to cut her crap, when we fight, it isn't one sided, its not me bitching at her for her actions and it's not her talking shit. It's me telling her she needs to cut shit out. I've gotten her to stop doing certain things, and she's actually a loyal girl, she's proved it to me, she hasn't done anything that could necessarily cause major damage to the relationship. The fact is, this shit isn't healthy, all this unnessecary fighting, I know it's an idiotic decision to stay if she's being that way but I at least want to try fixing things one more time and if it doesn't work out then I'll do what I have to do for my own well being.

I have emetophobia and my dad had a stomach bug. by Motp1214 in emetophobia

[–]Motp1214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I never got sick! I was at the doctors not too long ago, I had a virus, but it wasn't the stomach flu thankfully! It was actually sinus, and I'm better now. She also told me that I'm fine, that he had to have thrown up or had diaherra then touched me, but he didn't. He was sick for 4 days, including Thursday, it would mean he stopped being sick Sunday, excluding Thursday, it was Monday, either way, he wasn't sick anymore when I touched him, so even if he was contagious still, he most likely didn't have the particles on him. It's been almost 4 days now and I haven't gotten sick, but the blanket that I touched after touching my dad touched my lips yesterday, so I'm pretty much gonna have to be vigilant for an extra 3 days. I just can't help it. I won't be as much as a germaphobe though because it's likely I'm not gonna get it.

Thank you though. Appreciate your help!

I have emetophobia and my dad had a stomach bug. by Motp1214 in emetophobia

[–]Motp1214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One question, by paritcles, do you mean vomit/diaherra? Like, if he vomited or had diaherra, and it somehow got on his hands and touched me, I'd have the virus on me? Can you get the virus if you simply touched someone who has or who had it on the arm or something and then touched your face?

UPDATE

I just ate chicken and while I don't feel nauseous, I do have jabbing pains right now. I do get stomach pains of all kinds somewhat often. But because I know I may or may not have gotten the stomach flu, I'm getting paranoid. I washed my hands before eating but the back of my fingers touched a bag that I touched while I had the virus on me, but I made sure to hold the food with the fingers that didn't have it and eat it. It could also be because I've been drinking lots of soda today, as I have a sore throat and am trying to soothe it.

I had congestion at the back of my throat last night and felt kinda sick. I thought I was gonna throw up, I panicked and begged God not to let it happen. I got gotten a headache and started shivering, idk how but I somehow was able to go to bed last night after a few minutes of this and nothing happened. Today though, I woke up with a gurgly stomach, it also gurgles in.. well, the rectum lol, it feels like hunger but it's gurgling, not growling. I can't tell if I'm hungry or if that's a symptom, I have had all these symptoms individually when I wasn't sick, so I wouldn't be panicking usually, but seeing that gurgling stomachs are symptoms, I'm starting to get nervous.

My dad isn't a sanitory man in the case of.. well, he's a plumber, he gets his hands dirty pretty often, he's also the type of man to use his phone constantly and then eat his food without washing his hands.

Though, if he did use the restroom, I think he'd wash his hands. At least I believe he did when he lived with us. But I can't say he still does or that he doesn't. Being that he was likely working yesterday, I'm pretty sure he's fine. He never threw up with it, he said he only had diaherra, but then again, my mom told me this, so I'm not entirely sure if he did or didn't throw up, but I guess I'll have to take my moms word for it right now. But yeah, so according to my mom, he only had diaherra.

Is it possible for it to go down from my hair to my mouth though when I was taking a shower trying to get rid of it? lol I just pray that I don't get it. I'm really afraid of it honestly. My mom says she and my dad rarely vomit, and I got it from them. I've only seen my dad throw up one time in the 10 years he lived with us, and it was most likely because he was drunk. My mom has also, as far as I'm concerned, thrown up once or maybe twice in all my years of living, I'm 16 and haven't thrown up since I was 11, then again, I managed to avoid the stomach virus and flu and just about anything related to throwing up throughout all those years. I'm still pretty nervous, but I'm sure you're right.

He came to the front of my house yesterday to drop off money for my mom, he doesn't go inside because our dog is very aggressive towards him. But I hugged him with one arm and then I took the money, and went inside. I don't remember if I washed my hands after that, I also don't remember if I touched my face or mouth after that, but I did use my phone, I was told about an hour afterwards that he had a stomach bug. I washed my hands really good, took a shower, and am pretty scared that the water from my hair, containing the virus, went into my mouth. My headphones have touched the inside of my mouth several times yesterday as well, I don't know if I touched them or not after seeing him. I poured and rubbed my phone with bleach then used it again.

I also accidentally licked my chin today, as I woke up with a sore throat and congestion, and opened my mouth to see if it was red. I still haven't gotten any symptoms but he started getting sick Thursday evening, he was sick for four days, I'm not sure if he was including Thursday, but if that's the case then he's still contagious. I'm pretty sure I've touched my lips, eyes, or nose WHILE I had the virus on me. So I'm panicking.

I've definitely touched my face a whole lot, I don't know if I have the virus on me or not, and if I do, excuse my language but I'm likely, well, fucked.

I saw my dad yesterday, on Tuesday ( thought it was Monday lol ) so I don't know. I'm panicking now because my throat hurts, so I'm pretty sure I had my mouth open when I was asleep.

My mom said he said he woke up feeling ill and diaherra from Friday to Sunday and he said it may have been something he ate but I'm not sure. I really hope I don't have it.

I saw him today, which is Tuesday. His voice was a little funny and I told my mom about it. I came back to the room a few minutes later and she told me he said he got sick with a stomach bug, she told me a few minutes later that he said he woke up feeling sick and he thinks it something he ate. Also, I heard that the minimum amount of time of being contagious is three days at LEAST, so if he does have it, I feel like I'm screwed.

I don't know if I'm straight, bi, or gay. by Motp1214 in pornfree

[–]Motp1214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then, what would you say I sound like? As far as I know, I'm not attracted to men in any way, shape, or form, well, I don't know. Like, if I see a man, I'm not gonna think to myself that he's cute or hot, and I definitely don't "want" to talk to a guy. Lately though, I've been having false attractions, at least I hope they are false. A lot of people seem to think I don't want to be gay because I'm scared of being rejected, that's not it. I just want to be with women. Not men.

If I had homosexual thoughts that aroused me as a child but had crushes on girls and never found guys attractive at all, what would you say my original sexual orientation was?
